I hope they build a new track and dont upgrade Barbagello. Barbagello is too small and not enough excitement.

It doesn't sound like they're going to do the city street circuit now. Probably a good thing.

And make sure there is plenty of room between the seats. My god those temp grandstands at street circuits have very little leg room.

about time too. i just hope they do it reasonably quickly (look how long they have farted about over the whole northbridge link thing) and they make sure there is easy access to the place. getting in and out of wanneroo racetrack is a complete nightmare. however, this is a really good start. all we need to do now is hang mark mcgowan from a lamp post for what he did to the rally and i will be happy.
