Eastern Creek feasibility study plans released
Sydney could be in line to host Australia's first permanent motor racing 'supercircuit' equal to the world's best, according to plans released today. A $350,000 feasibility study commissioned by the Australian Racing Drivers Club (ARDC) has outlined opportunities to use Eastern Creek International Raceway as the basis of the world-class development. The plan includes three interlinked tracks offering six permutations, of which three can be used simultaneously. The track developments also allow for year-round use of the complex for road safety training, as well as providing convention facilities, music arenas and a purpose-built 'youth entertainment' bowl. The ARDC and designer, UK-based Apex Circuit Design, presented the plan this week to the NSW state government, owners of the Eastern Creek Raceway complex. According to Apex the new facility could be built within two years using more than 70 per cent of the existing Eastern Creek circuit as its base. The existing infrastructure would enable the supercircuit to be built for approximately one-third of the cost of a greenfields site. Initial estimates for the cost of track development are $93 million, with graded implementation to suit budget requirements. More http://www.mcnews.com.au/NewsArchive...reek_plans.htm
