layout

This article needs a track layout map showing the long and short circuits described in the article. --Scott Davis ^Talk 10:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need to worry. I have created a map from an image on Google Earth, and am about to upload it. It should serve until a proper map is produced. Let me know if anyone has any peeves about it -- Stealthman 01:33, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...Done. You should be able to find my map on the article page. -- Stealthman 02:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it would appear that my image has been deleted and replaced with a much better one, and I would have to say a smashing job! I couldn't have done it better myself. Thankyou. Stealthman (talk) 10:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History

Welcome Matt51F1. Couple of things, and leaving the political aspect out of it, and the numerous claims needing citations and references, the initial 'non-descript' meet had no crowd at all as it was not advertised, a deliberately low key event, some V8Supercar teams practiced but did not race, but several other categories did race. In July the first V8Supercar event was held, the famous meeting with the diabolical traffic nightmare, but certainly not 'non-descript', it was a full championship round with the Australian Drivers' Championship, national series Superbikes, GT-Production and Formula Ford. Week later it held the All-Historic Queensland meet, then a Super Touring round. Then the Qld 500 in September. Also, of the orginal consortium who purchased the circuit only the John and Amanda Tetley are still directly involved with the circuit. The others have sold their stakeholding. --Falcadore (talk) 11:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was present at this 'first non-descript' event spoken of in the article, and it was indeed a round of the V8 Supercar series in 1999. I thought it was rather well attended and attended well for the following years before I stopped going due to the amount of people that would turn up. Other events I agree are poorly attended, however that is due to most motorsport fans only following the V8 Supercar series and poor advertising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.173.192.208 (talk) 10:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can assure there was a small meeting prior to the V8 championship round, I was working at it. Leaving that aside the edit makes a number of assertions, several of them strong in nature which would require citations or references. Do you have any? --Falcadore (talk) 03:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
