V8 Supercars race in Perth scrapped

[AndrewM]

Now I'm not much of a Car racing fanatic, but to me this is just another example of the WA government's lack of vision when it comes to catering for Sporting facilities..

Nup, not a sport.

"Third world" being used as poorly as "world class" in stadium parlance.

[AndrewM]

Good point - Surely in Third World countries they would racing rikshaws or tuk tuks? So Barbagallo raceway is really a 'World Class' Category Three racing track. Maybe EventsCorp could bid for the World Tuk Tuk Championships there?

"revheads are not the sort of people we want to come to Western Australia as tourists"

^ The ideology of the WA Liberal party...

LOL. Gotta love Western Australia's sports facilities.

Channel 7 News reporting the Sports Report live from Barbagallo...LOL

At least the 500 seat, $85 million Heath Ledger theatre will be world class. Even if 99.9% of WAians won't even think about going inside.

Dud venue in WA or super modern one in Abu Dhabi...no brainer there.

If Perth doesn’t want Revheads (bull sh*t excuse) they will have to give up the Red bull air race too...they go much faster

Ironic considering the Kwinana Motoplex is considered so highly

Court Government had to bribe Speedway to get out of Claremont because it was upsetting the grandmas...

Seriously who cares about car racing. I'm no petrol head, but I would have thought that in motor sports, F1 is it. V8s are for hacks who can't make it to F1 level.

That's right people. Things that aren't within the top 20-30 in the world are hacks.

Melbourne: hack world city*.








*I thought I was over this. I guess some posters just bring it out of me.
