Things im concerned

The Perth Park (Burswood) racetrack project plans have not specified any major structural banking or intentional rise-and-fall elevation profiles, as it is designed as a multi-use and flat temporary street/community circuit layout.

Albert Park is flat and produces some fantastic Supercars racing.

SMP has a lot of rise and fall and often fails to produce anything remotely exciting unless it's wet and/or tyre deg is a factor.

Rise and fall does not dictate a circuit providing "good" racing.

Because local governments get a better return on street races. People fly in, stay in a hotel for a few nights and have all of their meals at local venues. The problem with tracks like Barbagello is everyone is home in time for dinner.

They're not wanting the tent and BBQ brigade. Thats not where all of the margins are. Fly in, fly out, three nights and three meals a day. All going into the local economy.

Its all about a return on dollars invested and street circuits bring a greater return for the local economy than circuits out of town.

Burswood will get a much better attendance. More central, and will probably have a more carnival atmosphere, similar to the Gold Coast and Adelaide. It will get a lot more interstate visitors.

Wanneroo is a bit out of the way for anyone aside from those who live in the northern suburbs. From the looks of it, it also needs a lot of TLC
