Another kick in the nuts for QLD Motorsport
Thoughts?
V8 SUPERCARS Australia will not race at the Queensland Raceway this year after negotiations with the track's management broke down.
V8 Supercars say the administrators of the Queensland Government-owned facility at Ipswich just south of Brisbane had made "unfeasible demands'' for the hire of the track.
Among the issues relating to the breakdown in talks was an apparent "near record'' hire fee for the venue and the fact track management wanted V8 Supercars to obtain the costly CAMS licence to host an event.
The event, which was scheduled to be held April 30 to May 2, has now been removed from this year's V8 Supercar championship calendar.
No replacement event is expected to be scheduled, leaving the calendar with 15 events, the same number as 2009.
The Queensland Raceway circuit, nicknamed "the paperclip'', first hosted a V8 Supercar event in 1999.

its a big event that brings in $$$$$$$ from everywhere, so as Guy says... im surprised there was no compromises made

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
Most of the drivers won't be too dissapointed!

There's always something political.....just like Super GP 2009. QLD Raceway isn't that big of an event for the V8's. It only brings around 150,000 spectators over the weekend., therefore not much $$$$$. QLD has two other premium events in the Townsville 400 and the Gold Coast event (new topic idea, new name for the SuperGP) which draw crowds over 250,000 and make a shite load more dough.
agreed, clearly VESA weren't too fussed on making a deal but i beleive it's because of the other two events 've mentioned above.
