    I don't know what your talking about but it is most certainly development and not that it loses money. The parramatta light rail will be going through there and because of that the circuit can no longer function. The whole area from Olympic park through to Rosehill and Parramatta is going to have huge developments on it and the light rail will run along what is the front straight of the layout.

    I have gone to this event many times and will be going there again in 2 weeks. There is always plenty of people, especially near where the pits are situated and around the station area.

    The main problem is that they couldn't get people to buy grandstand tickets because they are so expensive and so most people only buy general admission.
