My concern is that we will lose rounds in Australia in favour of overseas rounds, as I think they still have a cap on the number of rounds in a season?
Already we see that Symmons Plains due to expected less Tasmanian Government funding is looking very likely to lose their round.
We only have a round in South Australia because of subsidies of the SA Govt., and the street circuit. Meanwhile Mallala loses out.
NSW other than Bathurst, only has a temporary street circuit until the govt., loses faith in it and stops funding it.
Qld, has 3 rounds, with QR set to lose their round sooner or later, leaving 2 temporary street tracks.
Victoria is the lucky state, where they hold 3 rounds at permanent tracks, plus a non-champ round at the Grand Prix, so 4 events in the state!
WA is lucky that their state govt has been talked in to funding the event at a permanent track, and the same with the NT and Hidden Valley.
Clearly we see that Tassie and Qld have 'expendable' rounds, which will open up races overseas. We also have 4 race weekends in Victoria that could easily be chopped in half, giving an opening to another 2 overseas rounds.
Now that the series has been sold off, this new business is there to make money and stuff the traditions of Australian race series (NZ is just a part of Australia if you like).
