 "heavy-hitter" Roland Dane said that the sport's most successful team could be "forced to move south if Queensland loses its showpiece races." The state government and Supercars "are in a funding dispute which will have major implications for the future of the sport in Queensland." The Gold Coast and Townsville races do not have contracts beyond this year and the Ipswich council has "entered into negotiations with Supercars directly for its event." Supercars has "requested the same level of funding it received from the government for the current three-year contract" (Brisbane COURIER MAIL, 6/26). 

MotoGP organizers said that Assen, Netherlands, "will host the Dutch MotoGP round" until at least '26. The Dutch TT was first held at the circuit in 1925 and Assen "is the only venue to have been on the motorcycling grand prix calendar every year since the world championship started in 1949." MotoGP promoters Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said that contract extensions "were normally for five years but Assen had been given 10 due to the circuit's need for guarantees as a result of a five to seven-year program of investment in upgrading the facilities" (REUTERS, 6/25).
