New Bathurst Racetrack Given A$10M Boost From Local Government

The proposed second circuit in Bathurst has "taken another step closer to becoming a reality," with the New South Wales government pledging a further A$10M ($7.5M) of funding, according to Andrew van Leeuwen of MOTORSPORT. NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro confirmed that the state government "earmarked" A$10M for the "Velocity Park" project in its latest budget. The project is "aiming to build a permanent circuit and business park" alongside the Mount Panorama track, with plans to "foster a thriving motorsport industry" and even bring series such as MotoGP and Superbikes to the regional center. Barilaro said, "This is about tourism, it’s about jobs, it’s about the economy. And more importantly it’s about showcasing what is fantastic about regional New South Wales, places like Bathurst" (MOTORSPORT, 6/7).
