MotoGP: New racetrack planned for Australian GP

First they will need to pry it from Philip island ,and that ain't going to happen without a fight. Like taking the IOM TT and trying to run it on the UK mainland. I don't think so !

Yeah, Philip Island fucking rules. Easily one of the best circuits out there.

Plus, Melbourne seems to have more riders than any other major city in Oz; at least that's what i thought when travelling. The Gold Coast already has the Indy anyway.

After watching the very first Oz GP in 89 on video, i vowed it was a place i'd love to watch a race at, anyway nearly 20 years after making that promise and still no nearer to it...nevermind.

But it would have to be something special to out do the Island.

Seems like every other week over here there's news of a.n.other new circuit being planned. Meanwhile, the other news is that places like Oran park are getting turned into housing estates.

Last I heard about PI was to develop PI. A moto-x circuit, three and five star hotels, golf courses, cart track etc.

I keep hearing that FG sport are talking at length to Eastern Creek, maybe a move coming up? Who knows, i'm also hearing about a new NZ circuit. Better pack wets then...
