Hey Guys and Girls.
As many of you know (or will know now) Oran park will be closing down this year. It's a crying shame as it is a great sprint track but if you've ever been there it is falling behind in its buildings and facilites. So it'll be closing down this year and will be bulldosed. The owner of the land is hoping to build a new Oran Park literally over the road from the track site but obviously that will be only approved when local government and certain environmental agencys give it the green light which could take at least 3-5 years.

So in the mean time this is what they have up there sleave for 2007 +. I have seen the proposed track in Julys edition of Motor magizine and it looks simply unreal, lots of fast straights etc. The track is in a perfect location as it is right near a large train station, the tarmac is very nice and if it is held during summer time would be good for tyre/track temps as the place is like one big conduction oven! With all the tiling, roads and metal buildings and structures etc etc.
I know this is V8's and all but i think this would be out of this world. It would be great for the area's local economy and is a fantastic way to show off the Olympic Park venue in another sporting format.
Tell us what you think.
Bring it on i say!
