Is this the end of PI as we know it?

So the whole lot is slated for development and the racetrack's gonna be
replaced by townhouses? I thought Lindsay Fox was a bit of a racing
fanatic. Doesn't he have some massive collection of cars and bikes?

 

where does it say that?

 

Talk about reading what isn't written. The track only occupies about 1/3 of
the land which he bought.

Yeah, damn yuppies will move in and it'll wreck the GP.

On the upside....we'll have accomodation closer to the track!

AHHHH!!! The SKY IS FALLING!!!

justAL

 

Yes. It means that there might be an option of luxury accommodation at
the Supers. Can't see too many people i know using it.

Oh, I forgot about Al....

My sources tell me this accommodation is being planned to house GP
teams and other visitors and will not affect the track.

The track will continue to be used as it is now, but with further
upgrades in the pipeline.

The only downside, according to my mate, is that track hire costs will
skyrocket to the point that track days (via Aust Superbike School)
will become unaffordable to most.

There is also a new track being planned, to meet F1 standards, out at
Melton, West of Melbourne. The land has been purchased and some survey
work done, but the developers appear to have gone silent and nothing
has been reported for several months.

You just don't know the right people.

Until all the people who pay ridiculous amounts of money for the
townhouses bitch and complain about those "damn noisey motorcycle
hooligans" spoiling their peaceful weekends, and the whole GP gets moved
elsewhere where there's no bitching.

Hey, maybe they'll send it back to Eastern Creek.

My sources tell me this accommodation is being planned to house GP

500 three-story townhouses... for GP teams? Doesn't that sound somewhat
ridiculous to you?

They've already upped their prices substantially to reflect their new
contract with Fox&Co (or to reflect their newfound monopoly). It
therefore seems unlikely that Fox would proceed to squeeze out their
newfound bedmate, even if contractually they could.

 

Man , 10 million is cheap for 100 odd hactares , shit 50 people 200 grand
each and vella it coulda been ours .2 hactares each for 200 grand sounds
cheap to me .And we could have used it for practise . **** whata deal

 

Did you not see the "other visitors" bit?

It means there will be a whole new bunch of trackside accommodation
available to people visiting the circuit for all sorts of reasons.
That track is used most weekends and there has always been a shortage
of accommodation on P.I.

Some would say it's much needed and still not enough.

Aust Superbike School has a 5 year contract I'm told. What happens
after that is anybody's guess.

Kind regards

Maths is not your long suit, is it....

100 Hectares, 50 ways, is 2 hectares each.

I don't *know* 50 people who could raise $200,000.

Apart from the track, that part of PI has little to offer. People going
to PI for holidays want either a beach they can walk to, or somewhere
quiet to get away from it all. A development with a couple of hundred
townhouses miles from a good beach isn't going to satisfy either.

Lets hope stage 3 isn't a theme park.

Read what I actually said , I think we are in sync.

 

Eastern Calcutta more like!

 

Did you not see the "other visitors" bit?

**** thats some "OTHER" visitors, with #'s dropping, with cheap
camping its going to attract more people with ?$300 a night
townhouses?

 

Like the idiots who moved near Albert Park?

justAL

 

It has already started but they have abandoned the development so close to
completion....it's called Calder Park.
