As a motor racing fan attending the race I would much prefer Eastern Creek to any Sydney street circuit.As a taxpayer I would much prefer to see the money spent on hospitals ,schools or even permanent sports facilities than a street circuit.When ALMS was sniffing around the NSW government a few years ago looking for a deal an EIS was done on the Homebush site proposed for the street circuit and it was strongly rejected on environmental grounds.As much as V8 Supercars and Ron Dickson's A1 circuit construction company might want it a Sydney street race is not going to happen.Also the proposed calendar has only 9 rounds which seems very short for an international series.
