Is it any more expensive that shutting down the Gold Coast for a couple of weeks? Or Homebush when it was still alive? Or Newcastle?

Yes it is Melbourne... but there is no reason to suggest its impossible.. with the right level of government support..

Perhaps the new ownership of V8Supercar makes this a moot point if they can align the Liberty position and the AGPC..
