Hi all,
Time for an update. It's no secret that we have tendered for a Long Term Lease on the Lakeside Motorsport Complex. Well, it is official. We are in the Top 2! The 4 who put submissions in were: Total Driver Pty Ltd. RACQ Motorcycling Qld / Aust. Qld Raceway 2 of these have since been rejected leaving us and one other. The final step now is an oral presentation to council mid next month. Will keep y'all posted. Cheers,

Thats excellent news.
Lets hope that the other bidder isnt the RACQ, as they have too much of a goody 2 shoes reputation. They wont use it for good, just evil. Best of luck, make sure you have the vicks vapour drops with you, so you can sing your presentation... just like the commercial ;)  :

Driving lakeside is a little bit more unforgiving (actually a lot more) and will be better when there is a bit more rubber on it. It is also closer for me.....

Lakeside Update....
Well, it's all done and now it's up to the council to decide on what they want. Our presentation went really well, we are quietly confident but reserve excitment until we get the official notice in a couple of weeks. Now another 2 weeks or so of nail-biting! Fingers crossed! Cheers, Mike

I don't know the history, but mayor Chapman seems very interested and motivated about the future of Lakeside. Obviously, no one gets to hear what happens behind chamber doors, but the feel we get from the council is that they are just as excited about the whole thing as we are. We've got the next 12 months pretty well booked already at Lakeside if it all goes ahead. Can't wait!!! Cheers, Mike

Good luck TotalDriver. As others have said, it would be a real shame to see such a piece of history lay to ruin.
I wonder if it was a historical building and not a racetrack, would the same debarcle (sp?) be happening about restoration. I think not.

Bring it on Mike
There are a couple of generations of lakeside ex drivers that will use it when it becomes available.

Good luck with your bid. would be gr8 to have a track so close by. 10-15 minutes as opposed to 1-1.5hrs
will be nice to see the track use for what it was intended for not just sitting there heritage list wasting away
