Sydney could host night Grand Prix
13 March 2008Melbourne might lose its Australian Grand Prix as it is not willing to host the race at night, in order to get more viewers in Europe watching the race. The government in the Sydney area now though has said it could host the Australian race at night at Eastern Creek.
The government of New South Wales believes it could light a Formual 1 race in Sydney if that's what it takes to keep Formula One coming to Australia. NSW Premier Morris Lemma has suggested the race could be held at Eastern Creek, the track that also plays host to the A1GP series.
"If the race is available at some stage we'd certainly be interested," Mr Iemma told Australian newspaper the Herald Sun. "It's not a blank cheque, but it could be held at a place like Eastern Creek, obviously with modifications. If Formula One is looking for a night race then Eastern Creek could be converted to suit them."
The organizers of the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne have a contract with Bernie Ecclestone that allows them to keep the race until 2010.
