Wonderful move by a government looking to further reduce our carbon footprint. Good on them for putting the environment ahead of economic results.
A win for mother earth!

Nice try except for the fact the Supercars haven't had a carbon footprint through offsets in more than a decade.
Will have the reverse effect if it forces people to drive to Tailem Bend.
A loss for mother earth and that's no suprise with the Libs.

Caused by their own tourism commission. Totally ****** it once they disbanded the Motorsport Board.....


Aim straight Heater
As Roger Cook said today, it was Labor that canned the Motorsport Board
Both sides are to blame.

I can't speak with any authority or intelligence on the overall effects that disbandment of the Board has had overall, or why it happened.

Personally, and I might have been wrong, but I read your "they" as government in general and not in a partisan context. But, if lines must be drawn (and I'm not), the reformation of dedicated body hasn't seemed to be a priority since March 2018 either, certainly up to this year's event. Rightly or wrongly.

Just sayin'.

Yep a definite burden on the SA taxpayer.
This tosser thinks we are all just low IQ bogan's who'll believe their bullshit that interest was dropping.
It is clearly a winning event.

They'd just prefer to support the arts so the snobs can all get together and have their version of fun.

No reason whatsoever why we can't have both.

Pure political interference, appeasing the rich to get their vote.

Interesting the Premier and CEO of Tourism S.A. have not made any comment on these figures, no doubt because they are correct and they cant deny that fact

They did actually. They gave the 2020 figures.

Roger Cook was very good on the radio this morning.

Another successful SA businessman that unremarkable politicians don’t listen to

In a live press conference he stated falling attendences, and interest over the last few years.
Obviously he hasn't read the numbers correctly the dyslexic ****.
Just makes me so mad that he can flat out lie and not get called our on it.
Purely pandering to the inner city elite's for his own gain rather than the city's.
Ass with zero credilbilty.

Again, this bumbling governments decision making is worse than the redbacks top 6.

Yes but most of it was pretty outdated and needed work so some new equipment was needed regardless
