Newcastle In The Frame To Host V8 Supercars

BY IAN CROUCH

 Newcastle is a step closer to securing a round of the V8 Supercars.

Councillors last night formally endorsed a partnership with Destination NSW to bid for the event, which would see the V8s race around a street circuit in the C.B.D for 5 years from 2017.

It's believed Newcastle is the front runner to win the hosting rights after Gosford pulled out of the race.
