The organisers of the V8 Supercars have agreed to change the route of next year's Newcastle 500 following concerns from residents.
About 150 people turned out for an information session last night at Fort Scratchley with NSW Supercars Manager, Murray Hodges.
He told the meeting feedback from the community and Newcastle Council has convinced them to remove the race track through Pacific Park from the original design.
A revised track design will be presented at another community meeting on December 13.
