V8 Supercars draw an unprecedented crowd

BY JESSICA ROUSE

More than six months out from the first Newcastle 500, the Hunter is certainly getting into the spirit of things with fans turning out in huge numbers for the V8 Supercars Fun Day on Saturday.

The Fun Day drew quite the crowd, with more than 10, 000 people heading to Foreshore Park to get their hands on discounted tickets and meet some of the drivers.

Some people lined up for four hours for tickets.

Supercars Australia are said to be starting to discuss how they can fit in more grandstands and Corporate facilities into the area, with tickets looking like they'll sell out well before November.
