Spotted: Exige S...Twice!
Discussion
First time I had seen it was this weekend, I'll keep em peeled and if I see him when Im in the Elise I'll try to get him to acknowledge.
Sounds interesting - which day is it going to be there... (he says hoping its going to be the Sunday!) I was up at Oran park a couple of weeks back, seems a shame that place is going to close as the circuit is actually quite good from what I saw...

I'll have a search round Aussie Elises and see if there is anything on there, if I find out I'll post something up.
Apparently the Oran Park site is going to become a housing estate, it'll be a large area for sure but such a waste... unless...you can have the house with the track in your back-yard!

There are some works in progress to provide alternative facilities.
Unfortunately local Council's don't like the idea due to green warriors and NIMBY's.
There is currently a proposal by Newcastle MG Car Club and Motorplex Australia for a large development just north of Raymond Terrace (near Newcastle) which would involve a drag strip, circut and hill climb on the current site, currently only a hill climb circut. It's located next to a quarry and a motorcross track, but was refused by both Port Stephens Council and the Land and Environment Court. I hope to be speaking to the director soon to get some other possible options explored.
I have also heard whispers about someone who is synomous with driver education and oran park who is looking at providing a new facility in the southern highlands...

That might be Murcotts then? They run various courses at Oran Park which I have to say are actually very good too. I was on one a few weeks back and I was actually very impressed with the way they did things.
Good news there is something else 'potentially' in the making - if your in discussion with them it might also be worth suggesting a 4x4 course...!
