Construction gets the green light at Barbagallo Raceway

Construction gets the green light at Barbagallo Raceway
August 15, 2011

Work has started on the highly-anticipated upgrades to Barbagallo Raceway in preparation for Perth's next scheduled V8 race round in May 2012.

Western Australian Sport and Recreation Minister Terry Waldron said demolition of the landmark race tower was first step in the multimillion dollar redevelopment, stating we have "committed $15 million to upgrades at the track - an investment for all classes of motor sport."

Work on the track and associated infrastructure necessary to host a V8 event includes:

• Modern infield pit lane complex (including exit and entry from track and associated safety walls)
• New medical centre;
• Communications upgrading;
• Better lighting;
• Realignment of safety fences at corners five, six and seven.

Eventscorp Executive Director of Eventscorp David van Ooran said this year's return of V8 Supercars to Perth had been a great success.

"With the upgraded facilities at Barbagallo Raceway, next year's event is guaranteed to be even better.

"The upgrades will benefit competitors, organisers and spectators and ensure this event continues to grow."
