$100 Million Speedway DISASTER: What Went Wrong?

Eastern Creek Speedway was built in 2021 to replace Sydney’s Valvoline Raceway, but the track that was originally only meant to cost $40 million, has blown out to more than double that figure. With a major list of defects, along with unreasonable contract conditions, the future of the track is uncertain to say the least.
