Deputy Premier John Barilaro said it is a new era of racing and the 2020 Lighting Project at Western Sydney Motorsport Precinct could not have come at a better time.
“We know that COVID-19 is taking its toll on this State, and racing is a real morale boost for those isolating at home, and so it will be fantastic when motorsport gets back on track,” Mr Barilaro said.
There are 134 lighting poles being installed with world-class LED technology used on tracks like Daytona in the United States and Sepang in Malaysia.
The $33 million upgrade of Sydney Motorsport Park also includes $11 million in enhancements for Sydney International Dragway, $6.4 million to construct a Motor Sports Centre of Excellence and work to find an operations site for Motorcycling NSW.
Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the upgrades would provide a tourism and economic boost for Western Sydney.
“The upgrade of Sydney Motorsport Park will enable the site to host some of the biggest motor racing events in Australia, providing a tourism and economic shot in the arm for Western Sydney,” Mr Ayres said.
“It will also give NSW motorsport fans what they have been craving with more world-class motor racing events on their doorstep.”
