We call on Sean Seamer, the CEO of Supercars Australia, The Lord Mayor of Newcastle Cr Nuatali Nelmes, and the NSW Minister for Tourism Stuart Ayres MP to support the return of the Coates Hire Newcastle 500 to the streets of Newcastle East in 2021 should COVID restrictions allow the event to proceed, and commit to an extension of the event until at least 2025 based on the success of the event 2017, 2018 and 2019. 

The past events drew hundreds of thousands of spectators to Newcastle and created exposure for the entire Hunter Region creating much needed tourism for the area.

Newcastle Supercar fans are some of the most passionate and loyal fans in the sport. We love our sport and  want to continue to have a race locally based here in Newcastle.
