In a coup for the city, Newcastle will host the series final of the Supercars Championship, following an announcement today.
It’ll be the first Supercars race ever held in Newcastle, with some of the city’s best landmarks including Nobbys Beach and Fort Scratchley.
The Baird Government says the race should inject more than $57 million into the Hunter Region over the next five years and attract 81,000 visitors from across the country.
The inaugural event will take place in November next year.
