Default Sandown - looks like the end

Looks like the curtain has started to come down on Sandown.

The MRC has submitted plans to Dandenong council to rezone the land to residential/mixed use to prepare for a possible sale. Not a suprise as it's been talked about in racing circles for a while now. It's only used these days for the mid-week meetings, and for the occasional Saturday meeting during the quieter times of year. As a result, the spectator facilities aren't of the same standard of the other 3 city tracks.

Looks like Calder might end up being the only full-time circuit in Melbourne proper, there will be a gap in the Supercars calendar, and the driver training will have to move, to either Calder or possibly Lang Lang, depending on who buys it.
