Without a doubt, excitement levels are shifting up a gear in Newcastle’s city centre, with motorsports fans counting down to one of the biggest weekends on their race calendars, and in this issue, we catch up with Lowndes ahead of his swan-song Supercar race. The Coates Hire Newcastle 500 will roll into the city on
November 23–25, bringing with it millions of dollars’ worth of finely-tuned race cars, the best V8 drivers in the country and tens of thousands of motorsports fans eager to see who will cross the line first when the chequered flag falls.
But in 2018, it’s not just about the racing (although that’s pretty cool!) There is a concerted effort this year to activate areas within Newcastle and Hamilton with events designed for both race-goers and residents – including the super-fun kid's zone at Civic Park. City of Newcastle and other local authorities have created a range of activities that will bring locals back into the city during the Newcastle 500. Read all about it in this months Supercars Pullout!
