Description

A competitor in the V8 racing stops at a 'HCC courtesy pitstop' and smiles as his car is filled up with petrol thanks to the ratepayer. Context; Hamilton city councillors have called in external auditors to review how the city's V8 Supercars race has cost ratepayers more than $30 million. Hamilton Mayor Julie Hardaker yesterday confirmed the cost of the annual V8 Supercar race had ballooned to $27.4m over the three years the city has hosted the event. The Waikato Times understands the council paid confidential hosting rights of more than $4 million from its events sponsorship fund. The new figure is approaching three times the $11m figure councillors claimed they had previously understood. The 27.4m is made up of $17.98m for set-up costs, $2.9m for related costs, $5.1m for operational costs and a $3.5m cost to transition the event to a new promoter, offset by $1.5m in revenue.
