The South Australia government claims the Supercars finale generated over $51 million. RepcoSC
The street race in the South Australian capital returned to the Supercars schedule last December for the first time since 2020 this year after being axed by the former state government at the end of that year., its return having been part of then-opposition leader Peter Malinauskas's election pitch.
That is well above the $38.61 million claimed for the 2020 Adelaide 500 and ahead of the previous record of $45 million in 2019.Other metrics logged by the government include a four-day attendance of 258,200 people, 425 jobs supported, 14,775 media items and a PR value of $162.8 million."The Valo Adelaide 500 was a resounding success on-track and now we know it was an incredible success off-track too," said Malinauskas.
"Pubs and restaurants were packed, hotel rooms were full and more than $50 million was returned to the South Australian economy. Adelaide 500 chief executive Mark Warren said:"I am so proud of our team who worked so hard to bring back the Valo Adelaide 500 and deliver a memorable event.
