AN audacious bid to bring the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix to Sydney and possibly race it across the Harbour Bridge will be launched by a re-elected Baird government.
Premier Mike Baird will today announce that, if re-elected on March 28, work would start on taking the Grand Prix off Melbourne.
Mr Baird would establish a bid team featuring Rod McGeoch, who led Sydney’s successful 2000 Olympics bid, and former News Corp CEO John Hartigan, the chairman of Destination NSW. The team would report to government by the end of the year on the economics of the race.
