SOUTH Australia will be the “motorsport capital” of the nation after a $7.5 million investment in Tailem Bend’s SA Motorsport Park.

The Federal Government says the project will create 350 jobs during construction, and 25 jobs after.

The park is the vision of Peregrine Corporation director Sam Shahin and will include a hotel, accommodation and restaurants.

Assistant Infrastructure Minister Jamie Briggs said the Government was “committed to strengthening regions across Australia by investing in projects to build or upgrade vital infrastructure”.

Today Mr Briggs also announced $16.5 million to fix black spots in SA.
