Business SA chief executive and former Adelaide lord mayor Martin Haese said the city would need a new event to maintain economic growth. Australian Hotels Association SA chief executive Ian Horne, who also sits on the SATC board, said the cancellation would have a "multi-million-dollar impact" on the accommodation sector but its importance had been declining since it was first run in He hoped for more funding for other events to be announced in next month's State Budget.
Mark Skaife, who is still involved with the competition, said the State Government had asked to move the event to the end of the year and organisers had agreed, so it was a surprise to hear it was being cancelled altogether. We love it," the five-time champion said. Supercars driver and Adelaide race winner Nick Percat said the Premier's reasons for scrapping the event did not stack up, saying hot weather had kept fans away in Opposition Leader Peter Malinauskas said "cultural elitism" was behind the decision.
He said that, according to the Government's own figures, the race created full-time jobs and filled 90, "accommodation nights". The Premier's electorate is in the eastern suburbs, the area where residents are affected the most because of road closures caused by the race.
He said there was no reason for Supercars to be surprised since the Government had raised the issue of viability since it was elected in He said the Bend Motorsport Park, at Tailem Bend , about kilometres south-east of Adelaide, was "an amazing piece of infrastructure" that would continue to host Supercars races for local fans. He said the cost of building grandstands in the Adelaide Parklands was a "major risk" during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Bend out of the loop for Adelaide as Supercar race is postponed. Nearly a fortnight ago the motorsport community — not just in Australia, but internationally — was shocked to hear that an Adelaide City Council member was supporting the idea of ripping up the 1.
The comments were met with huge criticism from South Australians as well as passionate motorsport fans. At an Adelaide City Council meeting this notion was overturned with the council now investigating the option to make it a national heritage site, making significant note of the Senna Chicane, named after the late three-time Formula 1 champion. Malinauskas confirmed to AA that in the end logic prevailed and is relieved that his plans to bring back the event will not be scuppered in this way.
Since announcing his intention to bring the Adelaide back from the dead, he has been dealt a few hurdles, including the Liberal Government selling a large portion of the infrastructure such as the stands and bridges. Recently, construction has begun on the Victoria Park wetlands project south of the final turn on the circuit.
