 However, circuit owner John Tetley insists that the track is still safe.TeamVodafone driver Craig Lowndes suggested that Queensland Raceway is long overdue for upgrades including a resurfacing.Tetley stated that resurfacing would be done in late 2010, although major flooding in the south-east Queensland region early in 2011, and the subsequent lack of availability of necessary equipment as devastated roads are repaired has seen that resurfacing delayed for twelve months.
