Supercars community reacts to Adelaide 500 demise

The Supercars community has been left reeling after the South Australian Tourism Commission announced the axing of the Adelaide 500.

Very sad to wake up to news of the Adelaide 500 getting axed. One of best events of the year. Some awesome memories over the years there. Made my debut, dropped an f bomb on live TV and won twice, made even better by the thousands of fans that would cheer you on each day! Sad 😢

The reason I wanted to be a supercar driver was because of the @adelaide500 ….. F U to the idiot who made this decision.

To the fans who have packed in the #adelaide500 for 21 years, you are the reason this event has become so special for so many.

If we've taken our last chequered flag at this world-class event, we thank you for being such an important part of the journey 💔 #VASC pic.twitter.com/xWrwIsXkE0

Real shame there won’t be another Adelaide 500. Always one of the best races and ways to start the season. Always loved that track

Such a terrible shame to hear the news that the Adelaide 500 is no more. World class event for over 20 years. I’d imagine the SA govt will only realise what they had after it’s gone. Feel for those that poured their heart & soul into it for all those years.

Adelaide 500 was one of the best races and podiums! Sad to see it no longer be part of the calendar. #VASC
