CAM Waters confesses he has mixed feelings about the Adelaide Street Circuit switch that will take effect next year.<\/p>\n

Waters is one of Supercars\u2019 premier drivers. He has 20 championship races under his belt on the current 3.22km track in the heart of the South Australian capital, three of which he\u2019s either started or finished first.<\/p>\n

The beloved layout is set to be ditched after this November\u2019s bp Adelaide Grand Final in favour of a longer alternative as MotoGP comes to town in 2027, with only minor modifications to be applied before Supercars then utilises the new 4.13km configuration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTearing up one of my favourite racetracks, I absolutely love driving around there, it\u2019s one of the best of the year, so obviously disappointed in that aspect but I can kind of see the other side of it,\u201d Waters told V8 Sleuth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they\u2019re trying to do with MotoGP is going to be amazing for Adelaide and South Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new track has massive shoes to fill for Supercar racing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I\u2019ll just reserve judgement until I\u2019m driving around it. Hopefully it\u2019s as good, if not better, than what we have got now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waters said he was \u201cpretty disappointed\u201d with the first draft of the new layout, but noted subsequent versions have brought considerable improvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t really call it much of a street track; it\u2019s just going to be different,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think you can really compare it to what we have got now, which is such a cool bullring track for Supercar racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"The Supercars version of the new track<\/p>\n

Waters is in the unique position of having a particular appreciation for racing on two wheels, given his cousin Josh is a regular in the Australian Superbike Championship.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, he\u2019ll look to savour one last hurrah on the current Supercars circuit and then hope the iconic event\u2019s new era lives up to the hype.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou kind of have to look forwards sometimes, not backwards,\u201d said Waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully it\u2019s a good thing as a whole and hopefully we can come up with a good compromise for a good Supercar track.\u201d<\/p>\n
