Shall be interesting to see this event/round as points paying rather than a glorified test session. Wouldn't bet against seeing some more panels rubbed in the name of points rather than teams and drivers babying their rides

Did we see any difference when the AGP support races for touring cars were points paying?

Most of the crowd will be on their way home by the time the twilight races happen.

With the 25 lappers being ~135km, will we see the need for pitstops?

Anyone who was "babying their rides" for the sole reason they wouldn't get given any points at the end of the race, isn't likely to be near the front of the field anyway
The racing drivers were in there having a crack because they wanted to win a race, not win points.
The fact the races count for "Virgin Australia Supercar Championship" points is neither here nor there for me, it baffles me it was ever beaten up into such an issue.

For those Superview users, is it confirmed that the races will be streamed on the site? In the past, Aus GP weekend was not part of Superview but the with it being a points round the site countdown seems to indicate they will be.
