Nothing unusual about that I don't think. Those three all attract the kind of people that only watch it once a year for the social bandwagon aspect.

So its the top 3 single events. How often do you have a Melbourne Cup? How often is the Australian Open? Once a year. The V8 Supercars go for well over 9 months. That website doesn't look all the respectable/reliable.

Chatters it is a very good and reliable source.
Not exactly sure why they are reporting on Australia though, considering the GP wasnt in there. |

How long does the Melbourne Cup last again? 3 minutes? Obviously they haven't done the maths.

It seems like a pretty bold sweeping statement, there's no clarification or qualification there. Rather meaningless without context.

Depends which one you're talking about... Rydell and Gentleman Jim in ST, Richo Jr. and Brighty in V8s.
