You only have to see that their GT team put Mr Hakkinen in the SLS in China when the capable, and known, Jack Le Brocq was there as part of the oily bit bothering crowd...

Brand names provide credibility... but not always on track outcomes...

It hasnt been stated anywhere, other than here, and whoever else borrows the thoughts to generate a pseudo news story.

The last time Mr Brabham was at Indy...

Did some one in the team slip up here when they released the media announcement.

Thompson will also join Slade for the GC600

This year Thompson will also join Slade for the GC600, an event he is very experienced at and has contested many times.

No risk there then

Q re Gold Coast

Anyone know what restrictions on food & water are in place for the Gold Coast event?

I know I can't bring in alcohol, but I'll be damned if I'll pay their prices for food & water.


Some googling has revealed nothing.

Thanks in advance for all responses.

terms and conditions
you can take whatever you want regarding food and drink, except for glass

In the past i have found Gold coast to be quite good with food and drink because there were genuine shops within the circuit, Im not sure if this is still the case though.

Oooh, Frosty a bit miffed that Roland did not personally congratulate him at Bathurst.

I wonder how many times over the last 5 years Frosty has gone up to congratulate Roland. He's had plenty of opportunities.
