[VASC17R17R18] Red Rooster SuperSprint, Eastern Creek: 18-20 Aug

Time for Sydney to run its round of the 2017 Virgin Australia Supercar Championship at the world famous Eastern Creek Raceway

It's time to finish the sprint rounds for now, in preparation or the Pirtek Enduro Cup.

You might imagine that the DJRTP cars will continue their outstanding pace and very good tyre life here. And 888 will go away and discover something to get their challengers back on track for championship contention.

No wildcards this round, so the usual 26 suspects (well 25 & a surprise new face..) will be in the garages come Friday practice.

Let's all go out to Eastern Creek, enjoy ourselves and make the event a crowd number and financial success in Australia's biggest population centre.

Brumm Brumm...

Unusual for GTR to miss this. Any particular reason for the out of date branding you have used GTR?

Great to see the event representing Sydney in 2017.

It's still Eastern Creek to the punters

Just Like Calder Park was still Calder Park even when they wanted us to call it "Keilor International Raceway" or "Melbourne International Raceway".... the SMP branding has been a big miss in my opinion.

What sort of crowd is anticipated?

Keilor and International in the same sentence just doesn't sound right

Getting back to GTRs opening for this thread who is prepared to predict a result for next weekend. The SMP Round can be a tricky one to predict sometimes. My feeling is that BJR will be strong at SMP coming off a strong Round at QR and a test day at Winton. Should be a great meeting with F4 , AGT and Super 2 supports.

There were a couple at QR, so it's possible. They were only in the paddock area though.

There was one with a bull bar (can't remember if it was the Triton or the Ranger) which was a little interesting if they plan to run bars in the series.
