This leads to the question of where gets the chop.I suspect Winton or QR.I understand that Eastern Creek is part of the Newcastle contract as it was with the second Homebush contract.Personally doubt the OS round will happen but somewhere will probably have to go.

But if that's me being narrow minded then so be it. meh !

So you never used to get excited about Sandown or Bathurst?

Surely good racing is what matters, not whether they get given numbers at the end of it or not?

Not sure QR will go, all Queensland tracks were signed for another term 3-5 years or something. Winton has been renewed too hasn't it

Previously QR was part of the overall Townsville/Gold Coast deal.I didn't think it was this time.Given that Supercars run the meeting they could pull the pin at any time.I thought Winton had been year to year for a while now.Not sure where else is a possibility.We could all be pleasantly surprised and they might just run an extra round but I don't think so.

Yep I most definitely do but the AGP Races arnt a patch on Bathurst or Sandown. AGP racing is a boring as batsh*t (to me) But yep that's my narrow mindedness I guess

If Mr Carey & friends choose 25 F1 races next season, it could easily happen.

Possibly both. FIA calendar wont be formally ratified til November or something, but an interim one will likely be out after the summer (winter) break. Or that's how it was with Mr E at the helm. It's all different now...

Saw a mention somewhere that AGP want to return to the Moomba weekend date. Having the Adelaide race after that makes sense from a weather point of view and I seem to recall that was how the calendar worked for a few years back in the day.

More in this article about how the F1 calendar is going to be done. With discussions across more parties going on, it may slow the process down but likely to be a better outcome (hopefully).

I was lead to believe that the Adelaide 500 was contracted to be
the first Supercar event of the year.

I believe the same thing (or at least that it is contracted to be the first round of the series) so clearly some renegotiation would be needed to deliver the suggested change - both in regard to no longer being first round of the series and the change to a late March date, will depend on what the SA govt want.

I recall something about that also, and wonder if it is Clipsal's contract that created that, not VASA & the SA Government...

The contract would be between VASA / SA Govt or between VASA / SAMSB (Sth Aust Motor Sports Board). Clipsal wouldn't have any contract with VASA, just a contract with the event as naming rights sponsor.

Isn't Clipsal out of the equation next year anyway? Opportune time for a change if there is one to be made.
