Damn, i thought at least we might get the usual ABC or SBS live coverage like the race used to ge in the 80s and 90s (except 87 & 89 when seven didn't have a conflicting golf/tennis/AFL), now we have to wait a week, and 1.5 hours isn't that good either. Then again its better than nothing, good it has a sponser to.

What is the entry like.

Was reading in today's Auto Action that none of the HSV GTS Commodores look like entering and even Bowie might pull out after the Mustang has now had 500rpms taken off of it.

Hehe...now the Mustang wont be able to beat the Ferraris!

And the entry list (mostly TBAs) is on the procar site...
