See the annual push for the AGP supports to become a championship round is on again. With Bernie having left the F1 building, a new owner to try and persuade. http://www.speedcafe.com/2017/03/18/...ionship-round/
Probably the usual threats to not renew, yet given it is probably the biggest motorsport event in Oz from a corporate hospitality standpoint, V8SC will take what they are given. |

Being 10 minute sessions means most drivers will only get one flying lap!

In the 30 minute sessions last year, most cars did 9-10 laps. I'm hearing you on the shortness of the sessions, 10 minutes is not much at all but seems like a stretch to suggest only 1 flying lap as the likely outcome. |

So is Taz , having a four day break from demolition, or is a F1 friday/test driver going to have a crack at a V8?

Money, enthusiasm, and the correct license will be the detirmining factors.

The enthusiasm element is what saw the well-funded individuals such as Mr Pither, and Mr Heimgartner pursue other options.

BJR have supported a number of different initiatives over the years, including Genes for Jeans and the like.
If this has people talking about the issue.. awesome! If this helps BJR into a new commercial naming rights partner for #8 for the balance of the season.. also awesome! |

I wasn't being cynical - any initiative like this is good, and has the potential to polarise fans and sponsors alike - definitely a divisive issue so I applaud BJR for doing it.
The thing to understand however is that this only happens in any commercial business for socio-economic reasons. |

Be interesting to see how that looks - also interesting that it seems Monster has split with Courtney.

Imagine how the individual who faces inequality, discrimination and some of the so called 'humor' displayed in this thread on a daily basis would feel reading your post? I am sure some of them don't need or want inequality forced upon them at every turn - but yet it happens. Whats the more important sacrifice here? |

Lol It is concerning that BJR haven't found a season sponsor for last years Clipsal winner. If they had a plan in place where it was a revolving canvas through out the year then so be it but it seems like only option at the moment as opposed to a pre season plan with sponsors in place. So we had P Wagen, will this be called the Rainbow Warrior? |
