2006 V8 Supercars Race Calendar

[mabs_nsx]

This is how I think the 2006 Race Calendar should be:
Bunbury International Circuit (WA)
Adelaide Street Circuit (SA)
Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit (VIC)
Eastern Creek International Raceway (NSW)
Pukekohe Park Raceway (New Zealend)
Barbagallo Raceway Wanneroo (WA)
Shanghai International Circuit (China)
Hidden Valley Raceway (NT)
Queensland Raceway (QLD)
Oran Park Raceway (NSW)
Sandown International Raceway (VIC)
Mount Panorama, Bathurst (NSW)
Symmons Plains Raceway (QLD)
Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit (VIC)
Spa-Francorchamps (Belgian)
Gold Coast (QLD)

i take it, thats not in order, and you forgot to add the greatest spectating track (by number) in the world. Somewhere where the Ford vs holden (chev) battle means something Indianappolis

[buza]

add indy to that (as peckstar said) and it would be the best v8championship there ever could be! well at least that's what i think

[racer69]

Didn't the Bunbary owners say they weren't looking to V8s?

Lose Adelaide, Shanghai, Spa and the Gold Coast and the calendar would look pretty good

[peckstar]

there the words of someone who has never been to the clipsal

[racer69]

I'm not saying it's not a good event, but it is still a street race, which benefits no one bar V8Supercars.

[peckstar]

i didnt know it had to
and dosnt benifit the spectators who go, the adelaide community, who receive thousands of tourists, the guys in the lower ranks who competes in front of big crowds, the corporations who promote there brands to there customers. to channel 10 who use this to prop up other less watched races

I am not to woried about Adelaide but why don't you want Shanghai, Spa and the Gold Coast on the calendar, are you crazy

Also add Indianappolis to the races I would like to see on the calendar.

[racer69]

As much as AVESCO and their yes-men want to pump it all up, the series is an Australian Championship. I'd rather run two rounds on local tracks rather than go galavanting to other parts of the world where no one over there will give a stuff (bar the enthusiasts, which apparently don't mean much these days we keep being told)

As for the Gold Coast, i'd be prepared to let that one slide because it is run in conjunction with a major overseas series (hence why i didn't list Albert Park), but our permanent circuits should be given a guernsey before any street race is given a thought.

Totally agree with you on street circuits Racer. Its sad that so many people have been blinded by $$$$ dare I say ego's that they are un aware of the destruction of Aus motorsport or worse they are aware but they just dont care because the taxi's are alright.

But anyways what do you reckon bout my Supercar 2006 calender.

Round 1 Kenya
Round 2 Mexico
Round 3 Russia
Round 4 Bahrain
Round 5 Dubai
Round 6 Japan
Round 7 Venezuela
Round 8 Spain
Round 9 France
ROund 10 Germany
Round 11 India
Round 12 Uzbekistan
Round 13 Greenland

[GTRMagic]

I dont think I can find local drivers to run the media car (yes, there is talk there may be one...) for all those rounds D.R.T

Bathurst is more of a road circuit, rather than a street circuit. And as the infrastructure is in place 24/7, the possibility is there to run more events if deals can be worked out.

My aim was to gain a response that will lead to open discussion, not be argumentitive.

Why are they idiotic ? Are you saying that my proposed calender can't happen ?

As has been stated so many times here, Avesco is a business that aims to make profit, if other promoters or tracks or cities offer enough coin, it wont take Avesco too long to follow them.

I am suprised that no one bite at this GTR, even if it is just the minature version.

[mixxer]

You asked for an opinion on your calender and I gave one.

Now if you don't like it, don't ask for opinions

One thing, if the championship was made any longer than it is now the teams would have a backflip and start crying bout the amount of money they would have to spend etc. A 16 round championship would b nice tho, as long as the indy round is on the road circuit, not the oval. I CANT STAND OVAL RACING

[peckstar]

the oval would be great, ilots of drafting, would really test the drivers and the cars

but is suspect we would need to use the F1 circuit because im not sure the cars would handle the high continious speeds

[Rombles1]

I don't know how things are set up over there, but could you have a race on the oval on the Saturday and one on the F1 circuit on the Sunday?

Understand. I didn't word it well but what I was after was yours and others opinions on 'why' or 'why not' this calender could/couldn't happen , if it was/wasn't a good thing and the benefits/drawbacks it will cause.
