Fine Cotton to win race 1, if it is a wet track.

Race 2 of the maidens handicap will be won by Marcos Ambrose.

Race 3 will be won by Steve Johnson driving a VW Polo.

Race 4 will be won by the safety car.

[Terry S]

let's just hope it doesn't rain there.

It is obvious the race directors can't operate in the rain.

[peckstar]

last year PRA dominated

[chavez]

Can we assume that the taxpayer funded pit area for the V8 supercars will be used for compulsory pitstops or has the Victorian tax payer been asked to cough up for nothing?

They have to work on the cars between races

So do all the other support categories whose races don't have pitstops either

No reason they can't use the paddock area like the other support categories.

Time to write a nicely worded letter to my local MP.

I support the GP but spending taxpayer money on a temporary pit facility for a support to the main event it just unnecessary and a waste.

All the other categories have temporary structures as well

They are set up in tents situated on the grass in amongst all the GA foot traffic. Their pits are not in the 'lane' as the V8 ones are.

So?

[William5]

is Foxtel only televising V8s and Formula 1 at Albert Park? If so, why would you watch Foxtel when Ten will show every support session and more importantly HD coverage.

He didn't say that was all he has to write about. But as a taxpayer, he's entitled to raise matters of what he perceives unnecessary expenditure. 'Look after the cents and the dollars will look after themselves' to misquote someone.

does the pit structure not fund itself with the value add premium tickets for sitting on the roof?

I don't have Foxtel, but, no ads during the actual races?

From memory this wasnt the case last year for the GP, but they showed the races in the corner of screen during the ads

Yeah, they have to do that (the same as with bathurst) as the GP is one of the events on the protected tv sport list thing.

every single session is covered by Ten and yes when Ten goes to an ad so does Foxtel.
