Well, that's the stupidest thing I've read all day.
*Sydney Motorsport Park was a huge success, why drop it? Feels like Supercars just don't like SMP/Eastern Creek.
*Barbagello for a night race!? If they race at night time (say 7pm local time) that's about 10pm on the east coast where the majority of the audience is. Most of said audience would either be in bed or out partying. Seems ridiculous. Either Darwin or Queensland Raceway would be much better.
*Sandown 500 for the penultimate round/event!? With the Championship pushing a retro themed event to honour the traditions of Australian motorsport, seems crazy to move it from it's usual date and lead up to Bathurst feel. Plus teams use this not only as it's own event but as a dry run for Bathurst.
That being said, even though I never liked the fact that the Gold Coast race became a two-driver per car event, interesting to see that they've changed it into a 500km single race. (Although I think it would be cool to see it revert back to a SuperStreet style event and sharing it this time with Formula E with one race during the day and the other race during the night. The track looks nice under lights.
Kinda don't want to say this but Supercars has finally lost it's plot.
