Falcadore should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Several V8Supercar events are two day telecasts now, for example Canberra, Adelaide & Bathurst. Those event's will be compromised by a clash with AFL Saturday (except Bathurst). There is to be no preferential treatment state by state for the two 'Rugby Leauge' states. AFL will get preferential treatment over every other sport in the country with the possible exception of Cricket. The sooner Tony Cochrane and AVESCO swallow this, the sooner they can move on and make progress.

Gomick: there is presently no facility to telelcast V8Supercar live, and to do so would be a backward step. Global Television do an excellent job telecasting the event for Ch10 as it is. Even if there was the ability to broadcast live at every round, that would cause massive disruption to the support categories at each race meeting, and would also reduce to non-existant the chances of damaged V8's making the grids of later races at the same event.
