Sorry Mr Stone, Johnson, Dane, Howard, Morris, Larkham, etc, etc - do ALL your testing at Eastern Creek - it's just not worth it for QR any more. And with TEGA cutting test days again next year - test day income is even less to the permanent circuits.

Without a V8 Round run under CAMS, there goes another nail in the CAMS Coffin outside the gates of QR. Come on down AASA. Tear up that 2006 track licence application Mr Nethercote.

Hope TC has upgraded his plans this week-end, the anti-AVESCO sentiment in the crowd will be huge. I can see the banners now - pity we won't see them on the home of motorsport. Bet we don't see TC on the balcony of the AVESCO Suite or on the podium either.

Why would they need a new test track? Testing at Winton has continued despite the fact the Winton no longer holds a V8Supercar round when Phillip Island does.

In fact Mallala is still in use as well for testing. Only two of the present four circuits used for testing have V8 rounds.
