Regardless of rules, there should be a round in every state as a matter of credibility and fairness. The recent Procar round at Symmons by all accounts was just what the doctor ordered. It's not the circuits themselves per se, it's the infrastructure and future planning that can't cope well enough with the demand, but take away a circuit's main motivation for upgrading and improving, then how can any planning take place without something to plan for?
I'm, sorry, but I can't see the relevance of racing in places like China or Bahrain. NZ has produced several top shelf drivers, all of whom are currently racing in the series, and Holden and Ford export to that market so there is no doubt that a race meeting or two are totally justified in that market. The fact that the motor industry in China is expanding greatly is fine, but V8s? I can't think of a more unsuitable market to sell powerful, big capacity cars in a country of it's population vs land size.
