Of course it's on but what is there to comment on - any comments would just be guesses at predictions of results. Once they're on track and actual things start to happen, there may be more commenting (or not).

It's the lull before the storm.
To be honest, there's little to no uncertaintities coming into this season. Drivers are signed, cars are ready... all the Ts are crossed, as are most of the lower case Js. |

Pretty sure Stanaway's sponsor will be MEGA despite PRAs supposed difficulties with them last year. Will be interesting to see the crowd this weekend , last year was down considerably on earlier years. One of Mr Warburton's failures was not managing to lower track admission prices.

Is the Advertiser Adelaide's main newspaper?
If so, well done. |

Note the newspaper didn’t choose past Adelaide 500 winner Mr Percat, or fellow Adeladeians Mr Pye or Mr Slade for the cover... |

Better to have a good news motorsport story on the front page, than the usual sex drugs AFL boofhead footballer piffle dribble.
A lot better than the Barnaby Joyce sex scandal with my female staffer taking up pages! A mate did make a comment yesterday that the Supercars seem to be b,e keeping a low profile on promoting themselves this year- we finally get a article in our local cocky cage liner on Scott McLaughin and Adelaide today! |

A field of 15 for the Audi Sport R8 LMS Cup, including 5 local entrants. How exciting.

5 years since I came down as a flaggie for this. I genuinely hope it goes off without major incident (turn 3, I'm looking at you!) and that everyone - teams, spectators, volunteers - have a cracker of a weekend.
I'm not remotely jealous* *maybe just a bit |

I dont read papers either because for the most part they're like a hard copy version of the cesspool that is news.com.au (I cant remember the last time I picked up a newspaper) but its great to have the category on the front page of any paper these days. Its just good to have the mainstream exposure and even better that its an up and coming rookie like Hazelwood.
