sorry but it's just not a simple exercise, and not the reason I'm at the event. 50 other things I have to worry about before this. we had posters, signed 250 of them and spoke to the public on Saturday and left another 250 on the table for people to take. that's about as good as I can do. |

Great to see the punters in a huge variety of gear for all types of teams. All that said - I think Nissan did pretty damn good out of merch sales over the weekend. Will do better again in 2016. Craft Bamboo have stated their intentions to return in 2016 as well which is great for the event. |

speaking of merchandise..what do you think about a little stall, selling team shirts not just from the 12 hour but from other endurance racing events? car models? etc??? 24 hour le mans have a few set up around the place and they do well...i know its no where near the scale in terms of crowd figures but somthing small and simple might work

100 shirts to X shirts. If you are worried about changing things up (like a new car...) make it generic. The stand / stall does not have to be manned all weekend, a few hours here and there and it is not as if people are expecting the team owner / driver to be the one selling the tshirt (but it would be kind of cool and add to the experience)
If it was to be done properly, a few teams would get together and either have a volunteer or pay someone to look after a stand for the weekend. That stand would sell merchandise from the teams that agreed to cover the cost of be it buying a Bunnings table or renting a stall. Hell it could be done out the front of a shipping container. Nothing wrong with cash only if you wanted to keep it simple. Year in year out people including myself are left disappointed with the merchandise. Year in year out you see people buying Nismo or old Gary Rogers crap as that is all that is available. There is a market there. Bentley would of made a killing over the weekend if they had brought some shirts / merchandise with them. Quote:

Sigh...poor Bentley. What a shocking end to the race for all three cars.
While we are on the topic, big thanks to all the teams who offered posters at the back of the pits. It really makes a difference and I love having these cars displayed in my garage. TFM signed some posters for us and gained a couple of fans. Thanks guys! Very pleased to have the scudd Lambo on my wall as well. |

The photo I saw, taken at an angle, looked VERY close, but that may have been misleading. Race control should have been watching, and in a great position to make the call, so I presume it was 'close, but no overlap'. |

By the way, the natsoft views are 6:1, in favour of the 12hr, compared to Supercars .... 64,000 to 11,000

This spectator video shows what was missed on the broadcast, of the last lap, last corner. |

Is that a bump and run, push to pass or just smash out of the way ? |

My thoughts on the event after going for four days:
- I love the atmosphere of the event, to me it's like the MotoGP, no BS marque rivalry but just fans there to watch and enjoy a race. - Thursday night is a MUST do. Amazing access to the cars and teams. - It's bloody HOT! Although not as bad as last year it's definitely a factor. I so wish this was the event in April. - Shade is a premium, so a big shoutout to the bloke from Rydges who kicked families off the lawn of the hotel (well away from the rooms) and back into the sun. Douche.... - I think the event needs to prune out some of the slower cars. - Haven't been a fan of the support categories for last few years outside of IP. - The crowds were noticeably bigger this year but far from unbearable. I didn't see many (any?) bogans. - Safety Cars wrecked the flow of the race. - Catch fencing has wrecked a lot of good photo ops but also made me go find some newer ones. - Both my 6 year old son and I cant wait for next year! |
