[iV8SC13R01R02] Clipsal 500, Adelaide: 28 Feb-3 Mar

Then was not the time... now is the time...

... to see some real action.. racing...

... Ford, Holden, Mercedes & Nissan...

Big brands, big budgets, big drivers, big egos...

Who's gunna win?

For me... hard to go past #1..

Yep, I am more excieted about this season then the last few.

I am hoping to see a few different names at the top of the timesheets for a change but still wont discount T88 (or are they officially RBR now?)

Fabian Coulthard my pick for an upset !

I'll be getting my first up-close-and-personal V8SC experience at this one, as a flaggie on T14. To say I'm a bit excited would be understating things a bit
Please come say hi if you find yourself near the pit straight grandstand. I'm point 14.4 next to grid row 9 or thereabouts. I'll be the short sunburnt Brit!
I can't make my mind up on who/what team to support so I'm going with the entire event. Yeah, that's a cop-out...

One of the big three (Triple Eight, FPR, HRT) will get up, I reckon.

I can't see a Nissan or Mercedes Benz finishing too strongly.

You're lucky. I was told I had to choose between Ford and Holden. Since I drive a Beemer I found that a difficult task!

Have a wonderful time, you'll love it.

I love FPR's paint scheme. Therefore, I'm going with them to win. It's not a long shot since they won Race 2 there last year.

I think Maro Engel will surprise us all with a top 10.

Noticing two things in the Supp Regs
1 No double file re-starts for this event
2. Cars are coming out onto the track 15 minutes earlier than normal for the first race only. I'm assuming some Pomp and ceremony will occur, Maybe COTF stuff, anyone know anything?

Also turn 8, anyone aware of any changes this year?

and TV coverage on Saturday in Vic is from 1 to 6 on ch 7 (including v8xtra)
assume Sunday is similar
