Wasn't Sandown in strife a few years ago for 'OHS compliance' issues? I can't remember, did they actually run there that year?
I remember when China fell over and Winton stepped up and ran a 2nd round in the same season |

think it Was PI (2009) that doubled up on. 2 day race, little support categories, minimal crowd |

Obviously they should use a track they dont use in order to not run twice at the same location. The Eastern Creek long circuit 500 it shall be.

Why is there an assumption that Tailem Bend would get the 500? How would the Adelaide 500 organisers feel?
Does there even need to be a two-driver 500km race these days? Last edited by one five five; 2 May 2018 at 08:54. |

Can't see the Sandown 500 not going ahead, better get along to the Shannons Nationals Round next week though.

Thank you.
Those letters are also used for rather expansive sportscar team. And anyway, I still just call the Canadian track Mosport, rather than CTMP. |
