Why not release 2 x RECs to the market.
Its seems as if there isnt enough to go around now. 28 car fields would be good, however is there enough financial capacity to support 2 more ? |

The demand seems to be there.
LDM/PMR will want to retain their two. Britek, who knows? JRR/MSR want one. PRA want one. |

The other area that comes up is sponsorship. Hark back to the early days of AVESCO, the cameras only looked at the first, (five cars in a race-race leaders,), sponsors want to see there names on Tv. Some will say, well get a good package and you will be up front. Sponsorship dollars are harder to come by for a small place like Aust. Four national football codes . Coverage from Feb to October, and summer for Soccer Tennis, Golf , Netball, Basketball, Horse Racing and more. Coverage on Thursday, Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday, plus midweek events . In the media week in week out nearly the whole year Motorsport : No state Championship Coverage, Rally's , nothing Bikes, only Philip Island GP Supercars Speedcafe and forums Yes we have speedweek on SBS, but no where near the coverage of the other sports. So if you owned a large Australia Business, where would put your advertising dollars, 28 cars chasing sponsors dollars is a big ask for a small market |

Other category's put on great racing, but Supercars , is either pit stop or divebomb for a pass, When he raced in V8' Supercars, John Bowe , when in the lead, had the widest car going. Winton, Symonds,Barbagalo, Hidden valley, Qld Raceway, may have 32 grid spots, doesn't mean racing is that flash |

The wildcards have shown that throwing a couple of extra cars into the mix, spices things up a little down the back.

The income stream is impacted however. The pie is the same size but everybody’s piece becomes just that little bit smaller... |

I guess we'll have to wait and see in 12 months time what the incoming CEO has been able to achieve.

Scott Pye says he is safe where he is for next year
Sacked before Newcastle? Certainly a few eye brow raising quotes in that story |
