Shouldn't have been allowed to race with it in the first place. Bloody obvious what is going on.

With any luck it is thrown out and the naturopath or whatever retard write it up should be prosecuted.

Besides the fact that they will not be allowed to race for the rest of the season under the new Victorian laws they will never be allowed to race in Victoria again.
You'd hope that none of the drivers suffers the "breathing issues" legendary soccer player Sergio Aguero has had during the weekend?

That would not be surprisingly but I heard it might have been the hometown boy.

Could it be both? They are both wing nuts.

Maybe t18 and Grove will fight over Caruso

I am pretty sure the AFL has mandated it.The NRL is just being weak and endangering the health of all players to cater for the anti vax nutters in the playing ranks.
I don’t think the ARDC had a choice, the site as we know is owned by the NSW Government, would have been a bad look to allow non-vaccinated people on site when you are pushing vaccinations.

Supercars statements on the matter have seemed to tread the line of “we want you ti get vaccinated but we don’t want to say you have to get vaccinated”

Is there a confirmed link between vaccination exemptions in Australian Motorsport and a footballer in Europe taken to hospital for cardiac reasons?

Forgive my ignorance but as a follower from the UK having just caught up with last weekend's races, why are there so few spectators at the circuit?

Covid rules will limit where and how many there can be, but other than that I have not seen any crowd numbers. I know plenty who have bought tickets for coming weeks though.

Besides the usual suspects of the decline of car culture overall,the steadily falling crowds at nearly all Supercar races in the last 10 years,the inflated ticket prices with add on charges for things like seats in the grandstand and in circuit parking and lacklustre support programs?
In this particular case you can add 4 weekends in a row of the same series at the same circuit with the final weekend having a far superior format and support program to the first 3.
The Covid crowd restriction of 10,000 was irrelevant.I was there all 3 days and like I posted earlier I counted a total of around 60 people in the 4000 capacity grandstand just before the first Sunday Supercar race.Guaranteed the crowds will be even smaller the next 2 weekends.

While four race meetings on consecutive weekends might have an impact, do we see the same impact when speedways such as PCR run such a busy schedule?

During the Bunnings Time Machine segment which featured Lowndes' first race win in 1996 there was no shortage of spectators in the grandstand or anywhere else for that matter.

Sydney siders will confirm the fact that EC/Sydney Motor Park has always had low volumes of spectators for some reason. I have spent a lot of time in the pits and on the roof during races and looked at that empty grandstand wondering why it is so empty. The sad fact is that car clubs which underpinned interest in racing are largely a thing of the past due to lack of interest.

The Saturday crowd for the 1 night race was double the Sunday crowd for the 2 daytime races.
Week 2 there are 2 night races,week 3 there are no night races and week 4 back to 1 night race.
Regarding the person comparing consecutive speedway weekends to consecutive weekends of Supercars speedway doesn’t charge $100 + grandstand + parking for a weekends racing.
The other comparison to the 1996 crowd just validates my point about the general decline of car culture causing young people to be far less likely to have any interest in motor racing and a very retro themed formula-Holden v Ford V8’s-even more likely to feel this pain.Question-is motor racing becoming the new lawn bowls?

2 night races this weekend! Both Saturday and Sunday are done and dusted before sunset.

Should be called Superday not Supernight.

I think you’ve looked at the wrong weekend.Both Saturday and Sunday have a Supercar race starting around 7.30.It is the following weekend when all races run in daylight.

Adcafe reporting KGR are awaiting advice from NSW Health and that David Reynolds has left the Sydney region.

Now I am going to speculate here but 2 practitioners were caught handing out dodgy exemptions in Victoria last week. I will presume they have left documentation behind.

Not sure about contract duration but you would think this is a cut it up scenario. The risk to the whole circus is great.

If Caruso gets the call and does alright maybe he will have a drive next year, but what are they going to do about Bathurst?

This is brewing as maybe the biggest drama in Supercars for quite a while. Submitting a fraudulently gained document to enter a workplace under false pretences....

He has always had his fringe views and many ask "where is the harm", well if he infected someone and the whole circus was shut down, or worse, someone died.

Isn't that why YOU are vaxxed though? A product so good that 100% of people have to be forced to take it for it to work. Interesting.....

Cut the BS, an unvaccinated person is 20x more likely to infect a vaccinated person than another vaccinated person. It is an unacceptable risk. People who want to do "resurch" via Rumble or Fox News can eat horse paste, **** their pants and go live up trees for all I care or move to Mullumbimby. If they are committed to their beliefs why mingle with all the vaxed people shedding their spike proteins?

So what are you going to do about the unvaxxed people (with genuine medical cert) walking around amongst the vaccinated?
