Great to see consistency with the timing of the event for teams, drivers and spectators.

I think TV is going to be one of the big stories in the lead up to the race. The previous deal was by the previous promoters and it will be interesting to see what the current promoter can put together. If it stays at Ch 7 or swaps to some other provider or platform |

When the event clashed with the V8 test day, the consistent weekend was held as a reason for supercars being mean, But now its a week earlier |

Last few years I have put together some changes Id like to see, Reckon they have got it about right now so now they are not changes, more finessing what they have
More cameras Online Friday coverage Some improvements in dealing with stranded cars, Shaded grandstand on pit straight, that doesnt cost $200 plus I would still like a cut off of around 115% though, that would be a change |

Fantastic news. I will now attend, and I'll even buy you a beer at the track.

Is it true that IPRA is off the support card for the 2018 event?

I love how far off this event is and yet there's a decent discussion months in advance.
If I had money and time.....Alas, I don't, but I do have internets and means to stream! |

What was effectively the 12hr "warm-up event", Challenge Bathurst, looks like losing some shine as a knock-on from CAMS in their latest wisdom of ruining...i mean improving motorsport, with GT3 cars now having been banned from this event.
Organisers are looking to appeal this decision, but I'm not holding out much hope |

Is it about making car owners support the national series as the only opportunity to race? |
