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. |

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 |
