peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Lads. Really dont care about your opinion of me. But thank you for caring enough about me to post

But what i am interested in is - that the driver penalty system used at Clipsal is poor for spectators.

Now obviously the drivers who benefited from it dont care because they got to spray champagne because of it and crowds just mean they can claim a tax write off, but if you spectated you should care because you got ripped off.

As i have claimed, many times, I understand why they do it, doesnt change that it is poor for spectators

Its good news that they have changed the system for the GP because as spectators we get to watch Gt3 racing in Australia and the best combinations of drivers, teams and cars should win

Different series have different rules to even up the competition, even Supercars.

No point picking on just AGT's rules in this department

BMW Team SRM will field two BMW M6 GT3s for the remainder of the 2017 Australian GT and Australian Endurance Championships.

Danny Stutterd will run under the BMW Team SRM banner from next weekend’s Australian GT round at Albert Park onwards, taking over the BMW M6 GT3 raced by Mark Skaife, Russell Ingall, Tony Longhurst, and Timo Glock at the Bathurst 12 Hour earlier this year.

The experienced GT and endurance driver will compete without a co-driver at the short-distance rounds, giving BMW Team SRM both a Pro-Am and a solo entry.

Damn, I wish they would do live streaming as an alternative, but I guess there may be rights issues with being at the AGP - but it should be a rights-refusal, if Ten don't broadcast, then AGT can stream....

lack of coverage really doesnt make sense

But that's what the series management wants

Not sure how much success Channel 10 / Australian GT would get in taking on FOM/Liberty about streaming at their events.

Remember the troubles Ross Palmer had trying to film Procar at Clipsal in 2004.

I think live midday coverage on Saturday is pretty decent for AGT without kicking the tin for more coverage.

Lucky to be getting the Saturday race covered

All Ten care about at the GP is F1 and crossing back to the Qantas lounge. All the V8 races get shown but it's not with same "oomph" as usual.

One five five, I hate it when I agree with you but the amount of time spent with the latest bachelor cook wedding idiot melts what is left of my brain. Then a race starts and 2 laps in they cut to an ad.

Friday the telecast starts at 10.30 and GT at 10.45.First on track action they are showing is F1 P1 at 12.You would think 25 minutes of GT would be better then at least some of that 90 minutes of filler.

Even more pathetic from 10.On Sunday the telecast starts at 10 and the first on track action they show is at 1.05.So they have 3 hours of filler and can't find the time to show 25 minutes of GT racing.
They are hardly reflecting what people want to see when they put on 3 Carrera Cup races yet only 1 GT race.I know there are other commercial factors at play here but still.
Glad I will be at Albert Park for 4 days and not relying on tv.
