Interesting there's no Eastern Creek round. Am wondering if V8s reckon there's a hope of saving Homebush.

Look at that, only one round in the middle of winter in Victoria, and it's Winton..... but I must say that Phillip Island in November is much better than May. Please keep it in November all the time!!

This is the one that if I was a car owner I would be worried about.
Not only is the Gold Coast a proven car wrecker I am betting there are not going to be many of the teams with a spare chassis available for substitution. That is if they could build it in a couple of days while the aircraft sits on the ground and waits.

something similar to QLD teams between Symmons and Sandown(?) a couple of years ago, was only one week from memory, and DJR shacked up somewhere in Melbourne between rounds. Would assume that both the planes will be sitting at the south end of Brissy airport for loading the Abu Dhabi gear, rather than one being at Avalon.

However, do bent cars fit in the transport containers?

eduardo1 · 15 Oct 2012, 06:51 (Ref:3152018)

Agree - from GC to Abu Dhabi back-to-back is optimistic. I wonder if they'll have mechanics in the cargo hold rebuilding cars.

Even tougher on the Victorian teams - how many spares are they going to have haul up.

peckstar · 15 Oct 2012, 06:58 (Ref:3152021)

tassie to Auckland is also Back to Back

and Perth to Texas is less than two weeks

The calender is a bit all over the place

That being said Clipsal plans are well on the way (Bathurst 12 hour is not on the plans for 2013)

FAS33 · 15 Oct 2012, 07:04 (Ref:3152022)

Texas to Hidden Valley is almost a month yikes!

July 5-7 is where it's at.

Yeh I thinking doing Townsville this year after Darwin last year and the GP & Bathurst and Syd this year, never being to Townsville.

**GTRMagic** · 15 Oct 2012, 08:47 (Ref:3152049)

At least the test day will be open to the public.

The mob at Eastern Creek told the world on Facebook that the FPR CotF test would be open to the public. Except it wasnt, and they had to recant. Not that anyone was at the gate to stop people coming in

God i'm hoping this happens. They actually take motorsport seriously.

Seems like it'd be good to be a 3 car team (HRT) as they'd have room for a spare car and parts, as opposed to FPR, who would have 4 single cars and their parts in their 2 BDoubles.

it's good up here bar the crappy weather we had this year, it poured down after the Sunday race. but mostly pretty good viewing around the track, and the grid girls are hotter here lol.

Umai Naa · 15 Oct 2012, 10:38 (Ref:3152111)

Those FPR B-doubles probably have the capacity to hold three cars, though.

Plus, there's no reason why some of the single car teams can't rent out some space in their transporter for other teams.

Um, wouldn't that mean the HRT Bdoubles would aswell?

My point was, the capacity is basically one whole extra car for cars running 2 Bdoubles across 3 cars, oppossed to KR and FPR who will be using 2 Bdoulbes across 4 cars.

FAS33 · 15 Oct 2012, 10:59 (Ref:3152119)

I thought the transporters can only hold 2 cars each

They can.

But Walkinshaw racing have a bdouble for the 2 HRT cars, and another Bdouble for the single Supercheap car

I'm not sure if you're fishing for an argument or not, so I'll proceed with caution.

I was only using FPR as an example, since FPR were mentioned.

As far as I'm aware, most teams' B trailers will hold up to 3 cars. Another thing to factor in, is that some of the teams on occasion, will carry an extra car for their DVS activities.

It will get to a point, much like speedway, where teams may carry a plumbed and wired but otherwise bare chassis buried up the front of the trailer, just in case.

Not fishing for an argument, just not sure how you missed my point.

3 car teams have more capacity than teams who have 4 (FPR and HRT both run a dev series car, although i think i read that HRT aren't running one next year)

plenty of space in Rusty's truck then..

my question is, is how the hell do they replace the badly damaged cars for the next race to happen the day after??
