Obviously they should use a track they dont use in order to not run twice at the same location. The Eastern Creek long circuit 500 it shall be.

I think they did sometime in the '00s.

Besides the early '90s Triple Challenge events.

In 2004 (april it ****ed down big time) there was a sprint round in March / April and the grande finale in December. Maybe 03 as well but not sure, i was 3 yrs old then, 12 months makes a big difference

Mt Panorama: 24.8.2018
Newcastle: 16.10.2020
Phillip Island: 9.11.2018
Queensland Raceway: 22.7.2021

Can't see the Sandown 500 not going ahead, better get along to the Shannons Nationals Round next week though.

Thank you.

Those letters are also used for rather expansive sportscar team.

And anyway, I still just call the Canadian track Mosport, rather than CTMP.
