Could it be a tribute to the factory sponsorship they once had?

When does the long, drawn out gabfest on how the circuit safety should be improved start...I have a new comfy chair so I'm all set
Any more news on the proposed short track at the bottom of the mountain? |

What is not okay are the regulations that allow drivers to drive at unabated speed under safety car conditions around a circuit with limited lines of sight. Utter madness. |

The tender for design of the circuit has been awarded to apex - was announced a couple of months or so ago. |

This year we remember the passing of Robert " Bob " Jane
Bob won the last at Philip Island and the First at Bathurst. Bob put racing on the map, as a young bloke, Calder Park was home during the late seventies, and in the early 80's I was a the second Nascar event at Thunder Dome. Just watch Brockies tribute, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78V1BB3qjjY hope Bob gets the same .introduced to Bathurst as the Armstrong 500 (500 miles long), the event was won by Harry Firth and Bob Jane in a Ford Cortina GT. Hope they give Bob, and Harry the same recognition Won the last at Philip Island , won the first at Bathurst |

Bob injected a significant amount of money into the event over the years.

It's been a serious drought but rain will help although it may not fully break the drought. It's the benefit that motorsport often brings to drought-impacted areas, schedule a race at a circuit in a drought area and sure enough it often then rains on the scheduled race meeting!

Blessing in disguise that I didn't go this year, especially main reason why I didn't go was due to a very bad lung infection. (which was brought on by flu)
Anyway, safe bet that Sunday will mostly be very wet until the last few laps which means teams will be extra cautious on race day causing the viewing to be a little stale at said start of the race? |
