Also is it going to be shown on Australian Free TV????

mabs_nsx · 24 Feb 2005, 14:33 (Ref:1234514)

I think an Asian Touring Car Series race is scheduled to race on the Australian round of the Asian Festival Of Speed on September 10-11.

FIL · 28 Feb 2005, 09:55 (Ref:1237886)

does it say anywhere on the site that the race will be in bunbury?

It will take more than a website to make it happen mabs, be prepared to be disappointed & give the mayor of Bunbury a ring because he is in Perth to see West Coast play that weekend.

Evening all I have done a bit of surfing and found something very interesting

go to www.pimm.org and read there news.

It is very interesting!!!

Sandgroper · 19 Mar 2005, 14:35 (Ref:1256006)

Looks great Niv, but with Mr Jane naming rights looks like it may never run the Supercars there. Im sure it would have been a longshot anyway.

When is the Bunbury track due to be completed ???

Also mabs, you should write to the AMRS people and enquire about the chances of having the series visit WA in 2006 and beyond.

I don't want to waste my time because I know that would be very unlikely as this is WA and we are excluded out of everything and not just Motor Racing.
What ever hapened to the Formula Nippon and Super GT coming to WA and what hapened to the Bunbury International Circuit which which is meant to be under construction. I don't think it has even started constuction and don't think it ever will.

2005=WRC+V8 Supercars+AFOS
2006=V8 Supercars

A while ago It said Bunbury,Australia
Now it says Perth,Australia

It will probably be on a street circuit around Bunbury

Falcadore · 17 Apr 2005, 13:30 (Ref:1280365)

If by Bunbury street circuit, you mean moving the event to Hidden Valley, yeah your probly right.

FIL · 2 May 2005, 12:02 (Ref:1291451)

Just a quick note.. the Mighty Mouse competed at the VSCC's Darling Scarp Ascent yesterday... I'm putting some photos online later tonight... and I'll chuck one up here later on too (maybe)

I think you'll find those 'Bunbury' events may have been moved to Hidden Valley or cancelled.

And where did you hear that from???

mabs_nsx · 3 May 2005, 07:42 (Ref:1291805)

24/09/2005 - 25/09/2005, Bunbury International Circuit

FIL · 3 May 2005, 15:55 (Ref:1292120)

Cheers Niv :-)

I'll be there, but not accredited, so I'll be in the members area or wandering around the pits... booked Friday and Monday as annual leave from the day job too... :-)

FIL · 3 May 2005, 16:12 (Ref:1292133)

Here's a sample...

Here's the quick link to the album with the rest of the pics...
http://www.highoctanephotos.com/inde...nails&album=22

The days racing was split up into 3 groups of cars, which gave the drivers a chance to wander up the hill and watch some of the racing, rather than hanging around the pits waiting for their turn... The group the Mighty Mouse was competing in, is in the photos starting on around page 11 of the album...

cavvy · 4 May 2005, 08:20 (Ref:1292628)

Absolutely fabulous.
Thanks FIL, bring it East Dick so I can see it, say Philip Island, wouldnt take a lot of space in Paul Stubbers transporter.
Memo Mark Oastler how about a bit of flyweight muscle!

Can you confirm they have broken ground at Bunbury yet? I remember when QR was built and four months will not be enough if construction hasn't started yet.

FIL · 5 May 2005, 09:48 (Ref:1293519)

Four months isn't really enough time to lay ashpalt and have it cure properly if your resurfacing an existing track... (ie, without any other major earthworks needed beforehand)

Falcadore · 5 May 2005, 11:20 (Ref:1293571)

And then there's the infrastructure, like the access tracks, timing loops, pit area, dummy grid apron, buildings, power, water (drinking and irrigation - not neccessarily the same thing if grey water is available), stormwater, sewerage, gas (if required), telecommunications...

All that assumes the detail design is complete and the track has been modelled and safety approved.

FIL · 5 May 2005, 11:29 (Ref:1293578)

indeed.... i havent heard any news about the new track for a long time, which, is probly a better approach than the one they were taking before, but it may also mean that the projects dead in the water...

mabs_nsx · 6 Jul 2005, 11:13 (Ref:1348668)

http://www.pimm.org/topic18.html

Construction of the Bunbury International Circuit is expected to commence on settlement of the land acquisition by the end of 2005, with the first international motor racing event scheduled for the second half of 2006.

While the track will meet Formula One standards, the focus of PIMM will be on
promoting the leading Asian motorsports series including Formula Nippon, Super GT and the Asian Festival Of Speed (AFOS).

In addition, PIMM will work with all motorsport organisations in Australia to
promote local and national events, and help with growing resurgence in this premier sport.

Asian Festival Of Speed
Australian Rally
World Rally
V8 Supercars
