[FV8SC11-R02] Fujitsu Series Barbagallo 29 April-1 May

**GTRMagic** · 27 Mar 2011, 23:15 (Ref:2854572)

Well we have seen one race of the series go by (not on the teev however

) and its time to predict yet another winner for Perth.

Not sure how these cars will go over there, most pilots havent seen the circuit.. the ones that have will have an advantage..

Will the #80 car make the trek to Perth or will PMM require that chassis for Hamilton and beyond?

Otherwise, I would think we wont see which way #80 went...

New Car, New Team, New Driver for Perth

With Hercules moving on, what's left spare in the PMM shed? The Love Machine is Kulwicki. So, is the lost "L" chassis the spare/ride car?

Does VE$A hate the Fujitsu series competitors?

Perth is a massive haul for teams that don't have main game budgets.

Part of the package to get WA Govt funding?

ForumNick · 4 Apr 2011, 08:53 (Ref:2858434)

But the Fujitsu teams won't see any of it !!

peckstar · 4 Apr 2011, 09:51 (Ref:2858466)

Did the Fujitsu teams want to go to WA?

ForumNick · 5 Apr 2011, 04:23 (Ref:2858933)

After sending us to Townsville with no compensation for the added costs!

[sarcasm] Sure... we now also want to go twice that distance... to Perth......[/sarcasm]

driving across the country as opposed to around the corner, and next to no chance of panel damage...

**GTRMagic** · 11 Apr 2011, 03:56 (Ref:2861667)

Just thought I'd mention that the Punters were going too until VESA changed the date.

the best was about mid corner of Turn 1 but that's been setup for corporates over the last 6 years or so.. I normally go near the exit of turn 1. If anyone goes off or any door rubbing happens you will see it and you can see them shoot up the hill. basically from memory the spectator area finishes just as they crest the hill to go to the bottom of the track then starts again probably about 200m from the last turn..

I'll be heading up on the Friday, the traffic etc is too much to go on a saturday or sunday unless you have box tickets, I think anyway

peckstar · 21 Apr 2011, 06:26 (Ref:2867339)

is it worth taking the free train?

Bradley · 21 Apr 2011, 06:54 (Ref:2867354)

dont' know maybe the sat or sun but either way i'd imagine it to be pretty busy those days which ever way you went.

I'll be driving up on the Friday, they have shuttle buses from the parking lots to the track.

michael_a_l · 22 Apr 2011, 07:23 (Ref:2867970)

Im not sure how im getting there on friday or saturday probably get dropped off on the friday(early) catch the free bus train on saturday and going with someone on sunday.Luckily i dont have that far to travel from girrawheen

Definitely.
I did it that way the last time the V8's were there. It is very easy as the bus that goes from the station has it's own way of getting into the circuit so you don't get stuck in the long cues of cars.

New Tourism WA chief Stephanie Buckland has laid out an ambitious blueprint to attract visitors to the State, with more hotel rooms, an international golf tournament, a bigger Busselton airport and direct flights to and from China.

Ms Buckland is also keen to beef up WA's events calendar, with an annual international golf tournament at the top of her wish list.

The V8 circus has a big opportunity to kick some goals !!!

How is the local promotion going?

She is also keen to develop water-based events and explore the possibility of significant food and wine events.

Not too many V8 opportunities at a 'Golf Course' or 'water-based events' (if you don't count 'WET' Rounds) or 'significant food and wine events' (if you don't count the 'Corporate Stands/Boxes')
