You expect similiar crowds for a start-up event in its first year?

That will not be a criteria any reasonable person would use.Obviously the crowds won’t be at current 12 Hour levels in year 1 and they will never get to 1000 levels.If it draws a strong international field it should aim to be at current 12 Hour levels by year 3.
I am pulling for ARG to succeed but see a lot of similarities to Ross Palmer/Procar which is worrying.

No interest from Nine.

Probably no surprise, but at one time they telecast Formula Holden live. 1990?

7 head of Sport has left the building.

Seven's head of sport, Saul Shtein, will exit the business following the conclusion of the current AFL season, which has its grand final next week.

Shtein has been with the network for over 15 years and has been a major part of the network's numerous sporting rights deals over the years.

Who could fund it?

Supercars claim IP infringements by TA2

In a new angle to try and stop TA2 from being at Adelaide, Supercars now claim the TA2 series is encroaching on an IP issue. Seamer says: “It’s a bit hard to talk about IP and commercial discussions with manufacturers. I am not stonewalling you. There is a category that runs Mustangs and Camaros that needs to get their IP approvals.”

BS.

How does the likes of Sports Sedans get by this? Simple; there's no hand out, waiting on money for the privilege.

Auto Action is about two weeks behind in reporting that. Matt Braid is/was apparently not concerned about it.

Until you hear Ford or Holden (or Dodge for that matter) complaining about this, it is entirely fabricated. How does Seamster know that there isnt a deal between Ford and the people that built the TA2 cars?

These TA2 cars have been around for a bit. If Chev/Ford/Dodge had a problem with them then it would’ve happened five seconds after the first car hit the track

Ford is an official partner of the Trans-am Series in North America..........

The dark side of Supercars sadly reveals itself again.

IP approval?

Is that why the (Supercars) Mustang looks the way it does? To avoid this issue?

Are Supercars drivers banned from talking about categories (or some categories) on the ARG programs? Interview with GT after practice today where he said he is not rusty because he has been racing in GT cars "and some other racing".

He knows what side is bread is buttered on. The crew is Supercars TV after all and TCR isn't going to give Garth his next job...
