Maybe we could have the Australian Pocket Bike G.P. There seems to be plenty of the bloody things being ridden up and down the footpaths!!!

What is the point of this thread?
Lotus Trophy and Carrera Cup were just a part of the V8 support show, if they are not there, some other categories (maybe with some variety in them ) will fill the gaps to support the V8 meeting. The line-up is the same in 2006 as 2005, and why would you wind up with nothing in 2007, out of the 4 main events you mention only the WRC isn't coming back. |

Are race meetings scheduled that far in advance? You usually get calendars around mid year for the following year. I wouldnt panic just yet.
You say you hate living in WA ... well either get out of there, or get out and go fishing! Youve got great fishing there! |

mabs - if you have doubts, why not do the sensible thing and contact the WA Sporting Car Club at Barbagallo - I'm sure they would be only too pleased to assist you.
One hint though - whatever you do - don't start trying to sell them alternate schedules, timetables etc for every series under the sun. |

the forrest rally is wa round of the ARC. it is usually the first round of the championship held in march. the only thing that rally australia counts for locally is manufactuer points. the wa sporting car club has secured the v8's untill 2009 with various classes coming along with the show. the reason carrera cup is'nt coming to perth is because they boring to watch and there isnt enough room in the paddock due to every man and his dog having transporters. |

Also, what do you mean by "it makes the entry list look good by doing it that way otherwise they are left with around a dozen or so cars competing only". Are you talking about the ARC round or WRC. ARC round has been having around 50 plus entries including WA entrants each year. WRC round has very little entries from Australia now with most the majority of the entries from overseas and certainly has much more than a dozen or so, so I don't know where you got the "dozen or so cars competing" from.!!! Please explain................ |

I was referring to the WRC component of the event.
And apologies - completely forgot about the Forest Rally. |

I put a question mark on the end of Australian SBK and ARC in 2006 because I wasn't sure if they were going to come back to WA in 2006. In 2007 V8 Supercars will almost definatly come back to WA because V8 Supercars is the one and only Motor Racing series in Australia that includes ALL of Australia.

V8Supercars Australia have made it very clear in the past that they only go to the circuits that suit them. They won't go to WA just so they can have a round in every state, they only go places if they are up to their standard, if not, they won't attend.
