PA specialises in the toys out of the pram routine and barely takes anything to do it.

I fail to see how Supercars is responsible for a guy who is under contract but wants to go race for another team, and why it should be allowed.

Hell, Betty should have made Will or 888 buy out his contract. Simple as that.

As some have suggested elsewhere, open the seaon at SMP as the Supernight thing.

Give it a short, sharp format over a Saturday. 3 races, soft - I mean Supersoft - tyres, progressive grids, pitstops for minimum 2 tyres. Make the races 30min long, 45min - 1hr in between. Practice and qualy Friday arvo, when the local school kids are there. Top 10 shootout Saturday, then Race 1 late arvo, just before sunset, one in twilight, and the final under full lights.

Oh, and on the short track. Funnel everyone onto the hills at either end of the front straight, and into the grandstand, and it'll be sick. Hire some carnies to blow up some jumping castles and run a ferris wheel, showbags, etc.

Put right before NRL and AFL get going for their seasons, and make sure round 2, is not more than a fortnight away. Make a whole heap of noise about it in the media, and use it to build momentum for the rest of the year.

As much as people think it's boring it did turn in some good racing. Maybe more even now that SVG isn't around with freakish tyre preservation.

Will Canberra make it onto the schedule next season or not far past that?

Mr Hill has his Tyrepower MSR Camaro on shopping centre duty at Majura Park, visiting their Canberra based sponsor SupaGlass, and doing demos on the closed off public roads, and the Canberra Festival of Speed to what has to be said is a fairly decent sized crowd.

Good on MSR for picking up on the opportunity to showcase the local driver, his main game car, and for MSR for allowing it to be the lovely, noisy experience it is.

Canberra comeback for ‘25? Please..

So… if the series starts off at Phillip Island in 2025.. how many V8Supercar pilots will need to jump into any other car available (like Taupo) to see what it’s like, not having used it in what feels like forever…

I love the idea

Goes completely against the “brand” that they’ve pushed for 20 years though doesn’t it?

Perhaps V8Supercar believe the ‘Quinn factor’ will make the joint a sold out event like in Taupo…

I think it would easily sell out with QR as the season opener, but even with the Quinn factor it’s still a pretty standard racetrack and won’t be an “event”

Will it satisfy the corporates as a season opener? Can Tony put lights in?

According to the AA Rev Limiter podcast this week, V8Supercar promoted the Taupo event, despite Mr Quinn’s presence & attendance… wonder if they will do so at ‘Quinnsland Rsceway’?

The expected significant new season new driver/new team/new car brand/new sponsor/new team owners should shake some interest from the great unwashed.. and get some backsides trackside.

Perhaps some thought around the format will improve the show also. Have we given up completely on the idea of running in the reverse direction?

The Shahins want it and they can afford to pay for it.

But will it be entertaining?

For all the money they spent it's no more exciting than QR.

Are they going to run stages, to allow time to send out the sweeper to get rid of the rubber buildup?

Winton and Symmons in the middle of winter? Not doing either venue any favours.

Winton and Symmons in winter, seems like the gifted geniuses running the show don’t understand the concept of winter in the Southern states?

Why are the numbers down, might be due to hypothermia!

Judging by the temps at the Bend today, the 500 might be sub-Antarctic temperatures too as it will likely still be in winter proper..
