Jason Whittaker should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
2006 calendar

I'm bored and something's got me curious. The racing rags are yet to pick up on it.

Due to the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne next year the Formula One Grand Prix will move from its March date. AGP supremo Ron Walker is off to FIA headquarters to push for a new one-off April 28-30 date, which he reckons will be the second round of the series after Malaysia. It has to be ratified, but Walker is hopeful.

So beyond the clash of dates with AFL (which will put Channel 10 in a major bind), what of the V8 Supercars' involvement? Surely they can't delay the V8 series so the AGP will still be the traditional pre-season curtain-raiser? So will they interrupt the season proper for a meaningless support event? One week after the Clipsal 500? Are the V8s even booked in at the AGP for next year? What is the contractual situation?

Any thoughts?
