Must admit I am very disappointed - Watching a bunch of 'stars' from other categories co-drive in the same cars we can see at any other circuit in Australia is of no real interest to me & this event has now definitely become a TV only event for me despite being my local round.
I would absolutely have gone to see the GT2 / GT3 cars though and from a economic point of view the class certainly draws a good socio economic group of competitors & followers. I'm sure the benefits, both immediate & ongoing, would have been far greater with this class added to the mix than what is currently planned.
This event has been plagued by incredibly bad management almost from the start & is a perfect example of why we do need competent, inbiased professional management running it. Politician's should stick to kissing babies & putting taxes / rates up whilst giving themselves unrealistic & totally unwarranted massive pay rises (that's what they seem to be good at anyway !!!) & leave sports event management to the professional's.
By the way, has everyone registered on the 'place to race' petition re replacing some of the circuit's that have and are currently being closed in SE Queensland ? We need everyone's support here too..... If you havnt yet registered go to www.placetorace.com.au & register now - THANX
