[V8SC10R19&20] Armor All Gold Coast 600 (Merged x2)

[Oldtony]

Fascinated that there is as yet no response on this forum to the Official Launch of the Gold Coast 600.
Big PR night, lot of local hoopla, announcement of the visiting drivers and the bands for the Broadwater Parklands Rockfest, and Tony telling us that this is going to be the greatest Touring Car Race ever.
Locally it has recieved good coverage in the Gold Coast Bulletin, who are on board to deliver "free passes" to kids accompanied by an adult and various competitions. Bit of coverage on the local TV news.
Big fuss made about Jaques Villeneuve not being at the opening because of the aviation ash crisis, and pre recorded video interviews with Will Power and Ryan Briscoe.
After all this fuss at the local level has there been any coverage at all outside the local area? I notice the Australian came up with a reprint of a PR release saying "bare boobs banned" but no other coverage. Did it get any mileage at all away from the Gold Coast.
Given the Health debate and the Storm storm it is understandable I suppose, but you would think it would get some coverage, and some interest, in a forum like this one.
