Well Jason, i assume you mean apart from their ability to come on here and tell how things were better in the old days, how V8Sa are doing it wrong and and how parity sucks etc.

shhhhhh! Don't mention Canberra reverse grid. Remember, according to the new ploicy reverse grid is a GOOD THING and all must be impressed by its GOODNESS.

It would however be much more interesting than the one proposed and a fair bit longer. Just by looking at it and from what i can remember that would be at least 5km's long. |

The Townsville layout was 2.3 kms..
Im my view a street circuit needs to be about 3 or 4 kms long |

2.5 K's is a little short. I think they need to aim for something longer if possible.

All that GST money that gets collected in NSW and then is passed on to Queensland is going to be wasted on what?

It won't be wasted. It will go to a very good cause; making V8s the most watched sport in Australia.

I was thinking those "Townie" folks might need some education too. When did Supercar become mono-posto??

I was told recently that an announcement is imminent advising the Taxis will not race at Townsville. Lets wait a day or two and see if my sources were right.

If the QR circuit is lost to the series, the Queensland based teams would not have a current race circuit to test at... and that would arguably put the teams that test at Winton at an advantage 20 rounds are coming.... its just a question of when |
