Were the drivers told that all of the sealed surface on the exit of turn 5 was available for driving on? The lines of cars ignoring not only the white line, but the kerb and driving straight over the back and using the South circuit pit lane road to rejoin the track was pretty disgraceful from our "best" drivers. I think the only car that actually went around the corner as it was designed was the Safety Car.

Not if you pull a corner off it, or belt the rear cradle.

I've never read it anywhere, but I wonder if the rules are free enough to allow some scope for development of the control chassis design, to 1, beef them up in certain areas, and 2, facilitate easier repairs?

Moffat, Tander and Ingall slapped with points penalties.

GRM copped a team penalty for the wheel jettisoned from the #33 car.

Had to have a hearty chuckle at Mr Edwards' view of the Winterbottom/Reynolds/Pye incident.

He seemed to think Winterbottom was hit. Not sure by whom, because the closest car to him was Reynolds. Mostert was at least half a car length back, behind him.

Its a shame TC wasnt successful in acquiring the track all those years ago. V8SC could have based its HQ there, and fixed the traffic & access dramas... And provided 3 very interesting races across the weekend like we just enjoyed.

You are allowed to use that section of road at T5.

Thankfully TC didnt acquire the track - especially after he crowed about how bad the promoter was only to fail in his own promotional attempts on every attempt.

With that in mind - I dont see how he would have fixed any of the dramas you decided to bring up.

As you said, the racing was great and the venue came across very well ontv.

The track could have been packed to the rafters both days and the same people would have found the same things to attack the place about.

Do they not like the track, or just not like the current tennants who seem to be doing a pretty good job running the place the other 51 weeks of the year....

We had BBQ pass. We couldn't get in at the roundabout, had to go back to Hwy and round the world to get into track. Then roundabout was open after the races.
Why was it $50 BBQ pass only and no $25 for 1 day like QLD raceway.
They know how to keep people away from the track.
Typical tennis match again V8s blame ARDC and vice a versa.

I guess it rests with V8s as they hired the place, did the organising/ran the event, set the prices and worked with the State Govt authorities re traffic management.

To park where it has always been free to park previously (just your usual entry cost) or are they putting you on the horse track for $25.

Are you saying there is an additional $25 to park your car in the Park and View areas? I looked on the website and on Ticketek and cannot find any reference to this. If this is true, then a weekend pass has increased by over 50% since last year!

Edit: OK, I found it. Not happy!
