Given the 2006 race had already been cancelled, it reads to me like they have cancelled it going forward too - or am I reading too much into it? No year is mentioned.

Who cancelled who's contract ?
I think China is the one whose dodged the financial bullet in this instance. Makes all of Avescos comments after last years events all the more laughable. I shall seek to find some of those quotes over the next few days. |

When a race loses that amount of money, I dont think it matters what nation or business culture you are working in, the end result is the same.

They were not happy, but they were not going to air their dirty laundry in public where they?

No one will continue to keep throwing money down a black hole. The 2004 event didnt achieve that. The 2005 event didnt achieve that. The writing was on the wall and they couldnt get out there any faster. |

Robert, it wasnt promoting "Modern China" to the world.
The event was not working. You cannot lay the blame on the Chinese here. |

Bottom line, the race wasnt successful.
This international v8 fandom that we are always being told about, didnt show through, atleast in China. You cant spin that otherwise. Bahrain will be interesting to see if the same thing happens there. Two of my favourites after the chinese race last year. http://www.motorsm.com/motorsport/au...5_R5_China.asp Tony Cochrane (Chairman, AVESCO ): "In the same way that the street circuit in Adelaide took the V8 Supercar Championship Series to a new level seven years ago, our expansion into the exciting market of China will yet again raise the bar and expectations of the world's greatest touring car category." Wayne Cattach (CEO, AVESCO): "It is the largest Chinese take-away in Australian history! Seriously, it is a very ambitious project but its very execution opens up the world for our sport. Now we are geared up and ready to travel to any part of the world. For the sport this is an enormous step." |

There being no race in 2006 is evidence of that. Success would have seen an event return, it isnt. Heres another pearler, with the ability of hindsight makes it look a little silly. http://www.v8x.com.au/cms/A_105131/article.html "History is being made yet again by the Championship after the incredible successes of our event in Shanghai in June of this year. To take this Australian sporting product to the world is an outstanding achievement. Our sport is a highly sought after product by these International locations as being of world class standard." |
