[iV8SC15AGP] 2015 Formula 1® Rolex Australian Grand Prix -12-15Mar
2015 marks two decades of Formula 1® at Albert Park. The V8Supercar Championship series stages its second event of the season at the picturesque Melbourne street track. Whilst not racing for championship points, 4x 30 minute races across the weekend should ensure plenty of action, and usually some surprise winners. Anyone who says they dont try at these no-points paying events is probably having a lend... Melbourne Magic... |

I'm with GTR on how hard the drivers try..... and anyway a driver isn't worth his salt if he doesn't try and win a race, no matter whether you get some numbers at the end of it or not.
I don't think there was the opportunity for this year (The end of the Fox Sports telecast today indicated that Fox Sports aren't showing any of the V8s at Albert Park) |

It's usually not a bad turn out for what is essentially a glorified test session. Cars with good chassis setups do well here. So expect the usual suspects (Red Bull Aus, Holden Racing Team, Tekno, Wilson Security-Volvo, Brad Jones Racing) to be up front. IMO, I think DJR Team Penske is going to struggle as their cars are normally good with engine speed, but their chassis setup needs to be desired.
Isn't Super Black and Rod Nash Racing getting X upgrades? |

Australia has been so up & down about rolling starts over the years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVMii-dejQU When we don't have them there are calls to introduce them, then we get them and they are gone within a season. Rolling starts were all the rage in 86 & 87, culminating in Bathurst '88 starting with a roller before they fell out of favour for taking the excitment out of the starts. They came back in again in the early 90s for the Peter Jackson Dash before being dropped again, and then in 2013/early 14 they were the rage again before being dropped for causing too much carnage The more things change the more they stay the same. |

I reckon Australian GP Organisers should do 2 V8 races held at night with the other 2 during the day

They work on ovals but in street circuits they suddenly come into view while half the field is still around the corner or out of position due to the side of the track they are on and then a green flag waves As a spectator the standing start is way more exciting . But less stress on a car with a rolling start however at the GP i really dont care how they do it, maybe they can mix it up Last edited by peckstar; 4 Mar 2015 at 10:21. |

Mel McLaughlin is back this weekend for Ten at Albert Park. All I can say its going to be awesome. Maybe Mel will be used for future use at Ten when all 3 big event motorsports clash
