I guess I missed where this race has a contract all the way through 2032.  The announcers said it during the broadcast.  I had to look it up.  I guess it was approved in the beginning of 2023?

Quote from: skaifeman on November 21, 2023, 09:06:08 AMSVG looked like a bull who saw red around Adelaide last year - to his own detriment.

Well, if history holds true, with my V8 Central Fantasy League team roster moves, Chaz and Broc will dominate, skaifeman.

You called it! 

The final round in Adelaide is approaching, gentlemen.  You have a couple of days to tweak your rosters one last time.  Give it a go!

Quote from: skaifeman on November 16, 2023, 07:02:38 PMDoes Tim Edwards slot in for Burgess next year as Head of Motorsport?

1 championship and 2 Bathurst wins in 15yrs or so at Tickford? Slim pickings if so. HoM should be someone like Jeromy Moore

I have seen mediocre & inept workers get promoted up the ladder my entire professional career.  This would be no different.

Extremely sparse crowd.  Virtually no one across the top and down to the elbow.  Maybe some fans at the end of Conrod.  Only one set of seats on the front stretch by the finish line.

I could catch qually and the races on youtube here.  Not viewable there, I presume?

Quite unfair.

Quote from: skaifeman on November 14, 2023, 04:15:18 PMNow you've jumped off the 25 and 88, hopefully they'll perform for me . Murphy's law.

My pleasure!

I'll never catch the front two by doing the same as they, so here goes with the Hail Mary:

Drop 25, Pickup 11.
Drop 88, Pickup 26.

Desperate men do desperate things. 

Quote from: Sonic on November 10, 2023, 08:39:40 PMconfirmed no Bend for 2024... but speculation now that it will get the enduro in 2025 (which one would assume will kick Sandown out again... seriously??)

I can now start plotting my strategy as to when to go down under.

Quote from: skaifeman on November 01, 2023, 09:55:31 AMWas on the Mountain last weekend, for the BLCC Speed Weekend.
Lots of Supercheap signage around the track and town already and tents etc are starting to go up for the International in a few weeks.

Hopefully the rain will stay away.  I felt it kind of put a damper on the racing at SMP.  But it is what it is and was what it was.

Do not forget, looking back at Townsville, SVG was asked to move over to allow Broc to take a position at the end of one of the races.  Minus nine points if I calculate it correctly.

My.... how strange looking back at that right now, eh?

Quote from: mikeamerica84 on October 29, 2023, 09:00:02 AMI wish they could resolve the first chicane on the initial start of the race.  Start them somewhere else on the track, like a standing start AFTER the first chicane complex.

That might just move the problem to the 2nd chicane!

Oh, I know, Bloops.  I was just trying to get them to eliminate the problem in some way.

Actually, looking at what I posted, I meant to say after the BACK chicane on the beach side.  There is a lot more run to Turn 11 there wherein things could get sorted out without cutting a kerb or two..... or three.  Very few can cut a concrete barrier.

Quote from: skaifeman on November 01, 2023, 10:25:23 AMLooking back, if SVG loses this Championship by less than 159pts, the ice-box decision by 888 was a big one!

True.  To a point.

Had he NOT been DQd, and kept the points, Erebus on the other hand may have raced him differently throughout the year for they would then been playing catchup.  888 has had all year to come back from that DQ, too.

But do not forgot Townsville where SVG was asked to move over and let Broc Feeney take a race win.  Less loss of points than Newcastle, but still a loss.

Quote from: stevo qld on November 01, 2023, 12:23:53 AMThe Bend boasts the second longest permanent circuit in the world after Germany's Nurburgring, and has played host to events such as the Asian Le Mans series and Supercars itself.

Revenue losses aside, THAT (above) was a surprise for me.  I would have never guessed, I guess.

Thanks for the article, stevo.
