By Nov 3rd-4th NSW is on track to be 70% double vaccinated. Even if it's a 100% NSW crowd, it will have crowds in my opinion with very few restrictions on caps.

won't happen, the Freedom Fighters will make sure of it

freedom fighters will only make up the 10% who don't want it. I believe we will get the 70% and a incentive of a passport will convince those holding out to go and get it. Supercars will have to wait until I believe 1st Oct to make a call on Bathurst. If numbers look promising it will go ahaead, if not plan B.

Again I am looking positive if 200k a day getting the jab is kept up and NSW ploughs aahead as well we will get there [ Bathurst]

Needed to push it back further than that if they want a crowd

I hope not, but suspect they will have alternate plans in consideration. could be a move to December??? any later could be NO bathurst or 2 events in same year???

Maybe they should just allow people in from Green zones as a way of knocking the heads together of Gvmts
If NSW is still a red zone(which it will be)  why would someone from a green zone want to go there as on their return to the green zone they would need to isolate at a quarantine hotel at their expense for 2 weeks.

May only be NSW spectators only??? bit like last year?




the way it is going, it could be country NSW only, or even Country NSW plus interstate and greater Sydney banned.

But, Bathurst isn't all that far from greater Sydney if some idiot decides he wants a pie at Pit Stop Pies.

We may have shortages of one type of vaccine, but we have no shortage of selfish idiots. >:(

the key number is how many infectious in the community last three days has seen it DROP that,s good. plus reports of NSW reaching 70% vaccinated by mid Sept which if achieved will mean less lockdowns and vaccine passports allowing attendance at sporting events and alike, means by Nov race date LESS chance of it being effected by Covid.

I prefer to think positive rather than all the negative the media is spewing

One thing I have worked out is do not listen to negative predictions. It is a nightmare for anyone trying to run a national series atm be it footy Alf soccer etc . They would have to be sure they can get teams in and out of new to run a 2020 style event and Sydney would have be clear for that to happen as Bathurst is a bit close. Let's all hope it is over by then if not welllll  no 2021 Bathurst?

Looks like covid strikes again new date 4th to 7th November for the great race. Probably a good call but it will be HOT

9 to 25 degree average but with a high chance of rain, on average, and a lowish humidity.

25 degrees is not hot, let alone HOT.

Too far out for any accurate weather prediction been going for 21 years straight even 25 can feel like 30 .

Good news if SM can race. Might give SVG some competition ?
