If they run the event with spectators Phil, and some of us Victorian can't get there, will they hold our camps sites over or do we lose our money?

If other states are restricted and they on sell to NSW fans your campsite will be yours next year. Regardless of whether or not they sell your site this year you'll be refunded 100%

If the SMP round is any indication, the same will apply to Bathurst.

Only thing that will throw a spanner in the works will be state border controls.

I think you'll find that'll be a NSW Government rule for their workplaces soon enough, and SMP is included because they do own the track.


Given what's going on, and what the alternatives may be, does the race have to be in physical, real life form?

will we need to be double vaxxed to watch the Bathurst E series race online?

Interesting idea, one that I doubt has been thought of, but perhaps an option.

Exactly as I believed it would have to be, and reading last paragraph of the story a strong hint Bathurst maybe moved.

There is still hope.

Supercars could still run Winton without a crowd. IF they want to. They could do it out of their own pocket as a tv only event easy enough.

And that would be better than an Island double header.

As for a NSW triple header, don't mind that as long as they don't use the same SMP track twice. Run the normal track one weekend and the short track the 2nd. Short and sharp and make them push!

I wish they had done this last year! I think it would have been great for the night race.

How about a joker lap using the short track? :P

Logical choice.

Plus NSW Premier increasingly making positive noises along the lines of opening up to sporting events [ with Vax passprts] and now even rumblings QLD will now back the agreed plan after appearing to hold out Vic also making similar noises as NSW , only makes it much easier for SC to make the event happen, another 30 days to sort things out can only be good.
