We should be show casing australia's best talent and categorys ie Carrera Cup, Formula Ford, and maybe leave utes on to give the punters a bit of a laugh!

Carrera Cup are at the AGP and so are the Utes. So 2/3 of your suggestions.
Formula 3 is great at the GP because it attracts a large field, the largest field for them all year. And with international interest, why should F3 not be on the card?
Aussie Racing Cars are also widely entertaining, probably moreso now than the Utes are. As the Utes have lost a lot of their "Brute" and are now an actual racing category. Plus there is no fog, or dust around Albert Park for them to put on a dust show, all their antics would just end up in a concrete wall.
HQ Holdens are great, but the track is really just way too big. Would almost be like watching those karts going around.
Plus people go to F1, for that very reason. F3 competes at Sandown. HQ's are on all the time. Aussies are at all major tracks. Utes go to plenty, and Formula Ford are on in basically every state.
And you get to see them all for a cheaper rate than at the F1 GP.
I doubt whether people would change their minds going to the F1, if they had Formula Ford instead of ARC. Nor would they if HQ's were on instead of F3. All in my opinion of course.
