March 14: Bahrain GP March 28: Australian GP April 16-18: ITM 400, Hamilton Doesn't leave room for the Clipsal 500, that and the fact that V8SA has approved the preferred Clipsal dates of March 11-14 for 2010. http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/s...016221,00.html |

Surely not?
That must be simple misprint hopefully, there must be a round in WA, unless it's some misguided negotiating tactic. |

its past negotiating, they have been negotiating for the whole of the last 5 year contract.
The time has past, goodbye WA, thankyou for being so backward |

TC knows exactly what he's doing and once he's finished mauling the Western Australian taxpayer it's on to Sandown and another hit at us in Victoria. |

If the two overseas events begin 2010, the V8 off-season could potentially only be 2 months in length.

with respect to WA, what do Winton, QR, and Symmons offer that Barbagallo doesn't?
Yep, just another go at more taxpayer cash. |

At this stage not even the teams know what's going on except that the two Middle East races to kick off the year are definitely on.
They have been told though that any plans to book travel or accommodation for Bahrain this year should be put on hold pending an announcement within the week. Certainly the guys at Kelly Brothers were expecting to be back at Winton come November. BTW there was a really good turn-out for the Kelly Open Day, we were there to interview a Mr Collins who is a very nice chap and told us all about his race career, his future V8 plans and the fun he has on his other "job" It's on this Tuesday night, highlights and full interviews with Rick Kelly and Jack Perkins also coming up in the In Pit Lane podcast, probably this Thursday night. |

and TC should be using his powers to get the tracks upgraded if he can. the WA government have been slack in improbing this track, 5 years to improve things and they have only paid lip service |

Definite 2010 V8 SUPERCAR SEASON START DATE - FEB 20 ABU DHABI
The Abu Dhabi people are pretty sure of the start date of the 2010 V8 Supercar season, cos here it is - all confirmed by press release issued by the Yas Marina Circuit today. Feb 18-20 Abu Dhabi, Feb 25-27 Bahrain.
http://www.sportssystems.com/novell/...host/BF292.pdf So Clipsal chimes in as Round 3 some time later in March. So Aussie fans don't get the opening two rounds of their own series.... Now what happens with Bahrain this year....when are the public to be told (or the venue for that matter) or is the round scrubbed all together? Such incredible organisation displayed here... Don't bother asking the teams, they are raking in the cash big time with this decision so you won't hear them whining about it. All about the money boys! |

Is that press release telling me theres new planes built to carry a larger amount of parts? Meaning more spares? Otherwise i can see some problems with cars not fronting up to the 2nd ROUND due to not being a complete car...
