XAH03 Member 597 Member For: 17y 5m Gender: Male Location: Cairns QLD Posted 12/02/11 03:39 PM Share Posted 12/02/11 03:39 PM There isn't much of a crowd that's for sure. you would think they would try and get more people through the gates.The track is so bloody big, so after 10 laps the cars are spread out. I think that makes for a very boring race.Race 2 is a little more exciting so because of the crashes haha.I'd like to go there just to check out Ferrari world.

Surely the $$ they would save would be better spent on an Australian event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/02/11 03:17 AM Share Posted 13/02/11 03:17 AM With big corporates wanting to peddle their wares to the Middle East and Asian markets, we can expect even more races going overseas too...Qatar and Singapore will probably be next.... To be honest, Im pretty much over V8's....the cars are now too much like Nascar with so many shared components and too many petty rules and regs for anybody to use their ingenuity to build a better mousetrap.

IBOO57 Member 538 Member For: 15y 9m 16d Posted 13/02/11 04:14 AM Share Posted 13/02/11 04:14 AM Agreed, looking at all those empty seats is laughable. Even more lame than the empty stadiums at the Delhi Commonwealth games.I know Eastern Creek is a bit of a sh*thole but id rather they held an event there again than over with the Dune Coons.Even wakefield Park would be better for the sport than what there doing.If only it was about racing cars and not just a business.

The Team) and celebrating on the podium with rose water. But yeah, takes what is becoming more and more boring in any case to a whole new level.
