Won't worry me, I won't be watching!

 

Apart from TCM, which is almost never televised anyway, I've pretty much given up on Australian motorsport altogether, and that's coming from a die hard touring cars fan my whole life.

I don't watch any car racing at all due to it bores me to death. I do watch Moto GP and been watching it since the late 1980's. I can't remember missing any races since a been watching it.

The formula looks substantially more entertaining than the last 10 years of VEEATEstupidtaxis.

I second Bigfella237 comments.

 

TCM needs more TV coverage.

Why don't they start 'People Mover Class' it can be a category for KIA Carnivals, Toyota Taragos, etc and instead of Pitt stops they can have Macca's drive through windows where they have to purchase happy meals for the passengers, and on the last lap they have to reverse park across the line - yay I'm salivating at the thought of watching this, well nearly as much as a bloody turbo diesel twin cab class!

I've been saying this for years, I think we should form a consortium and run our own races... get back to the good old days.

 

Firstly we book Mt Panorama for the October long weekend and finally get the great race back in it's proper time slot, then we run the TCM cars plus a heap of "groups" from the same era around Bathurst for 161 laps!

 

I reckon it would be standing room only on the mountain. We could even invite the super taxis to do a six-lap exhibition race at sparrow's fart when nobody's watching!

well you might be able to soon enough, once the new track is built at Bathurst i doubt the mountain will be used anyway, so it might be possible to use it for other events whilst the "supertaxis" are trundling single file around the new track with Skaife and co saying how good 888 is and 90% of the TV coverage showing redbull cars
