Quick point.

Total weekend crowd for Eastern Creek: 23,511.

the clipsal gets double that on the Thursday and there are no main game V8's out, and over 10X that for the weekend. I know its different type of event but still thats a major difference

Tony Cochrane is not worried about crowd size he is more concerned about how much money he can make out of the round. Look at Bahrain around 6K for the weekend but they get paid shitloads to fly over there and circle around slower than the support categories (that have bigger name drivers than the V8's)

Sunday General admission : $80 at the gate.

Paddock pass: $40 at the gate.

A grandstand seat is an eye watering $158.

wow the paddock pass is cheaper at the clipsal (4day pass $30) and the general admission are about the same.

the average grandstand seat is $220-$250 for the 4 days.

I'm glad i don't pay for tickets anymore

i see Courtney continued his destruction derby, he tries to pass Bright hits him and gets put off the road, then gets passed by bright and hits him off. Then he had heavy contact with Marshall before the restart

I don't understand why this weekend is a non-championship event what a complete waste of time for the teams, how is it any different to other meetings? Their is only 1 meeting in the entire year that should be a non-championship event and that's Bathurst!!

Bit harsh black-flagging Jamie in that last race i reckon. He really had no choice but to come back onto the track. He was off the track entirely on the run-off area which disappeared entirely about 80m later and had to come back on or go bush... Frosty pretty much held him out there and refused to give him room so paid the price. At worst a meatball for Whincup but even that's undue in my opinion.

Yep,,,Frosty stuffed up and I'm the first to admit it. Wincup was on greens and would have won the race.

Man loving Kelly said on MMM to watch out for Wincup because he's flying and new tyres would make him un-beatable.

I think Marks had just about enough of the Voda guys and decided to argue.

Neil.

he did also have the option of yielding aswell

... non championship and all

Possibly so, but he was actually half a car or more in front of frosty and travelling at 200k's? or so. By the time he yeilded his track position he'd have been out of track and going bush like the F1 car later with suspension shattering jumps and probably an even bigger pileup with the followers then a single car like frosty.

Awww, I dunno about whincup winning. Tander was pure class all weekend, which is a bitter pill for me to swallow. Im not a real fan of his but credit where its due, new car new team and he walloped them all good and proper. You think Whincup could have got up to him? Might have been a tall ask even on green tyres.

I think Holden may have magnetised the Fords. They seem to be coming together awfully often for plain old physics to be solely responsible...

Maybe they've figured out a use for Brocks polariser finally... Re-wired it into a giant frikkin laser... I mean magnet

I agree i'm not sure more team owners would enjoy the street races due to the damages bill.

This track in particular I think is a shit hole, it looks like no thought went into it they just "had to have a street race in NZ". The chicane on the back straight is shocking, it serves no purpose other than to ruin cars. The other thing I hate is that incar video and audio is ruined on street events.

Edit: Oh and if I see the safety car 1 more time im going to scream!

Edited by benm

true but as a driver that's not acceptable to me. remember a guy died at the last street meeting (Adam Ashely-Cooper)

and street tracks are not available all year so every other racer misses out on driving around it. If they spent the same money on permanent tracks with proper safety everyone would benefit

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
