Yep, logistically it will be a nightmare.

Council will need a full 12months to plan this.

I'm hearing former 500cc/Moto GP World Champion Nicky Hayden has died.

"Catastrophic" head and chest injuries from being hit by a car late last week while out cycling.

Nicky Hayden has died after being struck by a car while cycling in Europe.

The accident was 5 days ago.

Nicky was only 35.

RIP...Kentucky Kid.

I've seen a "fly over" of the track and it looks great.

The shots from the chopper during racing will be awesome I reckon.

I'll be tuned into practice tomorrow to get a birds eye view from over the steering wheel.

There are virtual laps of the street circuit on the V8 Supercars website

1 external and 1 from behind the wheel.

Keen to see how the track goes.. A brand new track to decide the championship!

[Rick]

They have done an amazing job, very very well presented track and it’s only year 1.

Credit to all involved.

It looks fantastic.

[bonehead]

If that race wasn't manufactured then I don't know what is. I'm still scratching my head as to how 38kmh exceeds 40kmh...

was doing 45kmh at the line, inertia etc.

too many flat earther whincup haters.

If SM sits behind moff for 1 more lap he'd be champion, as if moff wasn't going to let his best mate pass for the championship

[-PJ-]

You can't make up what happened on that final lap yesd...

Fantastic venue, and edge of your seat entertainment right till the end.

Well done Newcastle.....

Instead he wedged Lowndes into the fence and the rest is history

Everything shows so far that he was down to 32kmph engaged the pit lane speed monitor prior to pit lane (can see the light flashing at the rear of the car prior to pit lane) which brought him up to 38kmph.

That was more staged than WWF.

The whole thing is a farce. It’s a company not a sport, completely manufactured, as it has been all year.

As for the rubbish with Lowndes at the end there is no way an incident like that can be investigated within 40 seconds. Absolute joke. They got the result they wanted.

That Chinese GP was ridiculous.

Ricciardo will have his pick of seats next year.

Epic race, best one I have seen in a long time. Cracker of a pit strategy and well executed by Danny.

Fingers crossed the Ferrari rumours are true as they look to be on the front foot this year or at best back to even.

Not sure Vettel will 'allow' that. Danny hosed him at their year together at Red Bull.

[Rick]

Will be interesting. He is in his championship window and needs to secure the right seat.


Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse mobile app powered by Tapatalk

[Sossman]

Either way, Danny will probably leave Red Bull. Big rumour is that they're moving to Honda Engines in 2019 and he won't want to be around for that.

[Rick]

There will always be a seat for him in a Mustang at DJRTP
