| It's that time of year again. Blue versus red, Good versus evil, Ford versus Holden. I will watch the first hour or so but then I will go to bed ready for the F1 This is all I have to say.  The End |

| Considering I'll be up for the F1 Sessions may as well make an all nighter of it and watch the 1000 as well, It worked out ok for Le Mans earlier in the year so should be possible tonight. Although back then i didn't have a rehearsal on Sunday afternoon so first time for everything |

| I've got work at 10am, So am hoping for no delays in the F1. I would like to stay up and watch most of this but my sleep patterns are all over at the minute and am struggling to stay awake now. Watch the first 10-15 laps I think then that will do me. |

| Well the F1 race should finish at 9am at the most if the two hour time limit is reached - depending if it starts on time.
Holy crap that was a huge roll coming into the chase - Fabien I think |

| With the Formula 1 waking up to watch this was a big no-no. But I've recorded the Bathurst 1000 on Motors TV so I shall watch it during next week. I see it was a Holden 1-2-3-4-5.

| the race this year was running short and due to the lack of cautions the tv company had a lot of avderts to get in.
Due to these to facts the tv company decided to take the ad breaks and pause the race for the tv coverage. This dosen't matter to people watching from home, but at the track, where it's common for people to take camper vans and watch the race from the track on the big plasma, so when the tv company paused the race things weren't happening on the track at the same time as on the tv.
The race ended 30 plus minutes before the tv coverage. This didn't go down very well to say the least. |

| Well it's simple, just have debris cautions to improve the TV situation.
Don't the Australian's throw beer cans on the track? Just say the caution is for beer cans to be cleared up - simple.

| only fake racing does that, a beer can would be ignored anyway not big enough to worry about and besides aussie v8's dosen't need a gimmick to make it exciting. |

| A beer can is extremely dangerous and someone could get killed or seriously injured - better to bring out the safety car to be on the safe side.
