This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of the 100-140km 'intermediate' races traditionally held on sprint weekends - I think they're too long to be attention-grabbing sprint races (like the late-90s format or current BTCC format), but too short to be strategic 'single-driver endurance' races.

I feel like there should be 3x20-30min races on the Saturday (awarding 50pts to the winner in each) and the 200km main event on Sunday (awarding 150pts), with only the first Saturday race and the 200km race having Qualifying-based grids to spice things up a bit.

Thoughts?

Anyone seen the BPad on tv showing the supercars, and hinting that the fuel you put in your car is the same as Supercars use?

Also note how many other fuel brands are shown in the ad on other cars? I saw Total energy, Hope to start with. Whoever edited the ad should have been more careful.

This weeks episode of FCTTN said that there isn’t any upcoming racers to take the spots of underperforming drivers. Got me thinking how come Herne never gets much of a look in? Is very competitive in trans am here and in the US.

Hello all,

I'll be attending my first actual V8 Supercars race weekend in Perth soon.

I see that there are a couple of "Signing sessions" in Merchandise Alley on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

For those of you that have attended any of these recently, do they just sign something like driver cards (postcards) or am I able to bring a picture or something and have everyone sign that one thing instead of a whole stack of signatures?

Obviously something that wouldn't take any extra time to anger the people behind me in line.

Thank you.
