could we keep it if instead of the cars racing around the track we have the grid girls running around hte track?

in any case, voted yes - dont understand how its losing money though hmmm....must be bernie digging around for spare change....

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to keep it in Melbourne? Unless those who voted 'no' are from interstate and are just jealous. :P

plenty of people in Melbourne want it gone. Too self obsessed to be slightly put out for a few days of the year.

Voted...

But Bernie only listens to these

he's probably only really interested in copious quantities of the purple note, uleh

it is but it isn't. The 4 day event runs at a loss of 40 million or whatever it is, but they don't include how much the revenue it brings in to the hotels, clubs, shopping etc when you add all that it's not running at so muxh of a loss if any plus it shows Melbourne to the world which hopefully brings tourist's here

you host a race event at your place so i can sell hotdogs out front

so what if you lose money, i'll be rolling in it (your logic).

the way i meant it is like you have to spend money to make money, victoria would make alot back on tourism but the media doesnt focus on that

To another country...

One that will be happy to host a night time GP.

I don't know if the locations that are under consideration at the moment could really compete with what Melbourne offers, I always thought the start of the f1 just after our summer here was great.

If Bernie wants a night race, and Melbourne don't want to put one on, then any country willing to do so can more than compete with Melbourne...

I've voted but unfortunately the sad truth of it is that the GP won't be here for much longer. The Vic Govt doesn't want it here anymore, Bernie doesn't care whether it's here anymore and attendence has been dropping. It's a sad state of affairs but the reality is that money talks and Bernie wants more of it.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
