Been there, done that. I find as I get older, what doesn't fall off, either sags, or doesn't work. :evil: :rolllaugh:
 
I note the S5000s are not scheduled. Maybe they didn't get authorised by Motorsport Australia due to the track layout (ie, too dangerous), or maybe because with only 11/12 cars on the long track it wouldn't be a decent race? Either way, probably a good decision.
 
Yeah don't know actually. They have had other race car class there prior, Formula 3, Vee, Ford and all those cool Radicals.
 
Yep I watched Formula 3 there a few years back. The Easter event is great as there is plenty of room to move around

Also usually called a Flat Spot. Great example of a flat spot. The wheel will generally stop at the same place during any subsequent "threshold braking".
At Bathurst, down conrod straight, a flat spot front or rear would cause the biggest vibration that driver has ever felt :eek:

From the ARG website:
SATURDAY/SUNDAY
ARG categories will be broadcast live and free on Channel 7 Saturdays and Sundays.

STREAMING ON 7PLUS
ANYTIME/ANYWHERE
All races will be available for fans to watch anytime, anywhere on 7plus.

(Streaming 7plus is also free, usually with a bit more coverage).

Not very informative, I guess more details will be released during the week.
 
7mate:
Saturday 07.00-10.00 (WA). (10.00-13.00 AEDT).

Sunday 08.00-15.30 (WA). (10.00-17.30 AET - check this because I think daylight saving finished overnight).

Don't know times for streaming on 7Plus but usually it starts a bit earlier.
Edit:
7Plus -
Saturday same start, runs on to 5.30pm Eastern time.
Sunday starts earlier at 8.00am Eastern.

I note that all 3 TCR races are within the 7Mate TV schedule.

Check your own programs, may be different to WA coverage.

Cheers.

Mostert's Audi dominated but closely followed by Aaron Cameron's Peugeot.
Cameron was first away in each race but Mostert was able to catch him each time.

Saturday Race 2 was a beauty. Race 3 was interrupted with safety cars.

Moffatt's Megane had a good run for once, climbed from near back of field in Race 1 to start 7th in Race 3 and I think finished 6th.
Jordan Cox outstanding in an Alfa coming from last grid position in Race 1 to advance each race and finished 3rd at end of Race 3.

Personally, I think Bathurst is a bit long for TCR racing, unless you had about 30 cars. IMO they suit a tighter track like Sandown. I would love to see them at Wanneroo in WA, I think our track would really suit TCR.

Cheers.
