You're first reserve mate

Are you going to get Cameron McConville in for expert comments?

Na, we already have our very own nationally renowned expert commentator, in-house at OzSport

And a guy who looks like Justin Wilson, who may or may not potentially be providing expert comments

Somehow the word "expert" crept into that post....

We'll have to tease Darrel Eastlake over with some of our limited edition OzSport currency

Good stuff.

Just to clarify, this will be a 'live' broadcast?

It will be post-produced, though the intention is to make it appear that it's live

if any team spots become available, pretty sure OzBee will take em..

Cool, I'll put OzBee down as reserve.

The other option would be to change the venue so we could accomodate more racers (I really didn't expect such a great response! I was hoping for it, but didn't expect it). Part of the reason though that we chose SO Sprint 1 Reverse was because it's the shortest track in LFS (less track to cover with our 'cameras') and having just 15 drivers on track would perhaps make it easier for race control to manage.

Is there no chance you guys could just open another couple of spots?

schuey97 · Post by **schuey97** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 4:26 pm

The reason we can only have so many spots is because of South City Sprint Rev being a restricted circuit to 16 vehicles.

For anyone who misses out on this test run they will still be able to enter in the series which will allow full grids

dwayno · Post by **dwayno** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 4:42 pm

Basically, as a test, we want this to be on a smaller scale so it is, as Butters said, as manageable as possible. If we can nail this then we can go full-scale

Its great to see so many Aussie teams and privateers so enthusiastic about this! I'm stoked and I'm not even racing

AKR will have two spots.

Michael Baxter (Talon) Will be the second akr driver.

hmm...i just realised what the track is. Reversed version of that track is very very tricky. Not willing to change it to normal mode?

Sambo · Post by **Sambo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 11:05 am

tbh, the normal version of the track will just make for an insanely boring race...reverse there are a lot more overtaking opportunities and because its harder there will be more to comment on. I think its a good choice.

spoonsports · Post by **spoonsports** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 1:24 pm

i can imagine first lap of turn 4 (the one with the multi-apex right.

ouch!

GT VIRUS · Post by **GT VIRUS** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 4:34 pm

I'm thinking turn 2 tbh, people getting the run on the outside then outbraking themselfs into someone turning in to t2.

Sambo · Post by **Sambo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 5:31 pm

who cares :P this race is designed to be fun for the viewers which means you lot crash as much as possible ...I want more corners like that please

Bugle · Post by **Bugle** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 6:01 pm

But what if everyone crashes?

Too bad you can't pit on that track

Gizmo · Post by **Gizmo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 6:53 pm

Should make for a great race!

Ap0c · Post by **Ap0c** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 7:02 pm

Edit: scratch that, got plans that night.

Shaun Field Reveals he's new ride

Shaun Field (now a member of GPLegacy Racing) has unveiled the new Formula V8 for the 2007/2008 season. To be unleashed at South City next week, the striking new livery is the best from the team so far.

Shaun was quoted on saying 'Well it should make the back of the grid look alot more interesting.'
