It mightn't last long, but Courtney taking the champ lead is a spice up even if he is in a Ford. I'm still not accustomed to the idea of 888 becoming Holden.
New rule at Bathurst this year? No two current drivers can team up in the same car. That will be interesting.
But you're right about tracks like Winton. Transformers in a phone box. For a TV viewer it looks entirely up to the drivers and cameras to make the spectacle. However, with the market size that V8s cater for, we'd almost need a nutty billionaire to build appetising new tracks. I suppose the Avalon proposal will rely on our FedGov permitting the airport to take international flights. Imagine the politics wrapped up in that.
Still, Adelaide, Albert Park, Phillip Island, Gold Coast and yes, one of the hands down best in the world, Bathurst. Good times yearly. Personally, I don't think new teams are required, but I'd welcome them.
