Melbourne to Keep Australian GP until 2015

yes, its silly how time zones seem to have affected both of these races. hopefully suzuka returns to its traditional season ending slot in 2009, but i can't see it leaving brazil for better tv audiences in europe.

It's official:

The Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne will be a twilight race for the next seven years, the Victorian government has announced.

Victorian Premier John Brumby said the government had agreed to push back the start time of the race to 5pm in order to secure the event until 2015.

Mr Brumby said the race would be held at the new time slot from next year and an agreement had been reached not to use any artificial lighting for the term of the contract.

fantastic! let's hope there is good weather, otherwise there could be lighting problems towards the end of the race
