This is just plain fucking dumb in the pits. Amateur is the only way to describe it.

Fabian Coulthard just got popped up onto two wheels in the pits.

This.

Eastern Creek is now to be known as Sydney Motorsports Park, and it contains 4 circuit layouts. A 4.5Km ‘Long Circuit,’ the original 3.9km ‘GP Circuit,’ a 2.8km ‘North GP’ layout and 1.9km ‘South GP’ configuration.

V8 Supercars are still undecided on whether to stick with the 3.9km GP Circuit run in the past, or to use the extended 4.5km Circuit.

Hate hate hate the current track so I hope they change it.

that new bit is awful

That extension is like Bahrain in 2010, tight twisty nowhere to overtake.

Give me Homebush over that any day of the week.

+1 to that. Never liked EC.

A good thing Phillip Island wasn't this week.

Wow. Makes the hailstorm there when I was marshalling last month look pretty tame by comparison. I love Phillip Island and its meteorological mentalness though.

Don't like it; while I do approve of door numbers, it's far, far too big and makes everything else look small in comparison.

At least it has door numbers. It's the way it should be.

The new add-on for Eastern Creek looks great, especially for bikes.

Makes for a decent lap length for the new second circuit as well, which is the whole point of the new bit of track.



Couldn't agree more

Nascar style

I doubt they extended the track for V8 Supercars seeing there wasn't even a round at the track until a month ago.

Plenty of series will be interested in the longer track, or the fact that the track has two tracks that can run simultaneously, and V8 Supercars may be interested in different options in Sydney if/when the government cans the Sydney 500 in a year or two.

the fact it says NASCARS on the hood make me just ugh

but fuck yeah door dumbers

As garbo says, V8Supercars racing there had ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do with the track getting extended or not


The extension was built, wholly and solely, for the second circuit so the lap length of it could be longer (the track can be split in two now and used at the same time)

The money has been very well spent. The only money pissed down the drain is the sanctioning fee they would have paid to host a V8 race they will likely not make any money off (especially as they decided to hold the race a week out from the popular Muscle Car Masters)
