The air race looked good on tv & hope it does well in the future. But for now, it just did not match what the government said it would & now has egg on their face.Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen
In reply to being asked what 240Kph on Watagans Road was like:-

agree with the comment about the coverege on regular TV over here, there's a hell of a lot more for the Red Bull Air Race than the rallying gets

I agree! But the rally has gone and I doubt the Queenslanders will ever let it go – mad if they did!
Guess all we can do now is work on attracting or creating another major motorsport event in WA. Perhaps we could try & wrestle the GP or Moto GP of the Vics! Or better still – create our own world class event – a rally or maybe our own Bathurst!
Whatever it is, the Govt of the day must NOT have anything to do with its organisation! You’re spot on Daniel – they couldn’t organise a P/..up in a brewery!
I don’t know who but we have plenty of wealthy entrepreneurs in the state & I’m sure some of those involved in m/s know some of them! Choose the location carefully (not in a Dieback area!) and promote it as we promote AFL (and we all know that’s on every week!)
I will get to see Rally Oz in 2008 but only because I’ll be returning from Rally NZ via Brisbane. I won’t be spending that kind of money to visit Qld again. I’d rather see some of our magnificent state (widely promoted overseas & Perth doesn’t get a mention!) or spend it going to an overseas rally – it’s probably cheaper & you get much better viewing access!
Guess all we can do is move on and work on our motorsport drought.
Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal...
