Will be interesting to see what they consider a purpose built service park would be like?

Would it be totally indoors?

How spectator friendly would it be?

How much room would be available?

I'm surprised Ron Walker hasn't made a bid to hold Rally Australia in Melbourne, it's obviously not worth much, otherwise he would have. That's how good the WRC is then.

That was on the cards a few years ago. The untimely accidental death of the main mover behind the event destroyed all that.

By the way Livewireshock, ROM will happen, expect announcement this week.

I knew that the ROM was able to continue running despite cutbacks. I was preparing to head down there regardless. I was making the observation that the ROM was not in perfect health let alone for Ron Walker to challenge for Rally Australia.
