Bud, I reckon Adelaide would be cool (fellow melbournians will kill me).
Bernie and Max will likely axe Oz and Bernie has a pretty good business head.
Like the V10's, shall miss it, but thats just life I suppose. :cry::cry::cry:

Australia won't hold night race

By Pablo Elizalde Monday, February 4th 2008, 12:21 GMT

Australian Grand Prix organisers are not ready to hold their race at night, despite the risk of losing the event.

Formula One commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone said over the weekend that the race's future was in jeopardy if it did not fit European television slots.

"In Melbourne, if we were to continue to be there, we would have to have a night race," he told Australian newspaper the Sunday Telegraph. "That would be the only option."

Tourism Minister Tim Holding, however, said they do not plan to have the race at night, and claimed Ecclestone in fact supported the decision.

"We don't want to lose it, but we don't want to pay any price for it either," Holding told The Age newspaper. "So it's a balance.

"We've made it clear that we wouldn't have a night race and Mr Ecclestone has made it clear that he accepts that decision and, in fact, supports it."

Australia, which has been hosting a race for the past 23 years, has a contract to stage a Formula One Grand Prix until 2010.


Hmm. A strange turn of events. I'm not certain what to believe with all the politicking that will be going on. Ecclestone was certainly talking tough. In any case, I hope the Australian Grand Prix stays. It's important to the Formula One calendar.

I really like JB aswell so let's hope he does not takeout half of the grid starting from the back of the grid because the Honda is still looking like crap so far.
