whatever, the celebrity race is great, adds a lighter side to the grand prix weekend, and the racing isn't to bad either, if you like watching bad driving.
I agree, it is great for a laugh. It's clearly not to be taken seriously.

Would it be rude if I said "turn your TV off if you don't like it?" Ray, it may come as a suprise, but there are many that like these races. If it did'nt rate well, they would'nt show it. (Hmm, that does'nt explain Neighbours )

Well actually, they do have CAMS licences - Scary is'nt it

Actually David, they always have a member of the public at the Melbourne GP. It is a competition run though the Herald-Sun newspaper where 3 people win to do the training week and one is selected to race(it was a girl this year). I think this is how they keep anyone out that might win. It is interesting to note that at no time was that winner shown on TV. That sucks
