Technically doesn't this become the longest event for the drivers now though? Now ALL of them have to do 600km of racing by themselves, not with the aid of a co-driver.

Not necessarily because at Bathurst one driver can do 2/3 of the race which translates to 107 laps or 665km.

What effect will there be on Tv Scheduling? Will the overall coverage be cur short (traditionally there were lots of footage of Indycar specific garb between sessions etc.)

Yeah, where is the confirmation? At first, I thought the GC track had a track density of only 28...but it is still 32, isn't it?

hmm, interesting to see that rules can be changed at the last minute allowing two extra races to be added to the championship (forced by circumstance or not)....
...yet two months out from Sydney they couldn't work something out to accomodate an entry for Marcos Ambrose....... also won't this "Part A & B" for the races confuse the public, i thought each race had a podium in 2009 |

There's a final reg up on the V8 website that is a revised schedule only. I'd take it then that each race is in two 150km parts. Each race counts for the same number of points that the original races were going to count for - its just that now each race is split into two parts and the total distance is higher.
I reckon that there'll possibly be another update with revised tyre allocation. |

Perhaps like the old sprint format?
You start Part B where you finished Part A and get points for both??? |

Has further supp regs been issued detailing the format and sporting changes yet?
How the points will work, how Race 2 relates to Race 1, and Race 4 relates to Race 3? |

I'd assume that you'd start part B where you finished part A. Posted this up last night but the post seems to have disappeared. Probably be another reg spelling it all out in more detail in the next day or so I would think. |
