So the idea is the same as the original Adelaide 500? Cars enter Parc Ferme at the end of "Part A"? Otherwise you can just do your pit stop for fuel between races....

I would not be surprised if they have a stupid rule where 2 pitstops and 100L must go in over the TWO parts of the race |

What changes are there for the pit lane setup? I wouldnt think the V8 lads will be bailling over a knee high fence for the first time? Did the Indy Car pits have much more in the way of room than the other end of the pit lane?

It's pretty much an identical set up to Adelaide now- straight out the front of the garages.

Compared to what? Hardly a desirable outcome.
I dont see a Bowden's parade as an adequate replacement for an international open wheel category? A notable attempt at short notice however a reflection of the 09 event. It is great that there will not be yawning gaps in the program however the event is more than half the event it was. I am not sure 'freakin sweet' is an appropriate description of the 2009 event, no matter how many v8 races you can watch in 2 days. Last edited by D.R.T.; 20 Oct 2009 at 13:37. |

The new supp regs are out on the V8 website, with more than the schedule.
As GTRMagic stated. The Race Leg B is set from the finishing position of Leg A. A 50L Refuelling Pit Stop per leg. Points: The aggregate points achieved in Legs 1 & 2, will become the VCS points for the race. So the winner of Leg 2 may not be the winner of the race. Points for each leg are 75-69-65-60-56-51-48-45-42-39-36-35-33-32-30-29-27-26-24-23-21-20-18-117-15-14-12-11-9-7. Also worth noting that during a race, any driver who cuts a chicane and achieves a sector time less than those detailed may be penalized by the Stewards. Sector 1: 0m49s Sector 2: 1m23s Sector 3: 1m50s Note: Stewards at their sole discretion may amend these times should circuit, weather, or other conditions require. |

So they can cut chicanes, so long as they don't improve on that time. What if they have a spin in that sector? They can just drive straight through the chicane to make up time.
What about during qualifying then... This scoring they've adopted is a bit of a shamozzle. |

I noticed today at the track the merchandise is already half price... mainly because it is covered in Nitro and A1GP logos...
