Here we go with another typical Cat-Rant (tm): everytime she disagrees with sometihng that's pretty much spelt out in crayon she argues the point by taking everything out of context. We are not talking about making Australia vs. Japan a part of the championship. We are talking about a one-off (or possibly annual) type of race where Ford and Holden would go up against SuperGT. Why, you ask? Well, if the Australian drivers finished strongly, it could create interest in our local series overseas. If these guys were to beat the Japanese manufacturers (who have considerable muscle power), what do you think it would do for the sport? It would prove our drivers were worth watching! We're not talking about introducing more manufacturers, we're talking about pitting the two series against one another (the Japanese already know James Courtney, so that may help).
And why am I likening our series to another that's about as boring as batshit among others? Because fo the two-marque rule. Australia is limited to Ford vs. Holden. NASCAR is limited to Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge. DTMs only race Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Opel. SuperGT is fairly open, but only Toyota/Lexus, Nissan and Honda compete. All four are highly successful. All four are highly popular. Coincidence? Go ahead, name one other series that is as popular but it open to any and all manufacturers. But if you'd actually bothered to read the fucking post where I said this, I wouldn't be repeating myself (and you wouldn't be looking very silly right about now).
Also, they'll never bring Canberra back. The drivers hated it and the fans hated it. You're about the only one who enjoyed it. The circuit was slow, dangerous, full of chicanes and disrupted the nation's capital too much. If it weren't for the severe lack of anywhere to put your foot down, I'd swear Hermann tilke was the man responsible for it. If they could find somewhere better to run it, then mayve. Until then, it's a case of thanks, but no thanks.
