Race programme - essential info

[Andrew Metford]

I'm struggling to get excited about the Bathurst theme for several reasons;

1/ It's the NZfmr, not the AUSfmr
2/ When we've celebrated all things NZ, sure then go for other themes, but when we haven't celebrated drivers such as Jim Richards, Paul Radisich, Craig Baird, Greg Murphy, David Oxton, makes such as Begg, McRae, etc, + numerous other names that have contributed a lot to NZ motorsport ( Sir Colin Giltrap + ?? ), I'm struggling to get excited about a Bathurst NZFMR.

And as for the events that unfolded around people getting kicked out from garages, random cars being added to series grids unbeknown to the series organiser, well that's just not good enough.

It was hard enough to support the event this year with the Friday ticketing shambles, going to be even harder next year............
