Apparently C10 will be showing the race live on the Friday at about 10pm(EST).

The F1 races there on a Sunday as normal, Obviously F1 is above 'local religious requirements'

So Bernie Ecclestone is more powerful than God.

GOOD:
- No more EC!
- Stay in NZ
- No huge gaps between rounds

BAD
- Going to Bahrain (WHY?)
- Going to Shanghai (WHY?)

Such a shame, the overseas experiment failing already!

Let this be a lesson to V8 Supercars Australia that they leave the sport in AUSTRALIA!!

There might be another change to the V8 Calendar.The Sandown 500 [sept 10] clashes with the 1st week of AFL finals.Ch10 are due to show both live at the same time.

The Sandown 500 may move forward a week to Fathers Day.

The Sandown 500 may move forward a week to Fathers Day.

That move is now official.The Sandown 500 will be on September 3

Sandown 500 date change

The Bahrain round will be run from a wednesday to friday,due to religous requirements.

There's a slight change to the Bahrain round.The Bahrain government are changing their weekends from Thursday and Friday to Friday and Saturday starting in September.Because of this the V8 Supercars will move back a day so races are run on the Friday and Saturday.

Change to Bahrain dates
