    Clipsal 500 Adelaide

    Less than two weeks until it starts
    Anybody else from here going? I look forward to it every year, and this year should be better than ever! It runs from 23-26th of March
    Official Website
    Program of Events
    And the track map.

    I'll be going on the 25th or 26th, and I'll be sure to take plenty of pics and post 'em up.

    I'd love to see them try the full 1 circuit one year. Would make turn 8 less dangerous, and probably satisfy alot of fans still angry over the AGP going to Melbourne.

    Will be alot more dramatic this year though being the first event.

    Especially, since the Formula 1 Grand Prix was great in Adelaide and is as boring as hell in Melbourne. Recently, F1 racing has become boring and irrelevant to the vast majority people.

    Formula Fords used to be powered by the ancient 1.6 litre Kent OHVs, although they're surprisingly quick devices around a racetrack. I guess its not what you've got - but how you use it



    Looks like a great support program too - those great old muscle cars should be grouse to watch, plus plently of biffo from the utes. An unforgiving track so I hope the mini ARCs don't come dramatically unstuck

    Ive been to both the F1 and Clipsal 500 in Adelaide and the clipsal is heaps better, more cars on the program and we dont have to drink Fosters . Adelaide isn't boring Slicks its exciting, you never know when you will be murdered, put in a barrell and taken to the Snowtown bank. Also Adelaide is the home of the mighty Adelaide Crows, the hot favorites for the 2006 Premiership, the team for ALL south australians.

    I think the format for Clipsal makes it great as well. Why settle for one 250km race when you can have 2?
