It was intriguing to learn of your involvement in Phillip Island and Adelaide as well.
Australia's motorsport heritage today would be vastly different today without those tracks.

As a kid I have fond memories of watching the old Formula Holden beasts and quite ironically their races on those 3 tracks specifically. Will Power and Scott Dixon are both past champions and are still great racers.
More recently the A1gp at the creek was also great to watch with drivers like James Hinchcliff, Graham Rahal, John Martin, Nico Hulkenburg (whom holds the track record) and many others.
Marcos Ambrose clinched his two V8 supercar titles at Eastern Creek, one of them a cracker of a race that went down to the wire in extremely wet conditions.
Sadly this is all now a distant memory and motorsport in Australia may never get back to that standard.

Not long ago people used to belittle Eastern Creek as a racetrack, but frequently now drivers and commentators refer to it (now Sydney Motorsports Park) as being "flowing in deign" and "characteristically European".
I don't know why this sentiment has changed (or ever existed) about the track. I guess it relates to the old adage "you don't know what you've got till it's gone", as reflected in the diminishing state of permanent race tracks around Australia.

I have never known a time without these 3 tracks. They are each different and unique.
Regardless of whatever comment is made about them, the one thing that cannot be denied is that they all have a huge amount of character, a feature that cannot be seen in most new racetracks around the world.

PS. I love the name Eastern Creek!

I cant put my finger on why this sentiment of Eastern Creek has changed (or ever existed), but I guess there is an element of "you don't know what you've got till its gone" when it comes to permanent race tracks in Australia.

I have to say that I have never known a time without these 3 tracks.
All very different, but unique. Whatever is said about them, it cannot be denied that they have a huge amount of character.
This is a feature which definitely cannot be seen in most new tracks around the world.

Whats your critiques on design flaws?
BTW Watkins Glen?

Also on Raikkonen to Ferrari, seems strange to me when they paid some 90mil to get rid of him for Alonso a few years back. Definitely short term thinking and how helpful will he be with Alonso? Just doesn't make any sense to me.
Being a Ferrari boy I would have loved to see Kobayashi being promoted seeing as he is just a young Raikkonen anyway. Makes better sense with regards to the Asian market as well.

Then again as exhibited in the above photo, most decisions in the racing world these days don't seem to make any sense.

We will both see if Daniel can cut it now won't we?

And not bad for a 23 year old track eh?
