So the idiots at SC have decided to block the Adelaide organisers from including TCR as a support category at nexts years season opener.
I want to know how an organisation who relies so heavily on tax payer funds can have so much distain for its customer base.
Bit like the APCC/Bathurst 12hr, until they can control it, derive income from it, its competition.Quote:

The problem is Adelaide 500 may have already done a deal with ARG for the opening round of the 2020 TCR Australia Series to join the support race program of the Supercars in February. At this stage, the official line is "they’re (TCR) one of the groups we’re talking to” which suggests the deal is not set in stone as yet. Supercars have just “raised an objection” at this stage. AA are doing their best to add fuel to the fire as usual.Quote:

6hr 12hr objections in turn bought one of them to gain control and more so its SC drivers, originally tried to stop SC drivers in these events.
Nothing new saying SC is a rotten organisation.
Killing our game and anything around it if they can.
We all see Australian Motorsport as something to be supported and embraced collectively, but there are commercial relatities to consider and they (SC) obviously feel TCR are a threat somehow.
Embracing TCR on the same card kind of negates any potential competition between them too.Quote:

The other concern might be the FTA arrangement TCR enjoys which would "show up" the PayTV only SC's, although te 500 itself is one of the few FTA races too....
I watched TCR last weekend, honestly i dont think SC have much to worry about, putting them head to head could also reinforce why SC's is better racing.
Watched the world one on the weekend as well meh. TCR it's worth watching but SC is better.Quote:
