The 09 series kicks off with the now regular opener, the Clipsal 500 on the streets of Adelaide.
For the first time the cars will be running an ethanol blend fuel, which will result in refueling twice during the Clipsal 500, and could well decide the race if teams miscalculate on fuel usage.
The qualifying system is similar to last year except the final leg has been replaced by the Top 10 Shootout, and qualifying will set the grid for all 2 race weekends.
Other than this the Clipsal 500 sticks to the tried and true format of plenty of on and off track action which never fails to entertain. A 32 car field for the Australian GT Championship is a promising return to form for this series which has struggled in varying forms over the years.
There will be a live radio coverage application on the V8 Supercar website for all 2009 races. This certainly will come in handy for the rounds were races are delayed, and will solve questions on yellow/red flags.
