It's the Wall of Champions of Australia.

Only, you know, people actually hit it every year ;)

A lot of crashes there are caused by people thinking its a passing spot

With Sandown's days numbered as a racing facility, I doubt they'll do anything to be honest.

The Thunderdome seems to be beyond repair anyway.

I'm surprised the old Adelaide International course hasn't been demolished since it's right on the outskirts of that city and is completely dormant from what I can tell.

yeah Calder is in bad shape it seems. All they host now is drag racing and drifting on the Thunderdome's front straight.

I think Adelaide is still doing drag racing as well. Can't remember for sure about that track.

Heard about the Sandown rumors awhile back, hope that iRacing can scan it in before anything happens to it (like with Oran Park).

Good to see first time winners. Race was okay from what I saw of it.

Does someone want to start up a Bathurst topic?

You can't really do much runoff wise at that corner, there is a road right behind the spectator area. The only alternative is to bulldoze the spectator point there and use it as run-off, or put a chicane in somewhere, maybe around the point that the old GP circuit used to go.

Bob Jane also has no involvement with Calder Park at all these days. It gets used alot despite the lack of racing there, infact without the racing it probably makes some good money for the company.
