    Noticed the NSW Concours and Display Day is being held at Vaucluse House, Sidenee on Sunday 12 October. Who chose that date - it clashes with the Bathurst V8 Supercar event. Anyone attending the Concours ?

    The point is, most Ferrari lovers are also motoring enthusiasts whether it be F1, V8 Supercars or otherwise and I've always found the V8 Bathurst day to be a good day to chill out in front of the TV with a few beers.

    Unfortunately V8Supercar organisers aren't lovers of other motoring events else they wouldn't put the V8 event the same weekend as the Japanese GP, which they did almost every year when Ch10 had the rights to both events. So F1 would be put on at 11pm even tho it was a title race decider.


    edit: Surprise surprise, its on the same weekend as the Japanese GP.

    Ok I agree with you now, what were they thinking putting the Ferrari Concours on the same weekend a F1 event happens in the day (local time for us).

    Because we have the National Rally starting in Sydney (with a concours) on Sunday 26 October!

    People want a state concours, its usually held in October, the 12th was the only day that could be worked into the Calendar.

    If you want another belly laugh, the FCA National Rally weekend at the end of October clashes with the Gold Coast Indy/v8 Supercar event - go figure.

    Wouldn't it have been easier to have held the NSW Concorso in conjunction with the National?

    I wasn't involved in the planning but I'm guessing the idea is that the state concours gives people an opportunity to learn where their car is losing points and thus be in better shape for a trophy at the nationals.
