The contract to show up and signing of the main event is undertaken by the state government. All the super GP management do is prepare and stage the event they are handed by the government. The government signed a dud, the rest of the world knew the A1 GP series was almost since the day it was first announced. What we had was a desperate government keen to sign any thing to avoid some public outfall and back lash they they had screwed up the Indy contracts and renewing the Indy cars. Sadly the event will struggle to find another category that will attract the same crowd and international interest like the Indy cars did. Now here we are January 2010, 9 months from the usualy race date and yet to have an announcement if they have anything in place to replace the Indy or A1 cars. Mr Cochrane can beat his chest about his super v8's all he wants but his cars will never draw the type of crowd and the numbers or dollars required to hold the street circuit event round the gold coast. Everyone will say that it worked at Homebush, but homebush is a different kettle of fish and doesn't rank in the same event as the gold coats event does. End of the Day Judy Spence is to blame for this debacle when she screwed up the Indy cars contract signing after tripping off on her little junket tot he US to secure the great new contract and then forgot about it and let it fall apart and left us posted with nothing but a shonky at best outfit called the A1 GP.

These are merely rehash of what has been in public domain for more than a year now. Has Goldcoast.com.au’s “investigation” revealed yet that the world is round and the pope is a Catholic?
