Be good if Melbourne's the opener.
Should be ripper of a season if everyone's kept up with their cheating over the winter.

That was only after the F1 teams said that they would not go.

Melb always made a nice opening round.

Good news for Melbourne and perhaps a shot in the arm for the race there after some disagreement over its value.

Sydney is always there ready to take it hehehe.

Last season was great and hopefully more of the same.

Lucky for me, one of my suppliers is flying me to the malaysian round in april. Cannot wait!
