Re: 2019 Speedweek dates?
Greg Just to clarify, I was asking about Fire and Rescue Squad availability, not really about the date clash of these two major motorsport events, sorry for any confusion. As far as Adelaide 500 dates, Round 2 of the Supercars Championship is now linked to the Australian F1 Grand Prix at Albert Park...
