All the east coast people are doing that as it forms part of the championship that includes targa tas and has demonstrably better roads than here.
Its a shame that the numbers are so low as Bob has gone to a massive amount of effort to rejig the event. The entry fee is down and they have taken out things like the accomodation at Burswood which for locals seemed a bit silly. A lot of the liasion is gone aswell.
IMHO (and I have entered) is that there is 200km competitive and you do almost every stage 2 or 3 times over 4 days. Entry fee is $5k if you dont early bird before the end of May. Targa Tas is 600km over 5 days and is a $6k entry. Not 1 stage is repeated whatsoever. Yes you have to get there and all the rest of it but it puts it into perspective.
I think given that there is only 2 cars coming from the east it is probably as good a field as they could of hoped for. There are a few notable ommissions, Hamilton, Jones, Major, Wilson etc.
