Do they?

One point people have overlooked is that aside from being able to test at the A1 Ring - itself a big advantage

Um.. what? In season testing is banned. And even when it wasn't people like Honda never used their own tracks for testing. The only team to have used their own track as a major part of their development is Ferrari.

Ferrari used Fiorano and on occasion Mugello which were not a race track that F1 teams ran on. And its possible off course that a pre-season or mid-season test could be at the A1 Ring and we are likely to see more testing back in the sports sooner rather than later.

Hasn't the mid-season test been scrapped (again), or did I imagine that? Sure it was in the regs for 2013 that were released last week?

Yeah no mid-season test in 2013 to keep costs down.

Just hold it at Mount Panorama and be done with it.

They "did" Donnington for one year.. they could do Bathurst.

Just gotta make sure no Roos get on the track or it'll be "Red Bull gets you Roos"!!

Would be epic. I think it would struggle to meet F1 safety standards though, and the pit facilities would struggle
