A couple of quotes from KK in the local paper (the Courier Mail) sorry,could not find a link.
on a second Australian race;
"Yes we have talked about it,but my loyalty is with the Queensland government and I would not risk our relationship".
"If the government has an objection to another race than we would respect their wishes"
Team Australia;
"I would like to see some more national teams,following the experience of team Australia and Craig Gore".
"But to do that you need the involvement of someone like him in each country".
Honda:
"The issue about having two manufacturers in the sport is about controlling the costs"."Manufacturers want to compete and the way they compete is to spend more money".
"All of the sudden,you have a situation where you have the 'haves' and the 'have nots' and costs escalate"."Then,when they leave the series,you have a disaster on your hands".
"What we have got is a rebuilt series that is going very well".
