It's a great system whereby if numbers are low, you don't really turn up for nothing. You're not guaranteed a jersey or medal just because you showed up. You still have to earn what you might win. I can't remember the actual percentages, and I can't find them anywhere, but there are percentage margins to gain a gold/silver/bronze based on how you perform against Australia's best time. You may turn up and walk away with nothing!
If you run across those percentages, I'd like to hear them so that I can have them in my bag of ideas

No, I saw it. It was kinda normal for me to drive 7hrs or so for a single race. It's just the cost of doing business if you want to compete at a level higher than local/regional.
I drove 16hrs to Canada for road nationals, flatted 45km in...race over. Just the cost of it all.
