"Once the series goes 'live' and its plastered all over TV screens i think we will see an evolution in NZ touring car motorsport, and the fans should flock to these events."
"Live" (assuming you mean live TV coverage) and "plastered" is hugely expensive, and that raises a question that's been on my mind for months. Who's paying for that? (We don't have "live" coverage in NZ anyway, we have "same weekend"). V8Ute competitors in Tier 1 all contribute a big chunk of money in their entry fees to pay for TV, so NZST will either have to attract a sponsor with deep pockets (Holden or Ford or both?), attract support classes (with money) to run with them, or cover the cost of TV coverage themselves. Wouldn't that ultimately mean the teams will have to put their hands in their pockets? I wonder what NZST entry fees will be!
