I thought this subject (NZ tintop future) would have been a red hot rugby ball being booted around in this forum.

(aside) Judging by the crowd numbers in for the Mad Mike summer bash I would suggest the future might include some type of drift element. (Though will the on-circuit crowd need to be issued with gas masks to comply with H & S because of the tyre smoke?)
qu- Do the current NZ touring teams want to race little rice rockets (AP4 type)at some stage in the future?
qu- With so many SUV/double cab ute type vehicles on NZ roads, would NZ's tin top sprint race class be optimally represented by a race vehicle similar to the 'Super Ute' category in development in Australia, so a continued trans-tasman ute class can remain? A pathway for the Ssangyong drivers wanting to move to another ute class etc.
qu- Would it more sensible to just to have the GT3s (as the tin top V8 Falcons and Commodores -bodyshell and space frame- age) ?
