Very strange and a strong case for restraint of trade.

I guess what interests me is the motivation from CAMS to prevent people from racing Australia - surely putting up barriers for people who want to race isn't in their charter.
Very weird

If Supercars hold the rights to the term "Touring Car" as suggested early in the article, how does the CAMS State Championship "NSW Production Touring Car Championship" get to use the name?

And if Supercars have the rights to the TCR technical regulations as suggested later in the article, then you can understand CAMS blocking this new series, but what are Supercars plans for TCR then??
