Rombles1 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
NZ SuperGT

Does anyone know anything about this series?

Simon Wills and the boys at Team Dynamik have built a car for it, which from all reports sounds like a serious monster. He described it as being more anything-goes than Sports Sedans.... which I thought were pretty anything-goes anyway!

800 horsepower, 200kgs lighter then a V8 Supercar... That can only equal a lot of fun!

I know I've visited a website about the series, but can't find the link for it...

promax has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
try this site

the car will be up against an old 888 car, a number of Trans-Am styled cars and a rather mean TVR Tuscan!

I was in the Chesters pit in the round in December at Pukekohe, and the car is said to owe him well in excess of $300,000-$400,000.While it will definetly be a mean machine, I truly wonder if it will have the goods to outrun the Tuscan.That has had many seasons of development under its hood, top of the line equipment and a pretty handy peddler behind the wheel, but im sure with time Chester will be right on his bumper giving Carl a good run for his money.Chatters do you have any more pics of it?The only pics I have seen are of it in construction which Nick showed me at the meeting

They actually sit on a team member's facebook page... so the links are kind of a cheat...

What a machine!

Was it constructed from the shell earmarked for the long awaited but never built TD#004 supercar?

Nick flew to Australia on Thursday for his first drive on Friday last week...from memory.

Nick was really rather excited about it and the car will be a weapon. It will be interesting to see how it goes against the TVR and Owen Evans' 900 bhp Porsche.

I guess that Commodore would not be legal for OZ Sports Sedans due to engine size??

Duh no ****, given my understanding he was part of the mob on the black car, because he spends his whole life defending them, I was wondering if he had jumped ship to the car in this thread!

Unfortunately not . For those who may be interested it is actually a 412 cubic inch (6.75 litre) alloy small block chev. Has custom Morrison injection, and a custom billet Dailey sump (it's very nice) etc etc.

Also has Holinger RD6S, a large part of Motec's range, and a lot of carbon and kevlar.

Hopefully will have some test footage uploaded to Youtube soon if you folks are interested.
