2009 Aussie Racing Cars

Tony C · 15 Jan 2009, 03:42 (Ref:2371757)

Has anyone confirmed that they are running in this category this year?

We know that there are quite a few cars for sale, and Ive heard that more will be staying in the shed, but will any be running?

on the support catagory calander for Supercars there are no rounds listed for them or Biante and FF.

Paul Kemal confirmed not running, and his Championship car up for sale.

Belly13 · 15 Jan 2009, 23:42 (Ref:2372385)

I'd rather watch Aussie Racing Cars than FFord and Carrera Cup

Where will Aussie Racing Cars be racing this season, and what of Paul Kemal?

Muznik · 16 Jan 2009, 02:06 (Ref:2372435)

According to ARC website

http://www.aussieracingcars.com.au/

They claim the next round is Clipsal 500 Adeliade 19-22 March 2009.

Jacob Black · 16 Jan 2009, 04:04 (Ref:2372457)

god i hope they run, also i hope someone gives me one for a round or three.... not too sure of my chances though...

alfacors · 16 Jan 2009, 05:26 (Ref:2372471)

Kemal has spent 8 years - had enough, and now spending more time at home and doing fun stuff like track days and maybe some tarmac rallies.

Kyle Clews will be racing, with a change of body shell & livery!
Those rounds advertised are only a draught and we will be at e/c with the superbikes and a small chance of bathurst as well. Should be a great year!

Since when do ARC race with superbikes? Is this a definite?

Well it is a bike engine

mildura1963 · 16 Jan 2009, 23:20 (Ref:2373081)

It will be interesting to see if the Nissan GTR body ends up happening...

Wouldn't Calder not having a CAMS track licence create a problem?

greenracer · 19 Jan 2009, 05:32 (Ref:2374218)

Received an email stating that Calder Park has decided NOT to have any circuit racing there this year.U/2 litre s/sedans had to re-arrange their calendar as a result

MrX · 20 Jan 2009, 01:40 (Ref:2374960)

To all those who have PM'd me i wont release info until i know 100% that it is factual, stay tuned i suppose...

Malfunction Junction · 20 Jan 2009, 05:34 (Ref:2375024)

I'd rather have my post back, I didn't think it was any more ridiculous that some of the topics that have seen pages and pages of rubbish written so far......

So is Kyle going to be in a Toyota or a Nissan or Merc???

MrX · 3 Feb 2009, 00:31 (Ref:2387039)

I see Paul Kemal has pulled the pin on ARC entirely and has his car up for sale... does anyone know who from the 2008 series is back or out?

Looks like Kyle Clews will be the only driver willing to put up his hand. The others could be waiting till the calender is finalised..... but then again it may never be final.... Sandown was 'dropped' suddenly last year.

YES!

MrX · 5 Feb 2009, 05:59 (Ref:2388676)

Well if Kyle seriously is the only one putting his hand up is the series going to be full of wannabe racers without pedigree???

Will there even be a series???

Tony C · 10 Feb 2009, 02:11 (Ref:2392088)

With Carrera Cup and Minis scrapped from the V8 calender, and rumours of the DVS series struggling for numbers, will Aussie Racing Cars be next???
