[V8SC09R19&20] V8Supercar Challenge - Nikon SuperGP 600, Gold Coast Qld

SuperGP on soon - Are the A1GP cars going to be there or not? Or will it be a Cochrane only show?

Even teams personel in a1gp do not know what will happen. The latest story is that teams (owed a lot of money) have been asked to send their team members to Queensland. The team I know, refused to pay their own fare so TT offered to pay the fares. This is despite all those owed money (£milions) being promised it nearly every week for the last six months. Think TT is desperate to get to Queensland as there may be some major problems (legal??)for him if they don't.

#25 for the win, with #9 and #4 in the minor placings... the improvement in those cars is out of sight!

The A1GP category must be pretty screwed right now.
To only get the court order to release the cars "now", means they launch into a season with cars "as raced" since last season...that's right, no preparation since last raced.
No preparation, no practice or testing, and no doubt there will be missing teams as sponsorship procurement would have been next to impossible with "nothing to show".

Holdsworth and Caruso to have strong runs - hopefully with that awesome livery still on one of the cars.

I hope that livery stays for them too. It would be good if both cars adopted it.

Bare minimum the blue headlights!

I'd expect the Jim Beam boys to turn it on infront of the home crowd too, after the dissapointment of bathurst Jnr and JC will be out to make ammends.

It is a very good tv livery. It stands out big time, as opposed to their standard livery which in comparison looks like it is covered in dust.

IF the A1GP side of things doesn't happen then it could be all change on the format front for the V8's at Surfers as well.

I'd be really surprised if a contingency plan isn't ready if needed. Maybe longer races or at least one much longer.

Could make life VERY interesting.

Any Long range weather forcasts?

with SVG's performance in damp/wet conditions at Bathurst he might be worth the nod.

Been a few years since the #25 driver has shown race winning pace up there...

Would be nice to see a SBR car back on top at indy though.

TSR has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Looks like the Black Wiggle will get his wish, with the v8 now going to be the only show on the Gold Coast. He has always wanted them to be the main show, well he has got it now.

Is there an official release from the A1GP lot confirming they can't come? Lots have been suggesting it...

And btw, you scored 1 out of 3 in your signature line!

Well could only really be Triple F (Dean Fiore) or Rod Nash Racing (Tony D'Alberto), but I wasn't aware that either was in a situation to pull out.

Dean Fiore seems the most likely as he had virtually no sponsorship until he put Troy Bayliss in the car. Didn't think he was that bad financially though. Can't remember there being too big an accident at Bathurst to repair either. Something is amiss...

Under the new plan, the Gold Coast's premier motorsport event will become the biggest endurance race held by V8 Supercars after Bathurst.

They will switch their race schedule from a 200km race on Saturday and Sunday, to instead hold four races in two days -- two 150km races on both days.

"We've never done 600km of racing in two days and never done four races in a weekend before, so this will be a first," said Mr Cochrane told the Gold Coast Bulletin and goldcoast.com.au exclusively on Friday.

"What we've done is worked with the Queensland Government to have a real genuine plan B in place."

Mr Cochrane alerted all the V8 Supercar teams that they would need to be prepared to race 600km instead of the 400km previously planned.

It would require them to completely change their car set-up -- some of the Victorian teams would most likely do that once they arrived on the Gold Coast.

Mr Cochrane said taking off 50km from each of the races would not compromise the strategic racing expected because refuelling and pit-stops would still come into play.

Each race would be for championship points and a 20-minute qualifying shoot out on Sunday for the day's two races would also be added to the schedule.

Fiore has a sponsor lined up for Barbegello, all of that money could end up going towards the fine for not showing up on the GC.

Where is the confirmation of 28 drivers?

For open wheelers maybe but atleast 5 years of Supercars before the next contract extension.
