Well buggar me!
I assumed after the "Simon Evans wins NZTC championship" that that was the end of it - but obviously not! |

My Favourite 08 moment was when Courtney/Besnard comeback drive at Bathurst. Courtney raced through to dominate the opening stint had 15 sec. gap to Lowndes who was in 2nd. In the 2nd stint a slowly deflating tyre (originally diagnosed as a damaged anti-roll bar) slowed Besnard's stint in Courtney's car allowing Whincup to assert dominance over the field rest of the race. On lap 160 S.Richards, fading badly on rear tyres was unable to stop Courtney move into 3rd place. |

Hi GB,
Surprise surprise, not only is the final New Zealand V8 Touring Car Championship on as it was scheduled, but there are 6 V8 Supertourers and 5 TLX cars entered, 2 invitation V8 BMW's and 11 TL cars, so some great V8 Touring car racing next next weekend at Pukekohe Park. 15 V8 Utes should also provide spills and thrills, as will the Super truck's no doubt A full field of 30 Actyon Sport Race utes will also do battle for the season honours. Whilst the GT Class 1 and 2 car's will also provide some great racing. So, weather permitting, it should be a great weekend of top class New Zealand motor racing. |

That does sound good then. I like the sound of the V8 BMW's, would they be M3's then?

I don't have a final entry list as of yet, however I understand that Steve Taylor has entered his TL car, as well as Jamie Gaskin, Brendon Murphy, Rob Wallace, and Dave Dovey, with the possibility of Brad Lauder and one other. Then there are all the regular TL competitors that have run on and off this season. So a minimum of ten TL's class 2 cars confirmed, 11 Class1 cars and 2 BMW M3 V8's one of them being Andrew Nuggets awesome new GTR replica. Should be good racing and a real mixture of different engine exhaust notes should also add to the sound of the car's. |

Plus one more
The NZ Touring Cars will have a host of new and returning faces this weekend, one of which will be Central Muscle Cars racer John Midgley. Midgley will drive the ex-Shane van Gisbergen Ford Falcon at Pukekohe Park Raceway on his series debut. http://velocitynews.co.nz/news.php?id=305 |

Can anyone confirm what Bob Murray said is true that the NZTC/Speedworks Events weekend at Taupo late last year had free buses coming from Downtown Taupo to the circuit?
