Is this the correct place for this type of thread? Maybe more appropriate in the open wheel section.

Did the demo happened?

The mob at Supercars seemingly doing what they do best, it's been the same tune for 20 years...

Why the hell would Supercars be trying to launch an open-wheel category almost exactly the same as one already recently proposed and having had all the groundwork done?

Dumb idea and good on Roland for publicly poo pooing it.

The formula thunder concept is fantastic. Far better than a used parts dumping ground.

Depends whether we're discussing the defunct series or the Supercar involvement in it.

Thread is posted under the latter, so it's fine here.

In any case, there isn't a forum for open-wheel not-happening-series...

Does any of this come as a surprise? I'm sure that when FT5000 first broke cover, a Super5000 version was announced..

The interesting takeaway that I got from the two articles was that CAMS see it as a F. Libre car; and Warburton claims that they have kept the Category Management Rights....those two statements don't seem to mesh.

Duly noted.

Applying this approach - does that mean anything that supercars or Australian Touring cars has involvement in can be posted and discussed in this area of the forum?

I do recall a few threads unceremoniously removed due to be not being strictly 'Australian Touring cars' .

That's not terribly descriptive!

These are the kinds of things we can work with

Isn't that the proviso for any new Supercars event these days, it must be government funded and run by Supercars Events?

No bias. Couldn't be less interested in who or why. Circumstances vary, cases will be looked at on merit.

I'll see what I can do about dancing girls, on the grounds I married one.

Is the Supercars-endorsed one getting an outing there?

One assumes the FT5000 lap times will be the target?

There is no Supercars endorsed one.

Supercars pulled the pin on their involvement months ago

The idea was presented to the Supercars team owners during chief executive James Warburton's Vision 2025 address at the Townsville event last July, but was quickly rejected by the teams and the Supercars board of directors.

Given Supercars retain the IP, i'd say thats a sign they endorse it.

Similiarly if the car gets track time at any of their events (as was rumoured just before Clipsal), that would be another sign that they endorse the product.

But there was apparently no official plan to unveil the 21st century interpretation of an F5000 racer and Supercars has distanced itself from any involvement in the project.

"Everything else is people trying to stir trouble. It's as simple as that."

Im guessing that is what you are doing

Not really, Supercars were the ones stirring up trouble in the first place by proposing this when FT5000 had already been launched

What is the quote you are talking about in reference to, and who said it?
