Overall, it looks to be a promising future. The only thing left to do now is to fold NZV8's into the V8 Challenge Cup and bring on the rest of the support series.

Had a chat with the v8st tech staff on sunday. They are still getting parts in, so were running a bit short over the weekend. Hence the reason the drivers didn't commence playing bumper cars until the last race of the weekend! The official word on crowd size was 20,000 over the weekend, while it was the largest crowd ive seen in NZ motorsport in a long time, 20,000 was probably a little bit generous.
