There are a lot of former competitors that will be pleased with this. I know a few that could be interested in getting back in it with the Wards out of the picture.
Good ridance |

Abit out of line there i think
Irrespective of what happened politically, you have to remember that Phil Ward was the man who got the category going, and judging by the huge grids year in and year out, has done a pretty damn good job. The Quinn's have a hard act to follow |

We should celebrate the convergence of the Quinn Motorsport Future, of combining the Australian GT Series with the Aussie Race Cars, and from all accounts, maybe some more too. Lets see what happens next.... |

Of course the Aussie version of the Legends was just an American import.

Knackers is right, (how did I just admit that publicly ) Bob Jane stole the idea about running Legends around the 'D' from 'Humpy' Wheeler at Charlotte. (just like the Musco Lights too ) |

I wonder if new management will bring in new manufacturers rather than the monopoly that wards had. Maybe a Hyundai ARC car for 2013!

There's only one "manufacturer" - Aussie Racing Cars. or do you mean new body styles? Would be nice to see an update to the aging AU Falcon shell.
VE Commodore FG Falcon Nissan Altima? Chrysler 300C? Audi A4? BMW 3 series? Merc C Class? |

There is a couple of differences:
* one keeps the crowd interested with their shinanigans, the other is V8's * one does some good racing without interference from race control, the other is V8's * One is fighting back new entrants, the other is V8's Do I need to go on? |

Is there any truth to the allegations that the UCUs were tweaked to handicap the 'hares' and help the 'tortoises' (not mentioning any names, like the prodigiously talented Hayley Swanson)?

No, quite the opposite, the drivers with the biggest budgets or those able to introduce new commercial "partners" to the Creator allegedly seemed to get mysteriously fast engines.
