Motorsport NZ and TMZ certainly are linked financially. MSNZ is the majority shareholder in TMC so there is an obvious conflict of interest between their administrative role and their role of developing and promotiing motorsport in NZ.

The club/track I belong to has taken the view of neutrality, but especially with some of the PR releases MNZ has passed out, including the one sent the other day, I think it will be unfortunate if it drags license holders and tracks into taking sides. Personally I think Motorsport New Zealand needs to get out of TMC and let their interest get sold so they can get back to doing what they need to do. Let the market decide. If the market decides that they want the NZV8 Summer Series and a wholly separate NZST series and their categories, cool. If the market decides that they don't want NZV8's and the remaining categories get absorbed in NZST, cool. If NZST flops and the NZV8 summer series is what people want, cool. Let the free market and private enterprise decide. Let the public decide what they want to see and watch and support. This should not be decided via courtrooms, people whizzing on one another with press releases and emails, or any back room manipulation or other saber rattling ego boosting tricks. In regards to the FIA: So far Jean Todt has seemed to have done a much better job at the FIA, aligning it with doing what the FIA should be doing which is supporting all motorsport and assisting them in the best way possible, rather than pitting people against one another and trying to rule the world as the tyrant mad max mosely did. max mosely actually started off as a good FIA president and had the right idea and then decided to do the Tony Montana Scarface "The World is Mine" routine and got drunk on power. He wasn't serving the interests of motorsport worldwide at all. At the end he was no better than the previous tyrant balestre he replaced with much fanfare in 1992. |

So how come no super tourers for other tracks? Hardly seems right restricting it to 2 circuits.

Oh sorry I'd only heard of HD and Taupo. Was unaware they were going to Mnafield and Ruapuna. Why not Levels or Teretonga though?

I just saw a commy shell on the back of an ORIX trailer on the m-way. Looks like M3 racing have at lease one of their fleet.

They are calling themselves M3 racing, Manuell, Murphy, Moore. I think it was originally M4 with ?MacGlaughlin? or someone else beginning with M but that competitor went solo.
3 identical builds going on at the same time. |

Well I learn something every day, thanks. I think Paul has a lot of work on his hands but he's a very capable fellow. Good luck to him. I'm looking forward to this series kicking off, it will be great.
