Johny Mac is supposed to be doing some sort of media deal next week, because they are all working over the hol's to get the second car ready, and signwritten, Frosty for sure as they are good mates, and JM is now a FPR man. |

Gizzfan. Can you please back up the claims you make. So far in this thread you have made many outlandish claims and name dropped various people with things that are simply not true. Last edited by Woolley; 31 Dec 2011 at 12:55. Reason: Last bit going a bit too far. |

Giz would be a good partner for Bairdo in the enduros, both aggressive drivers.

I'm not sure it's as clear-cut as that EP. You should deduct whatever you feel a two day test with driver-coaching from Murph is worth, THEN divide by five. Because the two day test is the big prize.

I like the concept of it, hopefully some young guys get a drive in it and maybe sway someone into an Enduro drive? NZV8's wouldn't be silly to do the same thing with their car, entice some young guys to try and get the money to buy one by giving them a drive, let them do some hot laps over the weekend instead of Tulloch, Proctor etc.

Agreed, it is a good concept. But more than that, I believe they have changed the spec from the current NZV8 one, by reducing the revs (and a few other things) in an effort to reduce the loadings through the car and hopefully make them cheaper to run. The exact opposite of what MSNZ have done by adding revs and a new carburetor option, which ultimately means more cost. And I have to wonder why?

Airfares already paid to get to Aus, they will only have to stump up a little themselves to get across the ditch, so some of the GC Internationals might find it interesting if they have no other commitments

As awesome as it would be for us spectators, I'm not sure there's many internationals who're in it for the "experience".... |

20 cars sold... and from the looks, 20 cars sold to fairly well funded owners...that's a pretty spectacular effort.
Be interesting to see if we see Fogg, Edgell or Tulloch in V8STs... As far as I see it, if I were TMC I'd be sweet talking the s**t out of those guys right now. |

Hmmm, only 9 cars on the NZV8's grid this weekend at Teretonga, and only 8 in the last race. First three cars within a few seconds of each other but almost half a lap back to 4th place. This is the "premier" series in NZ apparently.
Meanwhile V8ST have provisionally sold all 20 franchises for the season, while MSNZ still insist there be no compromise between the 2 series. Anyone see any writing on the walls yet? |

Interesting thread, just spent the last two hours reading it! According to the facebook site support classes will be the V8 Challenge Cup, Central Muscle Cars and Honda Cup for Hampton Downs and Manfeild and I guess local SI classes for Ruapuna? The site says V8 Challenge Cup cars will just do the NI rounds of the super tourers. Be cool to see F5000 on the bill at some stage North or South. Quite like the idea of some of these other classes getting to support the big boys. Guessing that the super tourers will have heaps of track time too with less support classes. Hope so, that Ford looks very tasty.

That is a good point though - maybe it will be all in the TV coverage. Can't see myself sitting through the freezing cold unless the weather is actually fine, which of course it could possibly be... Don't think I would do a pre-purchase in that vain hope though...
