Is free speech not allowed here?
This is an internet forum. What individuals say here is not bound by the same laws ad if we were say printing a magazine. |

You are indeed bound by libel laws and judicial orders such as suppression orders just as much in these forums as you are in print. If you put down libelous terms such as "stolen" then the owners of the forum can be sued for allowing it to stay online, plus if you breach a supression order from your country the authorities will come after you and you will either get fined or go to jail. Maybe you need to get your head out of the sand. |

It might also be worth mentioning that invoking the ire of Woolley has in the past resulted in banning of all NZ Touring Car topics from this forum for about three years, so I suggest you pull your head in.

Not true at all.
Been there done that I won. Its different if there is. Suppression order though. There is no suppression order relating to this case so free discussion is allowed. Or are the admins if this forum taking sides? |

If you keep making libelous comments or comments that could be seen to prejudice a trial, then this thread is likely to get pulled, or you are likely to get banned. Suit yourself. |

He suggested your refusal to heed advice from a mod, on a forum where you are a guest, would most likely have consequences for you and others who are interested in discussing NZ motorsport. |

Woohoo, chill folks. All I'm saying is please THINK CAREFULLY before posting. Casting accuasations such as 'Mark Petch board effectively stole the whole project' are really not acceptable while a case is before the court. You may think it's the case, you may even have something that you think proves it to be so - or not - but we're now in a situation where the facts will be presented in a legal situation and it's best to see what results from that.
I have no favourites - in fact I've been accused of bias by both sides, so I've probably got it about right! I've also no information that's credible that would sway me either way so no point in trying to persuade me. Once the verdict is announced - and I suspect it will show neither side in a great light, then the gloves will be off - as long as we stay within the forum rules. In the meantime I merely ask you to be circumspect. I really don't want that to happen again, and no reason why it should if a little common sense is applied. It may not seem like it sometimes, but actually NZ is my favourite place in the world, populated by my favourite people, so keep me happy! |

Supertourers looks to South Africa:
http://www.speedcafe.com/2012/02/20/...can-expansion/ One factual error in the article is that it says the Commodore is not sold in SA. It is, just under the Chevy Lumina banner. I follow South African motorsport, not as closely as motorsport down under, but I do keep my eye on it frequently. I think it would be big shot in the arm for local motorsport as the Wesbank V8's(trans-am, sport sedans) has stagnated and the production car class is like all production car racing, OK, but not spectacular. Hopefully it will work out for them. |

I hope it works out for them too. I must say i didn't realise how serious comments on here can be taken in a legal sense......i will therefore shutup about my feelings to the court action until its all over in court. Although i think the moderator is right in saying that this court case will more than likely show bad sides of both parties. As i've said before, someone will loose out. |

did the SA's have series similar to the Abu-Dhabi V8 Supercars or did they race Tranzam style spaceframes?

I've watched almost all of the TV3 coverage and everything looks pretty good, cars sound good, look good and looks like the crowd turned out. It did not feel to me the cars could run as close or lean on each other as much as the old NZV8's. But I also picked up the vibe drivers were pretty sensitive about putting a scratch on their cars right now and everyone was still getting settled in.
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. |

I forgot one thing. This forum is based overseas. So the laws involved maybe a little murky But here in NZ law nothing I have said is against any law or any thing. Non one would be able to try and press a case against me, or the forum in NZ law. That I have checked out personally as a have been threatened with lawyers before as a result of comments on a forum. Needless to say it never got past the threat stage as the lawyers told him to sod off Anyway point taken |

Now, back to the ST's
I too think the camera work needs a bit of modification. zooming in way too much and excluding other cars from the frame needs knocked on the head. The rest of the TV package looked pretty good however. Seems to me the number one issue they have is support classes. This is the thing that will kill weekend track attendance. And maybe the weather in the months to come. Previously mentioned car issues shouldn't take much to sort. Oh and I do wish they would stop saying "Fords" Henry is rolling in his grave!!! |
