And the supercar drivers were banned....

What's your thoughts on the main game drivers not being allowed to have a skid at the supertourer enduros?

It's ******. Fairly precious, me thinks. It's not as if they're GP teams.

Weak

I wonder if any of the motorsport publications will have a spine and report on this...... let alone have an opinion on it.

Pretty much. Cant think of any other reason that wouldnt involve an explanation. I think its pretty petty to do such a thing. It doesnt hurt anyone and gives the Kiwis the chance to see main game series drivers in action again this year.

Mind you if an individual team acting on its own barred their own drivers from going across the ditch for a certain reason e.g they believed it was too much of a distraction from their main drive, then that I could understand but I think the real reasons for this barring goes deeper then that.

If one of the drivers who wanted to race had real balls they could hit V8SC with a restraint of trade law suit !?!?!?!?

If they had the balls to do so...

I couldnt see anyone doing it, I think the hassle and harrassment they'd get from V8SC as payback would be enough to deter them from taking them to court.

So V8SC are a bunch of hypocrites. Hopefully next time foreign big names aren't allowed to drive in the V8SC enduro events.

Why are none of the Australian motorsports media outlets reporting this?


Like FIRE Says, it would be great karma if for future runnings of the Tax Money 600 at the Gold Coast, international drivers are not allowed to race there.

Hold on. Just cause SVG isn't going to do the rounds with Corkery doesn't automatically mean SC have 'banned them does it?

Is there genuinely more to this than a change of heart?

I can see that perhaps it has been suggesed that Shane stay away because Corkery has struggled for pace and it does him no good but that would be a team decision, not SC yes?

i would suggest that the apparent warning from cochrane to the SC drivers would be aimed at the top 15- ish who are getting proper salaries and who are the drawcards ,dont think murf would be on much now...more like next to nothing but can keep his outside of v8SC earnings up by still being labelled as current,,,,and fabian is still getting there in regards to status.....i would doubt that Wall,reindler,douglas,fiore etc would worry TC...and certainly wouldn't make anyone new go to watch ST enduros..

Pecky - see the first post and that might explain the lack of link at this stage.

Are you suggesting something like this would be out of character for V8SA?

Yes i am, totally.

Why was lowndes allowed to do the 12 hour race? Seems illogical to allow him to race there and not have others race in NZ

Now if SBR had said it, that might explain more.

But i will add, my sisters neighbors dog is from the same litter as TC's neighbors dog, and I'm told this is BS

Does V8's see the nurburgring 24 hour as a competitor? This may explain this.

Time will tell Peckstar - however you dont find it slightly coincidental between the initial post and Van Gizbergen's twitter post? Or are we going to hold our heads in the sand?

Would be good to see someone like Auto Action or Speedcafe do some investigating into this - but as has been discussed I wont be holding my breath for this to occur

But they would then be in Contempt of Court which is worse than any restraint of Trade.
