Just pointed out the contradiction when the person responded to my comment, its called debate. Its not like i trawled through different topics months apart to try get a gotcha moment on a poster over a personal issue
are you going to talk about motorsport, as per forum rules? Or about me? Anyway V8 sale. might be a good thing. Might not be time will tell. |

It would seem trouble in media companies have depressed the market. I wonder how Cricket Australia is going to go with the BBL.

The fact that they couldn't get anywhere near the $100 million sale price (a 3rd of which they bought it for) must be concerning. How much does the uncertainty of Gen2 contribute to this? |

Was the sale a dummy to secure the rights to GT3 off Tony Quinn?

That was always going to be the case.
In 2011 you had more cars, races in Homebush, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and a newly signed deal to race in Texas What we have now is nowhere near as attractive price wise from a buyers perspective as it was in 2011 Quote:
I don't know that buying the Australian GT Championship promotional rights for the series really ads a lot of value does it? It just gives them more control of their support acts. |

It's nothing to do with controlling everything. 100% back up plan for Gen2 failure |

I wouldn't blame external forces for this. I blame the series. Pure and simple. Gen2 is a mess with so much uncertainty. I can't see any manufacturer joining in the next two years. I can't see a Mustang unless Ford pulls it thumb out and gives the OK to Penske to do such a thing but it makes too much sense for Ford Aus to do such a thing. If Nissan have any brains they'll realise that anything short of a GTR won't get the ROI they need to sustain a seven figure sum per year. You're running a Pulsar to replace a car you don't sell any more? To quote Shania Twain-that don't impress me much. No Kia no Jag no Alfa. No idea. Pity so many idiots were taken by those renders |

They could just adopt GT3 regs for the Supercars Championship, there is no need for them to buy the promotional rights to AGT to saferguard any Gen2 failure |

Tony Quinn owns the rights to running GT3 regs in Australia. Without that Supercars can not run them.

Also isn't Supercars classified as an International series, while AGT is a National Championship? |

Absolutely nothing to do with CAMS, or national championships. Tony Quinn owns the exclusive rights to running GT3 regulations under the SRO.

It's a cost and time effective backup plan all the teams just need to do is buy new customer cars over manufacturers or get factory backing (which would be much easier) and it's pretty much good to go

Ratel created the formula, but they are a set of FIA regulations which seem to be freely used elsewhere in the world, why would Quinn get exclusive rights to GT3 regs in Australia? |
