But... HSV still exists!?
https://www.hsv.com.au/ Therefore it would be more precise to say "racer helmet" is the trademark of HSV, with permission from GM Holden, and therefore it will not appear on non-HSV associated racing cars? Last edited by V8 Fireworks; 1 May 2019 at 14:41. |

I guess it exists in some form, maybe it has a legacy somewhere. Otherwise it wouldn't be on the helmet

HSV is now a hollow shell; a cynical name sitting on tarted up 4x4s that weren't any good to begin with. I guess you could justify it on a RHD converted Camaro, in the same way the Tickford Mustangs existed - but they were horrible and twice the price they should have been too.
Nothing special, or really Holden about them. HSV died with the Commodore, IMO. As much as there were Astras and Pajeros in the early days, HSV really did its magic, and had genuine links with the racing through HSV/HRT. IMO it is appropriate that the mark was retired by mutual consent. |

Their fall from glory is also easier to accept when you consider they stole Brock's original HDT concept in the first place. |

Love the night races - kicking back on Thursday night watching cars on track is unreal.
Not sure about crowds/ratings, but for me it's a concept worth expanding (if feasible) |

The team radioed Whincup to let van Gisbergen through. Whincup replies "What for" to his engineer.

It could work, but which circuits would it work best at?

Can someone please give Simona a half decent bloody car!!! All this bs diversity talk, yet when the series gets a truly fast female she's relegated to Nissan - ironic considering it clearly is lacking compared to the Commo/Mustang. Parity adjustment anyone?

I would love to know what the conversation between Whincup and Roland Dane was in the garage before the Larkham interview with Jamie started. |

They also sit 1-2-3 in the points totals too. Presumably if the Mustang can still win through the adversity of constantly being nobbled, Holden teams will continue to try and find/invent further "parity" issues. |

Im not sure what was said last night on Fox, but i did hear it works well as BBG as its like a bowl type colleseum circuit with the banks high on the outside so the effect is pretty good.
Just a pity the infield pits cut off half the race viewing |

Pre-race interviews on the gird last night, when Crompton approached The Chaz...did The Chaz say "When you big guns come down to talk..."
Hope that is what I heard as it had me in stitches. |
