V8 Team Ownership
Just thinking about our "Aussie V8's" and the breakdown of the countries that actually control the teams in the championship, and it appears our championship is truely becoming multinational. Maybe this could spawn a "nations cup" style of championship, such as seen in champ cars? (I acknowledge that this will never happen as it will isolate the V8's main marketplace completely for foreign owned teams)
Whilst the below list is only going on what I have gleaned by reading the sterling information that pop's up in forums such as this, and subsequently will be open for much debate, hopefully its resonably accurate!
Australia
Jack Daniels Racing
Dick Johnson Racing
WPS Racing
Super Cheap Auto Racing
Repco Valvoline Cummins Team
Team BOC
Team Sirromet Wines
Fujitsu Racing
Autobarn Racing
Glenfords Racing
New Zealand
Stone Brothers Racing
Tasman Motorsport
Team Kiwi Racing
Great Britan
Team Betta Electrical
Ford Performance Racing
Holden Racing Team
Toll HSV Dealer Team
Makes for interesting reading!

Spot on phase 3, wonder how long before more UK teams take over the taxi teams.

Tracy......Quite right, Paul Cruckshank [Glenfords] is a proud Kiwi.........Since we are attributing Team ownership to the nationality of the principle owner then TKR is an Australian team, as David John is a born and bred Australian!

On that basis, GTR, you could contest the ownership of TKR, PCR, and the fragmented Tasman team as allbeing Australian owned

No, but if the Russian accumulates his roubles and buys the team and/or the franchise licence slot, then it quickly becomes an operation with Russian owners. Assuming Russia actually still exists as an entity.

Almost everyone throughout NZ!
Mr John has lived in NZ for 15 years and never hidden the fact he was born in Aussie.

Last time I checked Skaife still owned HRT and the kellys still own HSV teams.
