Tasman's 2006 Car

TSR · 1 Mar 2006, 00:39 (Ref:1533596)

Tasman Racing launched thier 06 car according to the (offcial web page) for the supertaxi's, but the picture is very small to have a good look, but going off the picture it looks pretty good. Has anyone got a bigger picture of the 06 Tasman car.

Is this the former CART team?

TSR · 1 Mar 2006, 01:02 (Ref:1533615)

No it is the v8$upertaxi teami

Armageddon · 1 Mar 2006, 01:10 (Ref:1533621)

Check out the website, it has been updated. Side has a tiger head on it, new sponsor is Smorgan Steel.

How about using the correct name for the seires when someone from another country asks about it. Your asuming that everyone will get your now quite boring "supertaxi" gag.

No worries. I may be a yank, but I know the proper name of the series. I just saw the name "Tasman" and got interested.

There are people over here who refer to NASCAR as cabs or taxis. But your taxi series is waayyy better of course.

Mark Webber · 1 Mar 2006, 02:58 (Ref:1533646)

yes our cars are not real TAXI'S there SUPERTAXI'S

Pro Racer · 1 Mar 2006, 03:03 (Ref:1533647)

looks a bit to much like the toll livery but better.

spectator22 · 1 Mar 2006, 03:05 (Ref:1533648)

If you read MN you will find that Smorgon Steel is probably only the main sponsor for China (if it happens). A bit like some NASCAR teams, the team will change sponsors from race to race, according to feature story it is more economical for sponsors. New main sponsor coming for Rounds 1&2 and separate one for NZ round and so on. Striking cover pic of car in Smorgon Signs, wonder what they will do if China is definitely off.

Pic from v8 site.

bahodie · 1 Mar 2006, 04:13 (Ref:1533660)

Looks like someone's a Balmain fan...

Razor · 1 Mar 2006, 04:38 (Ref:1533662)

And they have HSV now, that is brilliant for them. But they have also gone to Classic Carlectables, I think in a few years, Biante will have to close down because everyone is joining Classic

Lame is very harsh.

Some people call it "the best touring car championship in the world"

Others call them Supertaxis etc. You decide which is lame.

Average Punter · 1 Mar 2006, 06:00 (Ref:1533681)

Can someone maybe drop the DJR Ford, Tasman's Commondore and the Toll/HSVDT machine all on the same page?

Poor Lee Diffey couldn't tell the cars apart when they looked different.

This year he'll have Buckleys!

V8RYAN · 1 Mar 2006, 06:01 (Ref:1533684)

there are people who call them V8 supercars !!!

have you not heard that one??

D.R.T. · 1 Mar 2006, 06:07 (Ref:1533688)

Yes there are. There are also people who call them 5 litre touring cars, my favourite was I once heard them referred to as "the fastest one make cars in Australia".

Does it really bother what they are called. Its all just a bit of fun and giggles.

Now thats not good from a Tasman stand point.

Mark Webber · 1 Mar 2006, 08:27 (Ref:1533733)

I must say its a good looking car .... I like it

Raglanparade · 1 Mar 2006, 08:32 (Ref:1533735)

Nice.

Armageddon · 1 Mar 2006, 08:38 (Ref:1533739)

Here are a couple more photo's, first one is from there site.

And this one scanned form V8X Magazine.

I think this is the best looking Holden out there, it will take abit to beat the looks of Ingalls car though.

pete55 · 1 Mar 2006, 08:50 (Ref:1533746)

Best looking car on the grid, bar none.

TSR · 1 Mar 2006, 08:54 (Ref:1533748)

Definatly the BEST looking Commodore, make the TOLL car look very cheap, well done to the boys at TASMAN Motosport, pity that it is a Holden.

Armageddon · 1 Mar 2006, 09:25 (Ref:1533766)

Here is a bigger and beter side/front shot.

Funny how the car has 23 on the side and 3 on the windscreen.
