How long will it last?

Auto Action today reports that NZV8 organisers are taking the V8SuperTourer directors to court, seemingly primarily to do with who owns the IP of the chassis design.

NZV8's is a dying series, there are about 12 cars competing in it this season, it's absolutely pathetic, all the top drivers have moved over to the V8SuperTourers and that is where the future of touring cars in NZ is, this court action appears to be one final effort by the NZV8 organisers to show themselves to be complete pricks, NZ isn't big enough for there to be this much in fighting, but I'm not too fussed either way, I much prefer watching the Toyota Racing Series!

Kinda like in Sweden then, where STCC is dying. Sportmanship must prevail, or the sport dies completely.

yea pretty much, there will be probably no cars in NZV8's next season so they're a sinking ship, I guess they're in shock from being the No1 series last year to suddenly being on the verge of collapse, what doesn't help is all their friends in Motorsports NZ are being awkward to the Supertourers, but at the end of the day it's the spectators that will have the final say

Greg Murphy's Pepsi Max vomit:

i like it!

An improvement over last years schemes to be honest.

Better, but WTF does lime green and tribal watermarks have to do with Pepsi Max? Considering the colours of the actual product they could come up with something much better looking and more relevant to the brand.

The Bathurst 24 hour is on today also, got some mates running the Maranello motorsports 458, gunning for them! Hope we get some kind of coverage?

You mean the 12 hours on sunday?

There will be a stream here: http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-sport ... 6271309515

Final 90 minutes live on SPEED for you aussies.

oops meant 12 hours. Thanks for link!

Easily the quickest car in the field until the rain hit, despite a few problems.

Simonsen was clearly the quickest man on the track, especially during his fightback after the first electrical gremlins hit the car.

Spy shots of the Nissan Altima which next year's entry will be based on: http://blogs.insideline.com/straightlin ... video.html

Best regular race of the season almost here! Super excited for it, always a cracker to watch them around Radelaide.

That Altima looks dreadful as well. At least the team I dislike the most is running them.
