It would be good if some effort by the rule makers was put into shaking up the status quo that's gone unchanged for 4 years now.

They tried that with "car of the future" in 2013 didn't they? And it worked, plenty of new winners since then.

Triple 8 and Whincup are just simply doing the best job, and they deserve all the success they are getting. Up to the others to chase them and knock them over, just as sport should be.

Oh for the days when more than 2 teams battled it out for the podium and the championship being decided at the final round wasn't wishful thinking...

Try NASCAR. They have a new format you might like.

2 rolls, a very near roll and an airbourne, the Aussie Racing cars had a good race :P

Feels like Goody's Dash during speedweeks or something, small light cars on a fast track that doesn't take much to get them to turn over.

one of the best races of the year outside of Bathurst :flag:

So for those that don't know, Tander resisted the attentions of MCLaughlin for lap after lap, only to run out coming to the line, NASCAR style.

LOL @ the Holden guys climbing the fence to celebrate then Massa family style having their hearts broken!

Amazing set of races this weekend.... :metal:

Bleh, that's gut wrenching, we were so close but a great race.

Roger Penske pretty much all but confirms Ford withdrawing their support for the series

Quote:

AMERICAN MOTORSPORT mogul Roger Penske has confirmed that Ford is pulling out of V8 Supercars.

In a world exclusive interview, Penske revealed to AA that he is sticking with Ford for his entry into V8s next year out of loyalty despite Broadmeadows’ decision to withdraw.

“We felt that next year, even though Ford is not supporting the series going forward, it was the right thing for us to do to carry the Ford logo,” he told Auto Action during a flying visit last week.

Now they've closed a loophole that Rick Kelly amongst others were going to use to take part in both the test and the Bathurst 12 hours

David "in the" Wall will replace Robert Dahlgren.

Meh.

SBan83 · PostPosted: Wed Nov 26, 2014 12:53 pm

I thought Dahlgren would eventually 'get it' and run upper midpack atleast, like Premat did but no.

Also, Super Black will be running full time next year, with Heimgartner driving. And Ash Walsh has been confirmed to replace Lee Holdsworth at Erebus.
