An interesting calendar posted on speed cafe with a special Auckland event and an international event.

So wondering what the Auckland event is? Street race maybe?

Looking at the facebook site, it looks like a stadium event. Not sure it should be a points scorer, but it would be very cool to have a DTM style event and something new in motorsport in this country. Defintiely worth a shot - I'd go for sure.

The DTM event in Munchen was boring. After 2 editions the event doesn't return in 2013.

Three of the Seven Rounds so Far have been south of Taupo, thats 42.85%

Highlands looks like a great area to Have an event, and a new circuit as well

Sorry but the last time I looked the South Island was south of Taupo...

let's see..

Teretonga.. "south of Taupo".. not up to st standards

Levels... "south of Taupo".. not up to st standards

Ruapuna... "south of Taupo".. after McIntyre's brake failure.. not up to st standards

Manfeild... "south of Taupo".. hmm probably up to st standards.. but we'd rather go to taiwan

I think you'll find that the date pencilled in for the Auckland special event (I read somewhere that it wasn't going ahead) will probably shift to Manfield IMHO. As for Levels and Teretonga, Ruapuna and Highlands are only a short distance away respectively.

I really should ignore your posts Julie, but Manfeild didn't stack up economically after the first trip there, not to mention the efforts of a particular idiot official...

????? Can you say more?

flyingduck · 13 Dec 2012, 22:34 (Ref:3178481)

Hope they confirm the date soon so I can start keeping an eye on Grab a seat for cheap fares down there.

NZSTfan · 13 Dec 2012, 23:18 (Ref:3178491)

Great news if this does pan out. The Highlands complex looks wonderful and by all accounts will probably blow most others tracks in this country into last century.

Go the South Island!

promax · 14 Dec 2012, 03:47 (Ref:3178560)

that's true

it would also help if the st people would stop posting st crap in non st threads

NZSTfan · 14 Dec 2012, 04:40 (Ref:3178566)

6 of one, half a dozen of the other i think Promax.

So I saw somewhere that an ST is up for sale can anyone tell me who's car it is and what is the price? If you have a link that would be great.

Will there been any driver changes or new cars on the grid in the new year?

So is McIntyre still going to be racing, or do you reckon he will back right out of it? He seemed pretty angry after Ruapuna.

Cheap car at $0 though, wouldn't be able to build one for that...

I imagine he will be there racing, I guess he must have decided that running two cars is too big an ask. Pure conjecture and speculation on my part in lieu of any other information coming to light.

If I hear I will let you know.

John is running a single car V8ST team next season and a couple of challenge cup cars....same enduro partner and some significant livery/personell etc changes...........think he will be much stronger without the stress of a second car.......

Hi Raymond

One example from me, Cars in race 1 at Taupo being held at the end of the pitlane until all cars had passed not just the train when under the Safety car.
