Is the Maverick team entered for the next event? They were testing a while back with Rollinson and Skeets having drives?

In the words of Grant Dalton......buggar.
I was looking forward to that. Oh well will just have to wait for puke. So will the format be the same as last time at HD? |

So are the teams happy about forking out all that money for 1 race this year and not use again for another 10 months.

Just had a thought....will there be any tension on or off the track with Percat and Morris? I seem to remember some 'issues' between the two in what was the Fujitsu dvs a few years back.

You would hope they could move on after a few years... could be interesting though!

In my view, the difficulty was in the time it took to get everything together, because in quantity nothing was on the shelf, and the inevitable delays, just caught everybody short. Now that everything is in New Zealand, it's only the car conversion kit's that have to be finished for both cars. There is also the issue that not enough thought went into how to store the fuel churn in a safe and convenient manner, so that still remains an issue without an answer at the present time, but can be easily solved within the next 2 to 3 weeks. I believe that everything will be ready and the teams well practiced by the Grand Finale at Pukekohe, and will help create a real endurance race as a direct result of the work going on right now. |

This is only a summary, should you read the full document you can see where some of the fish hooks come from. eg. do all the fuel churns have the correct approval etc. |

Definitely struggling to take ST seriously as a series any more. How hard can it be. Its taken them longer to find fuel bits and pieces than it took to build the cars (maybe a little exaggeration but I am sure you get the point)
Like the 2 above me, I'm calling bullshit too. More 2 driver sprint races, at exactly the same circuit as the last ones. I think ill be staying home to mow the lawns. Just as exciting and includes refuelling |

This is a question for Mark. What's happening with the Hyundai? Any chance of seeing some pics?

I don't know the answer to your question as I don't know (or really care) what the V8ST guys will be using. The SIES rules are approved & sanctioned by MSNZ and available on their website for all to see. They have a range of refuelling options available to competitors so that they can encourage those with both big and small budgets into the Series... Last edited by CDM; 14 Oct 2013 at 01:09.

More news....I hear Daniel Jilesen may be piloting the BOC car this weekend. With who, I don't know.
Also, the weather looks to be ok at this point (rain wise that is). However the models are predicting a fairly stiff SWer which could bring the temps down. However, as I have said many times before, these models often change right up to the day. Will keep ya'll posted (if interested) with my weather predictions as the week pans out. And Mark, I hope the prototype goes well at TITP.....are you going to dust off your gloves etc and be the driver??? if not, you can always pm me..... |

Why? Everyone knows that it would destroy whatever the record is. I'm more keen to see how fast the Prototype can really go. =D

If you have seen it run or even heard it run you would know why. Destory the record is the point Jack. We have a fair idea how fast the prototype is don't we? or have we had some mods? You driving it Jack?

I got a question . . . .
I have just applied and down loaded the LJ Hooker FREE FAMILY PASS from the V8ST website and it looks like poos! I don't think there is any chance of a scanner being able to read it! Has anyone else downloaded the free ticket and found the same issue? Were they scanning the tickets for the first enduro? |
