It seems to me that we have been having a few power steering issues this year, more than normal.
Has something changed in the power steering department? |

I noticed on the schedule for Sunday that there were races for:
V8 Supercars V8 Super Tourers V8 Touring Cars This seems very confusing! Apart from the first does anyone know what the 2nd and 3rd mean? |

NZ V8 Supertourers NZ V8 Touring Cars I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the 2 series have different management, with some resulting friction in the NZ Touring car scene in the past??? Maybe olive branches have been swapped? |

There's heaps of discussion on here in the NZ section, but essentially it was a bit of a shambles resulting in the split regulations.
Olive branches appear to be getting swapped as we speak and the recent ITM500 was the first meeting both series' attended. Obviously fields could be better, so a lot of people are hopeful for a merger of sorts. How realistic this is, I have no idea. The V8SC (Fords and Holdens) all run Chev LS V8s, while the NZV8's run manufacturer spec engines to varying configurations and capacities (Toyota, Ford, Holden and a Nissan is currently being built). |

After Slade caused the aborted start, all the cars set off on a second formation lap, and eventually Slade managed to get his car going again, and preceeded to drive through the field back up to the 2nd position he was due to start in (ultimatly driving back into the pits at the end of the lap of course)
Was that legal? Normally if you cause the delay you start from the back. Would he have been allowed to start the re-start from 2nd place had his car 'cured' its problems on the second formation lap? |

I thought a couple of years ago Cocharne & cronies barred full time V8 supercar drivers from running in these NZ series. No they seem to be in bed with them. A quick question, how can a country the size of NZ support two such series? |

We can't. The Motorsport NZ-promoted NZ V8s is dying a slow and painful death.
Many wish they could just take it to the vet and be humane. |

Best keep the discussion of the NZ series to their own subsection. If we start all that over in this thread we'll lose track of the actual race meeting.

The race weekend is over Woolley.
A Ford bodied race car with a Ford engine won and all the Ford fans were happy. So were all the anti T8 brigade and a few Volvo fans. |
