In fact, just seen an ad on TV3 for the supertourers, 3pm sunday. You should lock it in, you may enjoy it.

Also stated in the email the TV3 staff very concerned!

Well that's the most factual post in a long time!

Hey Brick, take a lesson...

That's interesting isn't it? Haven't heard a peep out of Reid, may be focussing on Porsches this year only?

Be cool to see one of the youngsters in it - Waite, Bamber, Cassidy someone like that.

[QUOTE=Member CCC;3203381]Ok I will stay on the subject R1 -V8 SuperTourers - Hampton Downs may not even happen! From what I read in an email today unless Hampton Downs are paid their circuit hire money in advance the gates will stay locked!
TV production in doubt once again money not paid probably no TV!

My prediction there will be no R2 -V8 SuperTourers - Ruapuna thread

Have you been Smoking your Crystal Ball again???

Hi Joe,

Good luck with anyone shutting me up.

I had my boss Nigel on the phone just last night yelling orders in regard to the weekend's assignment - So these comments really are news to me.

Neither side of this debate apprears to be innocent of chucking crap over the town walls. Do we block our ears...nose...or both.

All the drivers (the people I prefer to deal with) are fizzing about the first round.

There are 20 previous Technical regulation updates, and probably at least another 15 more over this next season, in fact #22 is being sent to the Teams today.

I could understand clipping bits and pieces from the regulations that may illustrate a point you are trying to make, but rolling out a whole bunch of words without the pictures, to best illustrate updates and changes,much of the subject matter you have posted does seems pointless.

We publish all of our regulations, pictures and all, on our website, as you no doubt know, and any team member with authorised access can down load them at will, which is probably what you have done, and then deleted all the pictures, so they are not exactly secret squirrel activities!

It was sent to me from a friend. I just copy pasted as I have no idea how to add images.

MacrosNZ · 13 Feb 2013, 06:44 (Ref:3203919)

You put

and

around the picture URL.

www.iforce.co.nz is a good free image host.

Johny Mac's new Falcon

The clashing greens and deluge of minor sponsors kinda kills it. Still looks alright though

Goat Boy · 13 Feb 2013, 10:38 (Ref:3204012)

Good looking car, really like those rear strakes

flyingduck · 13 Feb 2013, 19:02 (Ref:3204166)

I'm just wondering does BNT go on the cars anywhere as the series sponsor?

Hi FD,

Absolutely, BNT decals replace last years "V8Supertourers" black decals, on the leading edge of the front bonnet, and on each front door with larger size decals.

These decals will be handed out to all the teams tomorrow.

FYI. BNT are not the Series sponsor they are the V8 Supertourers category sponsor.

Cheers,

Mark.

Whats the difference??

flyingduck · 14 Feb 2013, 04:16 (Ref:3204353)

So it seems like some who said there would be no round 1 may need to review there sources of info?

Did you really think that the poster (can't be bothered to remember the name now) would be right on this one?

I too am waiting with baited breath to prove that person wrong, as i will be at HD 2moro, and saturday and sunday.

I will also be recording the TV package.

Methinks the gates wont be locked, everything will run to plan, thousands will be in attendance on sunday, and TV3 will put out a great TV package.....just like last year

flyingduck · 14 Feb 2013, 05:00 (Ref:3204364)

No I was surprised to read it was going to be off as the team I sponsor had told me its all go.

So who do people think will surprise?
How will the giz go?
How will teams cope with the schedule?
Will there be any engine dramas?
Who will win the round?

HProject · 14 Feb 2013, 05:28 (Ref:3204371)

Here's the Evans-mobile

(coughblackrimscoughcough)

Looking forward to popping down there tomorrow for a bit. Will only be there in the morning though.

HProject · 14 Feb 2013, 05:36 (Ref:3204372)

Also just shown off - Richard Moores car. Blimey. This thing looks cool

BackSeat Driver · 14 Feb 2013, 06:26 (Ref:3204396)

I thought that car had been sold to Penny? Obviously incorrect on that one.

I understood it was too, but apparently things went pear-shaped.

I am not a fan of totally black wheels...
