Rather a lot of engine failures and other technical problems mean he's not doing particularly well.
However you are wrong to say there's no coverage in New Zealand as it is shown by Telstra Saturn. |

I think telstra saturn is just in the main centers. Would like to see some races, they would be better than the F1 at the moment.

Some of it is also on sky,watched a race last week he was running as high a 5th? before a head gasket went ,which dropped him to 7th? by race end,the crew couldn't change the engine in time to do race 2.

the engine had to be rebuilt rather than a whole new front end being attached as the privateers cant afford these setups, unlike the works teams!

Aaron qualified 3rd at Silverstone for the Feature Race I think it was...he's had bad luck with mechanical failures on the car this year, and he never started that Silverstone race.

theres nthing wrong really with his car as its the car that won last years championship for vauxhall its just that a few driver errors and a lack of team funds have stopped him from competing in a couple of races.

Barwell's been at every race so how does lack of team funds cause him to miss races. :confused:

because they can't fix it -
his engine blew - Triple8 would have replaced it easily between races - Barwell couldn't as they didn't have the funds that would have allowed a spare built engine to be lying about. Therefore he missed the feature race. |
