| 1302134 | 2012-09-20 00:58:00 | You look (or act?) like a Nissan? ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1302135 | 2012-09-20 02:17:00 | Im just wondering how it will work. Are the existing cars so far removed from actuall Ford/Holdens that it now longer makes any difference if other brands can compete? Didnt Nissan effectively get banned from Bathhurst as Holden/Ford just werent competitive ? I thought the whole idea of the V8 races, was the pseudo Fold/Holden rivalry, as thats what was the main attraction in the whole event ?? Plenty of other touring car classes in NZ, that dont the the same sort of following, from more casual type spectators . Will this kill off the interest in the long term ?? |

| 1302136 | 2012-09-20 02:47:00 | Yes these cars have to conform to the V8 Supercars regulations. I read somewhere that the Nissan V8 had to be detuned or something to meet the regulatios. Read my previos post. :) |

| 1302138 | 2012-09-20 07:24:00 | All classes have a list of specs, and at the top end of any race series cars are built to match those specs rather then entered because they happen to already meet these specs. Funny enough this creates the closest most exciting racing, which the Aussie series has served up in huge amounts. The new cars will have to be of similar weight and power, so those of you who think a good race is when one more powerful car beats a bunch of cars its not comparable to will hopefully be disappointed. If new manufacturers are entering its because they think it will gain them market share. |
