V8 Supercars Who Has Given It The Flick

[01txr]

Finanial agreement isn't that a bribe?

How can they allow this .

How unjust & bias is the rules.

If it had been FPV & Stone Brothers they would have been stripped of all race / round wins and been fined, penalised with no testing allowed for the next 50 years, start from rear of grid every race for 100 years.

Bit over the top on there but hay it might as well be that way.

So does this mean Ford teams can do like wise until found out and then pay Tega $5 to make everything right once found out.

Will also not be penalised in anyway.

Will agree with Tega keeping a close eye on them so if they do it again they can get another $5 in there pocket.

Had enough will not watch v8 superholden championship until I have heard of hrthsv being penalised for there cheating ways.

I hope We get a good number of people here that agree that TEGA need to stop there bias decissions and show how much it would hurt the fan count.

If anyone has any links to be able to spread this throughout other Ford forums that would be benificial to the cause.

Even if we could start a poll up on it even better.

Who's with me on this?

Load of crap, protecting merchandising knobs and sponsors, while taking away some of the series integrity

Expensive Daewoo Racing Team clear for the V8 Supercar Championship Series

Release Date: 16/03/2007

The Expensive Daewoo Racing Team will be on the starting grid for round two of the V8 Supercar Championship Series in Perth next weekend.

Skaife Sports and governing body Touring Car Entrants Group Australia (TEGA) have reached agreement in principle to a financial settlement that will see the team have their licences to race reinstated upon signing of a deed of release early next week.

The agreement was reached by both parties today after weeks of complex legal scrutiny to ensure that Skaife Sports is compliant with the ownership and control provisions of the Team’s Licence Agreement (TLA).

TEGA Chairman Kelvin O’Reilly: “Conditional upon TEGA’s approval of certain agreements, TEGA will be satisfied that the Team will be compliant with the relevant provisions of the TLA in the future.

“The Team will be subject to stringent regular and random checks and disclosure to ensure ongoing compliance with the TLA and could not expect any leniency if breaches are detected.

“It has been an extraordinarily complex issue that has taken a great deal of time to work through and TEGA is satisfied that it has reached a commercial settlement that is in the best interests of the sport, the fans, sponsors and associated stakeholders.”

Skaife Sports Director Mark Skaife: “We at HRT are glad that this situation is being resolved in a positive fashion and we can now fully focus on the business of going motor racing.

“It is unfortunate that this situation has occurred and we look forward to a positive and co-operative relationship between the team and TEGA in the future.”

The TLA is designed to ensure that every team competing in the V8 Supercar Championship Series does so on an even footing.

It requires that teams are independently owned. It prohibits a situation where there is cross ownership or control of more than one team. The benefits of ownership are personal to the legal and beneficial owner of the TLA and a controlling interest cannot be transferred to any other entity without approval of TEGA.

Those persons who are granted a licence to compete must be of good character, and undertake to compete fairly and professionally and have the appropriate knowledge and qualifications to discharge the responsibility of a team owner in the best interests of the V8 Supercar Championship Series.

No one here would be aware of the details of this case.

They've been cleared, get over it.

It's better for the sport that they're still in it.

Nah, I'm over it. No more of the crap for me. I had to endure all the years of the AUs racing with NO CHANCE of ever winning a race under the one-sided rules. However I DID endure it just to support the Ford teams and drivers who were busting their guts. I'm not going there again.

I'll go to the cricket before I'll ever go to the V8s again.

Best thing to do have a ford v8 supercar race and a Expensive Daewoo v8 supercar race then there will be no more whinging about tega supporting Expensive Daewoo or ford when there is friction between teams solve all your problems

Adam how could it be better for the sport when hrthsv are allow to do what they please to win.

Tega need to have a good look at the fan base instead of taking bribes from hrthsvgmh to allow them to get away with it all.

Iam quite sure there are other gmh teams in the sport that would like to have same rules applied to them as hrthsv so they to can be competitive.

Than on the other hand I suppose it is good for the sport as if hrthsv where under the same rules as everyone else there would be no competion form gmh and all Expensive Daewoo fans would not come to the races as they may not even get a Expensive Daewoo in the top 5 positions or more realistic top 10.

Who has been the only teams to put the race to Ford for the last 3 to 4 years, don't worry don't need to answer that one do I.

I would prefer hrt / hsv both to be there in the race but be under the same rules as everyone else and not be able to pay off tega to have there advantage.

Iam sorry to say but tega has lost all its credability with this decision.

Not even the slightest of penalities applied .

Maybe I should not be so harsh on them as what hrthsv have done is nowhere near as bad as Lowndes jumping the kerb to avoid a accident and being penalised before given the chance to correct placing or Ambrose being penalised for not wearing his balacrava. Man didn't Lowndes and Ambrose get off light on those one's

I will also add that there is a group of 8 people including self, that all meet for every V8 round and attend local rounds that have all said that they are not bothering to have anymore to do with the v8 series after this .

We have the numbers to form a indoor cricket team so may start doing that instead.

I hope hrthsvgmh havn't got there hands in that sport to.

Adam how could it be better for the sport when hrthsv are allow to do what they please to win.

Give me 6 examples of this.

Tega need to have a good look at the fan base instead of taking bribes from hrthsvgmh to allow them to get away with it all.

Do you have any proof of this?

Who has been the only teams to put the race to Ford for the last 3 to 4 years, don't worry don't need to answer that one do I.

Your point is?

There's only been 2 Ford teams to take the race to Expensive Daewoo aswell.

Maybe I should not be so harsh on them as what hrthsv have done is nowhere near as bad as Lowndes jumping the kerb to avoid a accident and being penalised before given the chance to correct placing or Ambrose being penalised for not wearing his balacrava. Man didn't Lowndes and Ambrose get off light on those one's

God your so one eyed!

They got drive through penalties, happens all the time.

How about Dumbrell I think it was who hit Jack Perkin's last round when Jack's car shut down and slowed suddenly? That was harsh.

How about the toughest penalty is V8 Supercar history...

The 5 mins Murphy copped at Bathurst?
