Just came home from Surfers this morning & spent 3 days at the track. Had a great time & Sundays race was a cracker but WTF was race control thinking black flagging Courtney??

General consensus around the track was to help keep the championship alive going into the final round. FFS! :innocent:

Theres way to much politics in the V8s & its killing the catagory.

As they say "you can't please everyone!" the funny thing is when you think back to the days of the production cars, Godzilla, Sierra, etc everyone at the time was bitching that the racing was too spread out and also that most people couldn't relate to the cars on the track. Also how could we forget Jimmy Richards and his "you're all a pack of bastards" comment?

I agree the cars are the same underneath with different panel bolted on but it is controls type racing and most things are kept the same to maintain close racing. You just need to look at the German DTM series and see that we are not the only ones with a limited make series.

Regarding the weekend just gone I thought it was a great couple of days racing and the spectical of seeing some quality International drivers made for some entertaining viewing. Just a shame the wrong camp triumphed in the end :innocent:

I didnt realise so many people like to watch the same car replicated 40 times with different moulds on top ! I prefer to watch manufacturers show each other just how sh*t the other is on the day with tyre choice, power, gearing, talent and a million other variables ! why is moto gp so good ? variety ! it is afterall, the spice of life ! :innocent:

how about throwing in c63amg,bmwm3 v8, or even lemans series and have all out competion cars,gt3,gt2,production, and have 3 or 4 catergorys and seperate championships but race all together, like the old days when we had vl v8s,bmw,jag,serrias,mustangs,gtrs,alfas. you could also throw in 370z,rx8,wrx,evos, the list go's on.

Don't we already have that? It's called the Australian GT Championship, not bad racing and my 11 year old loves watching high end cars get trashed but just like the Le Mans series you have no idea who is in what position due to the number of classes in one race. Lets face it, most series are like the V8's and have different bodies on virtually the same chassis. For example Nascar, Indy Car, F1, etc, etc. My opinion (and that's all it is) is I don't give a sh*t if all the cars are the same as long as the racing is close, they don't mind rubbing panels and they leave the politics to Canberra as this is what tends to tear most racing series apart and is becoming more of a problem in the V8 series.

I'm sure you are right on this. I just remember thinking at the time that it was a sad day for motorsport and unfortunately showed what pricks we Aussies can be as spectators. That is my opinion and I still cringe watching the replays!
