mad082 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 If Rick wins Bathurst, I wanna see if He can call VB-sozzled bogans a 'pack of arseholes' with as much vitriol as Jim Richards could. doubt it. for starters there's his girly little voice. i reckon he'd probably just wet his pants and run off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/391004-so-will-sau-folk-still-refuse-to-watch-v8-supercars/page/8/#findComment-6233223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABBAi Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 First up, Not a diehard fan of V8SC, but will watch it because racecar. I don't get all punchy over some driver I watch and long to become. I have no brand allegiance. The V8SC brand is designed to entertain it's target Audience and it does so very well. Middle income Australians with families. What do people what to watch? Things that they can relate to. So having an Australian built car to base your racer from that resembles the car in the driveway is a smart move by the series promoter. V8SC is already heavily regulated to what they can and cant do with the car they choose to run. Control tyres, brakes, aero, basic cage design and layout, tank sizing and power. If you think a manufacture has a signifcant advantage over another due to any of the above, you are mistaken. A while back there was an uproar as the falcons (i believe) had a better aero package, to which The Holden brigade were aloud modifications to theirs to render similar results. This is all in an attempt to keep Jim Public interested with closer racing. The other thing that everyone has forgotten, doesn't care for or has their head up their 10-20y/o import backsides, is that the Falcon as we know it know will be no longer. Ford are going to an international platform that is most likely to be FWD/AWD, with rumours of v6 and turbo 4's. To Keep a Falcon in the running, the rules must change to accomodate this, otherwise it becomes a 1 make series. This in itself looks to be a big factor to how the ruling and plans for COTF has developed, which also means that it opens the doors to other manufacturers. Just my 2 cents.

The only 4 door sedan that Nissan sell in Australia is the Maxima. and it's not even RWD....but it's the only one with the right body. I forced myself to watch V8Extra on saturday to see if any info was forthcoming re the body shape or engine. As expected, they're on a slow-release of info. skaife (who would know), said he knows what the details are, but it will all come out in due course. The body style is "a car that is not available yet".

That would have been my next guess, a car that is already overseas or to be launched overseas soon and will be launched here in time for the 2013 V8SC series.

Risking Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I wouldn't be expecting 888 dominance next year. COTF is going to level the grid. Any single team or driver could shine. There is a dew guys who have driven specific tube chassis touring cars who could be well up the front next year. Look at the french dude cutting his teeth at the moment. Driven DTM and done very well, could be a real threat..... Doesn't seem like such a stupid idea giving him a drive when the cars of next year are right up his ally.

sav man Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I hope some other teams other than the kelly brothers run Nissan next year (i'm sure there will be).
