Explains why they're trying to kill off the 12 hour.

Typical suprecrap form, kill off all forms of motorsport other than their own sh!t show.

re the GTR, there was an article a month or so back, where heads of Nissan pretty much said that they have no interest in cheapening the GTR's image, by having it race in this category.

Completely agree with them to, Its currently running across the globe against supercars, and having it in this series against commodores would be a huge step backwards for it image wise.

+1.

Good to hear that.

Didn't know they were against the 12 hour?

V8 Supercars? Definitely are. They are against anything competing with them and have done everything they can to stop any form of motorsport thats not part of their show.

Its why next year they have the Eastern Creek test, scheduled on the same day as the 12hour weekend, and due to contracts with Supercars, drivers like Rick Kelly must be at the test, and now cannot drive in the 12hr.

The fact that they're moving to a multi car type / engine grid now makes sense why they're doing this, as it will compete directly with the 12hour, will just be for cheaper cars and shitterer (yes its a word :) )

Does that mean no more live streaming of the 12hr? Sounds like if you want to watch any motorsport, you'll have to get pay TV if V8's have their say.

It'll be streamed and channel 7 will be broadcasting the whole event on 7mate for 2015. Cool eh?

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
