    Team Johnson (Merged)

    Yes Sally was bought by someone else, however a deal has been done for Steve to race it........not own it. A bit like the deal Bowe has with his Torana

    Team Johnson (Merged)

    Great to hear Steve will be doing the full Touring Car Masters season. I understand some rule changes have taken place that helps the weight of 6 litre powered cars. This will create a very intense battle between car 17 and car 18, 18 being a Torana and 17 being a proven weapon in Mustang...

    Hyperstimulator

    Post race burnouts.........BANNED!

    So the powers to be have now banned post race burnouts, the reason is due to the tight time constraints with the television coverage. "come on" is the person making the decisions on this sort of stuff a bloody nun? Next we will be running standard exhausts to keep the noise down, maybe even...

Are these changes good? Does anyone know who Greg Wheeler is? Is he any good? A major staff turn over since the end...

    Wayne Cattach back for 2011

    I have just read in V8X that Wayne Cattach, former V8Supercars CEO has rejoined DJR for 2011. I think this is a master stroke by Dick to get Wayne on board. He was running DJR when the team was financially strong and also performing strongly. Hopefully with his business knowhow he can return...

    Long break mid season

    What does everyone think about the long break mid season?. I think the sport looses momentum both with peoples interest and the media. What have mags like Auto Action or Motorsport News got to report on? If they really want to rival the other sporting codes, if anything they need to condense...

    Supercarnivale?

    Does anyone understand this Supercarnivale rules rubbish? Why do we have to introduce international drivers into our series for one race? Does Tony COChrane think that v8supercars should come under the same rules as a chook raffle?. Sure it would be great to watch some internationals have a...

    Soft Tyre Races

    I have read on V8supercars.com that the Barbagallo and Winton rounds will be run using only the soft option tyre. Im not sure how this will play out, but wasn't the soft tyre introduced to spice up the racing, create more passing and hopefully give some of the mid field teams a chance to run at...

    Its been a long time since DJR have gone to Bathurst with cars capable of winning the 1000 on outright pace. The team has done a great job in past years with cars that probably were not podium cars, but have been carried to deliver great results. . This year though DJR have top level cars...

    better or worse drivers?

    Are the current crop of V8 Supercar drivers better or worse drivers than guys like Dick. These days they are driving very high tech machines and to some degree perform like robots. I understand there is still an incredible amount of skill involved, but back in the day they really drove by the...

    Lucas Dumbrell

    Just read the terrible news on V8supercars.com.au that as a result of the formula ford crash at oran park, 19 year old Lucas Dumbrell (brother of Paul) has suffered major damage to his back and as a result is now a quadriplegic. Sometimes motorsport can be a cruel game. Really feel for Lucas and...
