According to yesterdays Auto Fiction teams with technical alliances will no longer be grouped for testing purposes...

What the hell prompted that? Team Walkinshaw needs to have more than 6 entries? Or have they just given up & resigned themselves to the fact that the series is organised for the sole benefit of HRT. I cannot believe that the likes of Larry Perkins, Dick Johnson or even Garry Rogers would have gone along with that. Sorry guys but you now need to enter 6 cars to have any hope in hell of being competitive.

Actually scratch that comment about Rogers - he needs to pay for his engines somehow.

Well selling the odd former enduro coupe engine to a tool in WA for 80-100K would help........

[djr81]

Does the tool, err, person concerned have a name?

Anyway rogers should be nicely cashed up after selling his dealership.

[GTRgeoff]

No name. GRMs engine builder was telling me. Was a bit saddened that such great engines wouldn't really be used in anger on the track.

Gary wouldn't mind to much if HRT get more testing as they are building his motors now

Mezera replaces Bond in V8 Supercars

Former Bathurst Champion and V8 Supercar driver Tomas Mezera has been appointed to replace another former racer Colin Bond as the Driving Standards Observer (DSO) in the V8 Supercar Championship Series and Fujitsu Series.

The 49-year-old Czechoslovakian-born Mezera will oversee the on-track conduct of the 2008 Championship field as the right hand man to the Stewards of the Meeting and Investigating and Prosecuting Officer.

Mezer's new job hopefully he can do a better job
