Even if Shane only ran the Enduro's he will be back in V8ST and any body that actually knows SVG, will tell you that he is looking forward to it.
Its also true that there will be a reduced V8ST field at Highlands, due mainly to the significant cost's to the teams to go Cromwell, plus the timing of the event itself itself. My information is that there will be 14 V8ST + or - 1 car on the grid at Highland's
Many of the teams are struggling with budget because they have not been able to talk to potential sponsors over the annual NZ holiday "shut Down" period. However, I firmly believe that that there will be 20 V8ST at the Supercar round, and a similar number at the two North Island Enduro's.

Maybe ST could get Kiwirail as a series sponsor and get them to cover the cost of the ferries!
