NZSTfan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Sounds to me more like some private entrants wanting to build something a bit different for exposure, and thinking of using a different bodyshell. Which begs the question, who will pay for the one off development cost of say a 5 series Bimmer bodyshell with aero kit?

Don't get me wrong, I am sure this class will be a huge success, but there seems to be a LOT of spin here by Mr NZSTFAN. Okay granted you are not Mark Petch as I first suggested (as least he had the balls to use his own name) but despite your early protestations at being "just a fan" you are obviously someone close to the series with a barrow to push.

Busted you reckon...if i had a barrow to push as you put it that would more than likely mean that i am loaded - which is soooo far from the truth.

Just get over it guys who diss me on here, i'm just enthusiastic about the new series, and yes, i'll be the first to admit that i am 'green' when it comes to motorsport, but i am in no way affiliated with any of the teams or drivers or anything (would love to be though!)
