I can see savings there!
And who was waffling on about "weekend warriors"? Virtually everyone in Tier 1 has a business or a job to worry about week-days, and if they are lucky they get to put a helmet on in the weekends and go racing. Hello?

I know the costs and I know that Anguss could not afford a ST, I should of expanded on that weekend warrior thing. Drivers that want to race without those who make up the numbers getting in the way and causing damage.
I agree about the costs, having to crack test the gears after every meeting and all.
Seeing as the new owner of the new NZV8 prototype is a stickler for the rules, it's kind of funny his son would not run a ford badge on his grill as is needed in the rules. You know it may seem a small thing but rules and all
Those that can afford it and are over all the bull**** that comes with the NZV8s and the TMC have moved on.
