Checking out the presentation at Taupo over the weekend regarding the new generation of NZV8s chassis Ross is enthusiastic over the future of his sport in New Zealand.
“I think the new concept is great. It’s going to be really affordable for the little guy who hasn’t got a big budget.. They can buy one of these cars and go racing and be competitive right out of the box.” he said.
The regulated racing chassis will be identical for both Holden and Fords but will be powered by engines unique to the relative manufacturer with body panels to match.
The Holden driver also likes the idea of opening the NZV8s to other interested manufacturers.
Motorsport New Zealand declared at the weekend of the final round in Taupo that the new generation series will accept any other brands able to meet the requirements of the NZV8s which was previously restricted to Holden and Ford.
"Like the idea but must warn we need to tread carefully and be careful with who we let into the series to retain the integrity of the NZV8s." said Ross.
interesting line..

On refection, it's a wonder that Nick didn't mention that thay had bought 2 MRX cars for next season, the second car is going to be driven by Nick's brother in-law Simon.
