I believe the weather was fine in southland today.
Yes they do, the new MRX NZV8 car, not the original ST car
This has been in recent press releases.

Been in Chch lately? ;p
No dodging, accept the main issue, I.e. Legal action against the original Directors of VEEGA whom are now directors of V8ST.
just pointing out the obvious errors in your post, MSNZ have nothing to do with the legal action.

ST will have good lawyers and will be pretty sure of themselves. They are not mugs.

I don't think the weather has been Fine in Auckland for quite a while, although the last time I saw him (the weather man) was in Taupo. He ignored me

Ownership if IP is a pretty difficult thing to prove, when it is simply a rough idea that has been developed over time by a number of people and blurry as to what was developed, by whom and when.

What if you are part of a committee given a task, then you take those ideas and split.
Some dodgy dodgy stuff happened! Which makes the last weeks announcement interesting doesn't it.

Sorry, missed that one, what announcement?

Can I pose a general question here:

How exactly can anyone "steal" something that is nothing more than just a rough idea? If no money had been paid to third parties to actually make something, or draw something, then where is the theft? And if there was money paid it had been paid by the people who went their own way, how is that theft?

And if a person or company had been paid to do a design, and documentation of that design existed, and some of the people involved said, "Let's do this on our own," then if they weren't the people who had paid the money what reason would the designer have to go with them?

It's all very well to get emotive and use words like "steal" but let's just see what comes out in the court case. I suspect there may be some surprises for some people out there...

Would of expected more in the CC myself, but a good turn out of Muscle Cars and Honda's.

So only three support classes?
4 classes 4 sessions each?, 16 sessions
9am to 5pm 2 days is 16 hours.

one race each hour?

or am I missing something?

So th point of it is that they trusted the former directors to do something,
and they did not.

Which bit of that is untrue?

Challenge cup and ST's only have 3 races, Muscle and Honda have 4.

Saturday is Quali plus 1 Race for ST and CC, Quali + 2races for other.

I hope you like stunt utes

Hotlaps and an extended yawnfest I think. Spectators find it rather wearisome waiting for the action to start and having some promotional palava going on on the grid, where not all spectators can see anyway.

Get rid of it and put more racing on is what I say.

Have to admit I agree with you here. Not only V8ST's, but pretty much most big classes like V8SC's, WTCC etc. feel that need to drag out the start, maybe it is to "build excitement" - I don't know?

Drivers don't like sitting around in a hot car, mechanics and grid girls get sunburnt, spectators get bored etc. Only the media get any mileage out of it, which maybe is why they all feel the need to do it

I will use this time wisely to go make a snack and get a cold beer from the fridge!

Interesting; the chassis builders car in McLaughlins hands is quickest in 1st practice.

I am sure of 14-16 cars
Will eat my hat if required. But would hope to see the numbers there.

Quick time from chambers today in testing at Hampton!
First time driving a Nzv8, only just off the pace of Kayne Scott in same car.
only 8 x cars and covered by over 4 seconds-EPIC FAIL THEN,
clearly the attraction of this class is not there..

hope your hat is tasty .....................

Yeah was a little disappointing after being told we where number 15.
Not to mind. Was a tough day testing today.
Let's hope for progress tomorrow
