My sister (ex Seth Effrican now in Perth) would love to race a V8. She did the V8 driving thing for her birthday a while back and just wants more......

She says her Audi TT doesnt cut it anymore.
Hey maybe if she got involved it would be like Danica, something pleasant to look at........

I can imagine......I did testing in a Formula Palmer Audi last year, and that was incredibly powerful......Now stand that next to one of 'em V8 machines and you could almost mistake the FPA for a push cart......

Julian Mayo wrote:Jason Richards has signed a contract extension til '08 with Tasman Motorsport. Jason has been with the team, run by Greg Murphy's dad, Kevin, since its inception in '04. There is no word about his teammate Andrew Jones.
Greg is rumoured to be unhappy with his present team.

Tasman MotorSport is set to be an all Kiwi line-up next year, with the pending arrival of Greg Murphy. I believe Greg has invoked a "Performance Clause" in his contract with Supercheap Auto to gain release from that team. The clause came into effect when Greg could not finish 5th or higher in the championship, which is now the case.
Greg has stated officially that he will see out the season with Supercheap, and willl only say that he knows where he will be next season.

John Bowe leaves Team BOC after the Finale at Phillip Island.
John has been with the team for 5 years, and leaves on good terms.

Following the major shunt at Bathurst involving injury to Paul Radisich, and a written-off V8Supercar, Team Kiwi Racing has secured funding for their race program in 2007, thanks to support from the New Zealand motor racing fans.
Well done all.

John Bowe to be the lead driver for Paul Cruickshank Racing in '07 ????

Andrew Jones from Tasman Motorsport to BOC Racing, replacing Bowe, and driving for his Uncle, Brad ???? With Murph an open secret to go to Tasman, it may be that Bowie has stepped into Cruickshanks team to ensure Andrew gets a drive

Jack Daniels Racing (Larry Perkins) might be looking for TWO V8Supercar drivers in '07.

Larry has secured a second Supercar licence and will continue a rwo car campiagn in '07.
he says he has one driver secured (Shane price?) and the second is TBA.

The battle of the booze?
To match his long time rival in Larry Perkins,it is rumoured that d#$% Johnson has secured Jim Beam as the major sponsor for his two car team for '07.
Expect an announcement soon.
