[iV8SC13R13,R14,R15,R16] Austin 400, COTA Texas USA: 17-19 May
Its time..
For a trip to the country where most of the engine hardware for the category has come from for the last 20 years or so... Its Texas Bruttha... Cowboy boots, Stetsons, A rootin-tootin-good-time... But... who might win this new event, a smooth track to be sure, but looks like lots of constant radius turns, pressure on the rubber. Can the teams run the 4 races as sprints, and keep the tyres under them... or will there be forced pitstops.. I am sure a number of these guys and gals have been modelling the track on their simulator softwares, watching the races already held there, to see the laps run by Mr Courtnry, Mr Coulthard & Mr Busch in the test car... Who's gunna win? #8... |

Frosty will get it done, pity their not using Road America, Atlanta, Sebring or Laguna Seca, they are better tracks imo.

I'll let you know what the place is like as I am heading over. There was supposed to be a group of us going and now due to work commitments and an illness I am the only one going.

Nice first post in the thread.
I'm really enjoying the series so far this year, and the new COTF regulations. Obviously will be good when the other manufacturers manage to get a bit more pace out of the new cars, but they seem to be making some decent pogress. A new track that no one has experience with is only going to be a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Bring it on! |

Nice work though, that livery looks the goods, it will stand out like dogs balls on TV, Stanley has been in the sport a very long time maybe time for them to step up!

Good grief Webb's car may have the ugliest livery to ever grace a V8 Supercar.
Looking forward to the race, something new for everyone and a great opportunity for the sport as well. |

Yeah-and theres been some shockers over the years but thats gotta be a contender. 'Export livery aside' they should've just left it as is, that looked pretty cohesive by itself unlike this abomination.

I normally wouldn't can something like that because I for sure couldn't do better, but that is fugly. The Quinns surely can come up with someone with a better box of crayons than that! Someone give them Willsy's number!!!
