2013 v8st
An interesting calendar posted on speed cafe with a special Auckland event and an international event.
So wondering what the Auckland event is? Street race maybe? |

Looking at the facebook site, it looks like a stadium event. Not sure it should be a points scorer, but it would be very cool to have a DTM style event and something new in motorsport in this country. Defintiely worth a shot - I'd go for sure. |

The DTM event in Munchen was boring. After 2 editions the event doesn't return in 2013.

I think you'll find that the date pencilled in for the Auckland special event (I read somewhere that it wasn't going ahead) will probably shift to Manfield IMHO. As for Levels and Teretonga, Ruapuna and Highlands are only a short distance away respectively.

Great news if this does pan out. The Highlands complex looks wonderful and by all accounts will probably blow most others tracks in this country into last century.
Go the South Island! |

So I saw somewhere that an ST is up for sale can anyone tell me who's car it is and what is the price? If you have a link that would be great.
Will there been any driver changes or new cars on the grid in the new year? |

Hi Raymond
One example from me, Cars in race 1 at Taupo being held at the end of the pitlane until all cars had passed not just the train when under the Safety car. |
