Awesome news on the 101 Nigel, looking forward to that. Will it be full coverage, or highlights?
Agree with the above posters too, GTRNZ, Muscle Cars etc. |

How many entries does the 101 have since the SIERDC series has heft that weekend off their endurance calendar? Thought everyone had to work together. |

Hi Nigel,
A bit off topic, but I was wondering how far back the TV3 archives go, and if it's possible for mortals such as ourselves to get copies of events from mid 80s - mid 90s? And does it work similar for your mates over at TVNZ? I'd like to get hold of copies of the Wellington - Pukekohe races, and anything from the NZTCC from that era. Also, who remembers the Liquor King 500 at Pukekohe? From memory it was a bit of an all comers type race, but it was televised, so that would be cool to get hold of also. Thanks in advance. Sam |

rather surprised to hear the V8SC ratings have dropped. .. considering a majority of their races were shown around midnight. .. when the coverage was on free to air tv

Promax, the last two Rounds of Supercars have delivered great ratings because the Kiwi Drivers are doing so well... and long may it continue.. you mentioned in your Post that the majority of the Races were at midnight when it was on Free to Air... can Ī suggest you get your facts correct... the majority of Races were on Sunday afternoon..

Hey Nigel,
Was it just me or were some of the cameras in different locations? If so, nice improvement. If not, ignore me obviously too many beersies. |

I quite liked the drone shots they where getting. But given our govts recent decision to become American, I fear the drone cam may be deployed elsewhere as the actual RNZAF...

The shots I saw of the drone were at the sweeper, which may have been an issue due to close proximity to the highway? It might be viable to use the drone at other corners of the circuit that are likely to be 500m+ away from the motorway and less likely to cause a distraction or incident if control is lost. |

Big fields of cars, quality iconic cars, and heaps of spectators. Mr Quinn must be doing something right that we can all learn from.

i think there is only a handful of people that "don't get it" the paying public won't hand over their money to watch an empty track

Does anyone know spectator numbers for this years 101?
Tv3 did a story on it but you couldn't see much of the crowds. |

Last year's crowd numbers were declared to be around 10,000 if I recall correctly. But some have been skeptical about the numbers generated by Highlands. |

TV3 Today - was it 8 or 9 Utes?
Last week, 12 ST? Track limit, over 40 cars... I'll look forward to the broadcast from Highland Park. |

I think it was 11 utes socram. Still, a dissapointing turnout by the utes, ST's and NZV8TC.
The bad news seems to be continuing as we see the decay of top level v8 racing in nz, irrespective of which 'camp' you are in. Hopefully Puke turns out to be a goodie but i am not holding my breath. |

I think you'll find that was because they had the South Island Endurance Series there. Several competitors from the SIES entered in the 101, with that not there this year you're seeing fewer entries but still a few making the effort.
