2004 Scv8
What's what and who's who with the SCV8 at present?
Haven't heard or read much about it for a while? |

It's been postponed for the year from what I last heard.

It's been canned for 2004, there is a thread about it in National & Club Racing

I don't think we'll ever see it race.
File it under Premier 1 Grand Prix, Challenge Initiative etc |

I guess there's nothing more to say on this thread. It's a shame because the cars themselves look fantastic, and it could be a low-cost, high-thrills series if it gets up and running.

Not as low cost as they first claimed it would be. Teams who'd taken out franchises in it - and also race in the British Touign Car Championship - had already said budgets would be as expensive as those in the BTCC.

As far as I understand, it's because the SCV8 organisers wanted to pay more than normal hire fees to the race tracks on the proviso that the organisers keep the gate money, something that wasn't recieved so well by the Brands hatch circuits group, I might have misread the situation.
It would be a shame because the concept looks really great with about 20 cars producing roughly 500BHP with rear wheel drive sliding around. The Jaguar example looks really great, but hopefully it won't fail before it has a chance to get up and running. |

That was one of the many suggested reasons. To be honest though, if that was the only reason wouldn't you go along with the normal way of hiring a circuit for the first year and try to spend the following 12 months negotiating rather than cancelling the series and losing any support you might have built up.

Crikey, i really have been unobservant!
I thought it was ready to go. Damn was hoping it would run to remind people what 'proper' touring car racing is about, big, noisy cars, rather than buzzy little shopping trolleys! How depressing! Groan. |
