V8 Supercar discussion thread

I think they're all individually owned and prepped.

Initial development was done by NBM, but that's about it.

[mph]

You want to drive one of these turds...
No power, heavy....after 45 laps of qr....more than happy to never set foot in one again. Drivers car, pigs ass!

I've driven one, it was fun.

[Toppertee]

Surely they are not that bad. Haven't driven one myself but people who have seem to think they are fantastic apart from the Briggs and Stratton under the bonnet.

I don't rate them at all, the mx5 NC I drove ran rings around it.

Betty claims SVG pulled the pin because he didn't want to drive for a woman

Sounds like Gillard. She just dropped a level in my book.

Hah. She's so desperate, she's resorting to the sexism card? This crap can be dangerous. Here's how I see this playing out.

One year later...

Betty: "My team isn't successful because V8SC is biased against Women".

>Cue a ACA type investigation. Finds that 99.9% of V8SC employees are men!

>Aha! V8SC is indeed biased against women. "I thought we were past this kind of thing? outrageous"

>V8SC respond to the public outcry by hiring more female employees

>Those female employees push for greater number of female drivers

>By 2030 50% of the grid is female drivers

>Bathurst is a competition to see who can reverse parallel park quickest

Fucking lol. Sad thing is, that is probably quite an accurate prediction. Hope not though.

“I thought it was very, very wrong and very sexist of him because that’s all I can think of."

Says it all...

[TJ]

Absolutely pathetic, just like her team for the most.

[FLI355]

Why she thinks it's necessary to sprout bullshit like that just after he wins a championship is beyond me. Sour grapes much

•none of the approximate 60 staff that were with SBR in 2012 are now with Erebus....."

Sexist, misogynistic, tattoo hating bastards the lot of them I guess...

SBR-->Erebus-->SJW's!!

[Bob Vegana.]

She's an absolute nutter, according to former staff. Ferocious temper. Dumb decisions. Poor spending habits.

Her husband took over the team just over 12 months ago, making all the critical decisions, and getting new sponsors on board.

Looks like she's just fucked all of that up.

[Reedy]

If sexism is what it was about then why did he sign with her in the first place??

It's more about the fact their car was absolute shit.

He didnt sign with her.... he signed his contract with Ross/Jimmy Stone and SBR..... before the announcement was made of Erebus buying out SBR....

[Bob Vegana.]

Part of the sale was the transfer of any existing contracts.

SvG basically walked away from his.
