We did that here it didnt work. rember past the calder park thunder dome we only had one oval so our AUSCARS had to race on tracks.

DTM is a fine class and in all seriousness there nothing wrong with NASCAR and similar classes (Japans GT500 for example) but historically such classes are doomed here and without the proper marketing and the dollar value to make these cars work there not likly to work either rember we have 21million and germany has roughly 82million we just simply dont have the intrest nor the ecconmy to support such a venture.

As expensive as v8 supercars is alot of teams still run off what dtm drivers get payed and germans like technology. Australians like simple 4 door taxis that loosly resemble the BA they bought at fleet and wholesale and nothing beats staring at it through a haze of bbq smoke wearing the vb beer goggles and just wishing you where craig lowndes. Your ideas not a bad one it seriously isnt but I cant imagine bazza really falling in love with the idea of a generic go kart, If that where the case f1 would be rating ALOT better here.

Come on our cars have 6 link live rear ends outdated motors that havent been manufactured in 6 years (at the newest) and have only just this year allowed sequential shifters doe people care? no because holden iz da bezt

Our current class is a fine wine thats been corked there is no saving a corked beverage only thing that happens when you try to do somthing with it turns it to viniger. There is no easy answer but still we are seeing a resurgence in modified stock car racing in this country (have done since the turn of the centuary) and i put it forward to the board that this is the idea with the most grounding both historically and currently as of this point in time
