I find it incredible that there is obvious talent in Goddard then somehow Jack Smith lands a ride.

Is there any momentum regarding MSR attaining a third license for Goddard, who without a doubt, was one of the standout young guns in 2021?

I see plenty of Mustangs on the road these days

Any green car looks good. There's been some ripping Castrol cars too recently.

Might be biased but Bright has had some ripping liveries. His 2007, 2011, 2013, 2017 cars were each superb.

Incredible the bright 2009 car

Repco Supercars Championship / All Time Best Liveries

There was a thread on the old website i believe but not on the new one. Anyway it is the off season so let's take a trip down memory lane. Here's some beauties of the last 10 or so years.
First that comes to mind is Frosty from 2012

Another good one is Brighty from 2009

HRT's 2016 car was looking sharp

Lastly I think that Courntey's Jim Beam Falcon from 2010 is right up there.

Ok so I've read a Speedcafe article which says that there is a new REC system which caps the grid at 26 cars. This infuriates me since the days of Bathurst having 30, 40, or even 50 cars are over. Most fans are in the same boat as me. What a way to piss off long-term fans.

think NZ has always deserved a double round, maybe a north/south event?

as for the rest of the events in Oz, ditch the advertised kilometres/laps, they are a joke... other than Bathurst which seems to be the only one they guarantee will be 1000km make the rest of them timed races.

2 championships to be run. A single driver championship over summer and a 2 driver enduro championship in the middle of the year (with a 45/55 split for driver times)... would probably have to have a small crossover though to allow for having the 2 events in NZ... maybe use NZ as the enduro opener and then have the single driver finale when back in Oz.

2 drivers
Bathurst 1000km
Sandown
Hampton Downs
Tailem
Gold Coast (hate street circuits, a blight on the calendar but we seem to be stuck with them)
bottom 4 all twin 3-4 hour races run back to back on Sat/Sun. makes for a 9 race championship and a much more realistic 'enduro champion' than the 3 race enduro champs we have had in the past (and I struggle to call the GC race much of an enduro at 300km anyway)... ran with an 'east coast' setup on this simply because the other states don't really have much of what I imagine would work well for enduros. running through the middle of the year with Bathurst as the finale.

single driver championship - 9 rounds/27 races
3 race rounds, 45 min Sat, 45 min and 90 min Sun
Symmons Plains
Phillip Island
Winton
SMP
Barbagallo
Darwin
Pukekohe
Townsville (they are the ones making a proper circuit?)
and round 9 to be a random track in Oz that doesn't really suit the SC's well so that it challenges the drivers going to tracks they don't have any data on. Mallala/Winton short/Baskerville etc... as long as they are safe to race on then let's see what you got!

there ya go Brighty... the Sonic 2022 Calendar Double!

I rate that calendar. Get the enduro race off the Gold Coast I don't mind it as a season finale. I genuinely like the track myself, just not for 300km "enduro." Other than that the fans would be onboard with these changes.

In a world without Covid, let's say somehow everyone gets vaccinated or it goes away (imagine), is there a possibility Supercars will do something new with the calendar?

https://autoaction.com.au/2021/07/30/new-zealand-doubleheader-being-considered-in-2022

New Zealand double header is an amazing idea. Do Pukekohe one week and then Hampton Downs the next - give our kiwi fans a fix!

Anyway go ahead, where would you like Supercars to go in 2022?
