Watched the first practice.
The track poses an interesting mix of 'new' and old surface. Tyre deg is massive.
It'll be a great weekend of racing.

but I have paid for my campsite at Reid & Sulman for that date in October

Good man, we've done the same down at Max Cameron.

Quote from: stevo qld on April 10, 2024, 09:54:23 AMI don't think that personal sponsorships should conflict with the team sponsorship.

e.g. Would Mostert be able to wear Boost signage and drive an Optus sponsored car?

I'd expect contracts between teams & drivers would have clauses about that. Including that if a team obtained a new sponsor that clashed with an existing personal sponsor, the team would have to buy out the personal sponsor.

That was my first thought, that Vodafone et al. joined up.
Erebus, with Kostecki back in the seat and the #1 on the door would be a pretty good cut-price (you'd think) option at the moment.

Similar thing happened to J-Dub when Red Bull came on board. Monster took him to court.

Mostert has already stated that he won't be wearing the Boost hat if winning a pole.
Reynolds the same, with sponsorship from Vodafone.

As with most of Adderton's sponsorships, the drama around it creates more brand exposure than the act of sponsorship itself. If anything, he owes Broc a beer.

Quote from: AlbertM on March 24, 2024, 12:05:03 AMYou know, there is a 2024 Livery thread. 

So it would seem .

The Grove cars go Kiwi:


Got to say, this and the flat bronze livery they had at the back end of last year have been fantastic.

Quote from: Trevor on April 09, 2024, 04:34:58 PMSorry for the confusion, my post was about Supercares, not Brodie's return

I reckon you care just a little Trev.
Started both round topics this year, and first to comment on this one - in a Supercars forum no less!
 

Mostert, Waters or Payne are overdue a win after the Albert Park fiasco.
Would be great to see Payne get up on NZ soil.

Quote from: muz on April 09, 2024, 01:55:15 PMThe whole helmet sponsor thing is weird.

This whole situation is super weird.

Definitely. We've seen teams massively explode in the past, but never implode like this.

For anyone not up to date with Pete Adderton's socials, Brodie won't be racing with Boost Mobile sponsorship.
It would seem Erebus have outlined Boost cannot sponsor Brodie personally. Could we take it as a telco coming in as sponsorship for Erebus?

There's more to the story here though, he calls out Brodie and Paul Morris, not just Erebus. He's been put offside by all parties.

...and to further add, Shannen from Erebus has now taken a role within Coca-Cola:

Kostecki in the seat for Taupo. Interestingly, he's quoted as saying he needed time to "prioritise my health."
I feel like, if it was the ****show as rumoured, why would Erebus or Brodie even go down that path of saying that? Why poke the bear again?

No it isn't April Fools.
Kostecki will return for NZ.

The fantasy league seems to be the only forum moving!

Quote from: AlbertM on March 24, 2024, 12:09:48 AMThe website is now mired in google ads and multiple pop ups. That's probably where the revenue is coming from.

That clearly must be it, because I avoid it otherwise.

Quote from: skaifeman on March 20, 2024, 02:42:22 PMIt references the Supercars website as to a potential increase in revenue, which is an absolute dumpster fire. Never been harder to navigate and requires way too much scrolling for the information at hand. The app isn't much different.

I will say this about that:  For the FIRST TIME EVER the Supercars website is actually reflecting the extra five bonus points scored by the individual drivers in the sprint races.

It's only been what......?  Four years?

About time, I generally stick to Wikipedia for historical seasons/points breakdowns.

Am I right in reading the rules that the changing of rosters is loosened up a little this year?
We can make 4 changes Groups A-D, and all 4 changes can be within the same group should one want to?
And we can make multiple changes between weekends, last year was limited to one?

Making a change in Group D.
#31 Golding OUT, and #10 Percat IN.

Are they AU Falcon's out there or Mustangs?
The two leading Ford's take each other out AGAIN!

Go Percat! Hopefully the Bulls fumble each other.

I reckon Brown will sit behind Percat here, won't risk losing any time or potential position to Feeney to win the weekend.
