Constructive pre-season NZV8 meeting in Auckland last night


The first of the pre-season NZV8 meetings took place last night with a number of personnel turning out to discuss the 2012/13 championship.

With Hamilton’s turn coming this evening (5.30pm @ Map & Associates, 14 Knox St, Hamilton) and similar get-together’s planned for the South Island soon, there is still much to discuss.

However, interesting items raised on the agenda included:

  • revisions to the qualifying format
  • revisions to the reverse grid race format
  • discussion over how each class (Schedule TL current cars and Schedule TLX new generation cars) will be grouped for race starts
  • revisions to the points system, including awarding points for pole position and the fastest lap in each of the three races
  • discussion over tyre allocation at each round during the season
  • parity, engine and gearbox discussion for the current Schedule TL cars

Whilst no changes have yet been confirmed, the combined feedback from each sector’s Pre-Season meetings will be important in finalising a championship format that will suit the drivers, teams, fans and sponsors alike.
