There maybe tv coverage after the event, nothing is set in stone yet but it is 100% confirmed being filmed to go to video.

If it's going to video I will definitely buy it. The TV coverage I doubt will do it justice even if it does get air time.

it will be interesting to see the power down they get with 900-1000hp and only R Tyres....I hope they arent going to run Supercar spec wheels, they will need more rubber than that. I'll be heading out for sure.

Look hottttttttt!! I wonder what the purists think of the Boss hump on it. Suppose it comes with the V8SC.

I hope they do something with the aero on the car. Im pretty sure I rememebr reading that the BF had to have a modified aero package when the VE was released for parity.
IE the VE couldnt get the same down force on the front as a BF so they had to modify the front splitter. Basically what Im trying to say is a V8 super car has a compromised areo kit to suit the rules, where as for this purpose they could actually build a kit the works a lot better. |

The 34 won't beat it, it's got zip ties on the shifter xD
Was a nice vid, I do like the 34's looks and all, but this Falcon I6T contender will be great to see out there! I'll have to watch clips on the net though I'd wager.

I don't care how much HP it has, after all the work that has gone into it, I want to see some decent lap times. That's the point of the car.

The point of the whole car to me is to show that big boxy looking cars can still compete with the best of the Evo's, Rexy's and others. I applaud him for thinking of something different, but with all the effort and hard work that has gone into it I fail to see how it will actually be a winner. I wish Jose and the team all the best for a successful debut of a big boxy car in World Time Attack. |

In that vid i absolutely lost it with the car with the big Spoiler 1.5m in the air on its nose.
Seriously though it is about competing while also being different. People always remember the unusual or the the unique, always good in terms of marketing.

I'm really keen to see this thing on the track, I hope it will be on tv! Watching something like this would be far more interesting than V8 supercars.
