New cars/ drivers for this year and beyond

The Glen Taylor commodore was the ex Ian Luff white VN if im not mistaken.

Correct


Joe Said must have built a new car from the ground up as im sure the Fiat he used to run is now green and owned by Tony Long who drives it in the NSWRRC..


He has built a new chassis under the same body shell although some of the body work has been redone too, the car is left hand drive now too. Trust me this car is something special, it might not have all the mega $ parts in it but the level of workmanship is just awesome.
Tony Long's car is a different one altogether, you could say it is a sister car to Joe's one but it still uses sections of the Fiat floorpan where as Joe's car is now a full space frame chassis.

Hey MMP018 are you going to be able to run it this year in the national series round in QLD or is that going to be too soon for the car to be completed. It sounds as though it might be a very quick car. Are going to run a 13B or 20B in the Sierra. :D sorry missed the ready for 2009!!!! hope you can finish it earlier though

It is a new car, engine and drive train I have been using for last 18 months, seems to be very reliable and enough HP, range of 550-650 rear wheels, PS there is no QLD nationals this year.
