I see the first round has been completed in the weekend. Did I miss the coverage, or is it to be shown at a later date! Looking like a good turnout with 20 entrys this year, seems to be getting better and better each year!

Astounding. A category sporting less than 10 cars with predictable results gains prime time viewing whilst what is suposedly our best open wheel category is relegated to 11pm on a Friday night.

God, what cars are racing! Toyota hasn't had an interesting car in over 10 years.

F1 is Serious open wheelers.
Privateer and non F1 open wheel formula racing is boring as shit. Probably the reason I'd never even heard of this series.

Yeah, have fun with that.

I don't really follow it either, preferring the F5000s - real cars and many different makes.Toyotas may be our current premier single seater series, but as with all one make stuff, just not worth getting out the camera.
Look the same, sound the same, are the same.Zzzzzzz.

F1 yep open wheels, serious never.Me thinks you need to go to a few race meetings and get away from TV.

Formula One is the fastest and most technical racing in the world.
Formula Toyota, Ford, Renault, etc etc is nowhere near F1 levels of tech or racing.
Put your tissues away ladies.

GP2 is, and not far off the pace. And 1% the budget of F1

Isn't it amazing the difference that 99% makes.

Less than 5 s a lap. have you watched a GP2 race! Extremely good racing, and I am not a massive fan of open wheelers in general.

Seriously, 5 seconds is a lifetime in F1.
I watch GP2 drivers when they qualify for F1. Otherwise, like yourself I'm not a fan of open wheelers and won't go out of my way to watch anything else. I tried A1GP and Formula Renault for about five minutes and realised how pointless it was.

tier 1 is rubbish, go to HD next 2 week ends for good racing, well I hope it will be

Keep your fingers crossed and pray to the weather gods. We haven't exactly been blessed with good weather for the previous two Festivals.At least there will be over 300 cars to look at, which is three times as many as the tier 1 meetings.
The HD festival is, to quote the festival chairman "all about the cars".Driver's are encouraged leave the egos at home and just enjoy it.

Having had the priviledge of driving one of the TRS cars at Manfield I would suggest they are anything BUT laughable. The engine may not be big but when you consider the average driver age I reckon they represent a bloody good series with even competition. Take a look at some of the young guns NZ has spawned in recent years who have cut their teeth in Formula Ford and the into TRS.
