Pirelli World Challenge and V8 SuperCars at COTA

Post by Kuma »

Ran into James Bufkin and Shawn Olsen amongst other people as well.

Anyways, I got a message about hanging out with the Tristan Herbert racing team from Kenwill Roberts from StasiS that he wanted my help in getting more and more people to the track that are a part of the Texas Audi Groups and Central Texas Dubs. Anyone that was going to positively going to be there, i would make a list of their names and pass it to the General Manager, Chris at StasiS/Revo and he would hand out goodie bags. I also ended up making friends with the Cadillac Racing marketing engineer and various other famous companies as well. Image

Anyways, here are a ton of pics and such of the track and behind the pits and paddocks. I have lots of photos so please be patient while everything loads and enjoy!!!

This GTI is the old Renntech GTI race car, but it was sold and purchased by one of the Revo Teams and repainted.
It used to be painted Yellow if my memory is correct.

Apparently Fiat racers are not very good at driving on COTA.

Nice, I am jealous! I have always wanted to watch the V8 supercars race, but I thought they were Aussies only.

They are all 5.0 V8 cars. The drivers and tuners are mainly Aussie power but the sponsors are all over the place.


there were Nissan Altima, Ford Falcon, Holden Commodore, and Mercedes Benz
