28 cars are go

The V8 Supercar Championship field will be reduced to just 28 cars.

The decision to officially slash the current number of racing entries was made unanimously on Wednesday at a category board meeting, and board member Larry Perkins said it was the right move for the sport.

“Absolutely, the preferred grid for us is 28.” said Perkins.

“The [financial] pie’s only so big, and cutting the pie into 28 slices is better than 32 where you all go away a bit hungry. Whereas 28 of a better-quality pie just makes more sense.”

Sounds like a solution for Cup Lite and CTS?
