A new season of V8 Thunder Cars (V8TC) is approaching. It is, once more, time for a “silly season” update. I have contacted V8TC for official statements, but they cannot reveal anything at this point. However, V8TC will publish news as soon as they possible can. So this is, my unofficial “silly season” list – gathered from own inquiries and contacts. I will keep this list updated.
