Just to give you an update and thank you again for your support over the past season.
I've had a few more challenges than usual and still can't tell you whether we have officially won the Superbike Championship or not. I went to an appeal hearing on Tuesday (22/3) and it seemed to go very well.

There were 8 written statements supporting that I had passed Tony before entering to yellow flag area indicated by the cones set out (even one from an MNZ steward), and only one statement (from a flag Marshall) that said, "overtaking" took place just after the cones. The committee acknowledged that overtaking wasn't necessary and that I only needed to have half a wheel in front crossing the cones. They also acknowledged that the protest claiming I had passed under the yellow flag was outside the time frame allowed in the rule book and it went through some illegitimate procedures. Still the decision for me to be disqualified from that race at Manfeild was upheld.. - Andrew Stroud

Rally - Chris West & Subaru

Chris West has won the national rally championship in his standard production Subaru Impreza WRX STI, exceeding his wildest expectations.

Westy and co-driver Gary Cowan have become only the second crew to win the title outright in a Group N car. Reece Jones accomplished the same feat in 1995 and 1997. "We had no thoughts about the overall title at the start of the season," said Westy. "Our main priority was the production championship."
