	Crash.net's V8 Supercar season review – Part 1. \| V8 News
		For the first time in the championship, V8 Supercars did not support the Australian Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park.
		Having finished fourth in the 2006 championship for the Toll HSV Dealer Team, Tander headed to his home event in Western Australia to dominate every session of the weekend — finishing top in practice, qualifying and the three sprint races at Barbagallo Raceway.
		After winning the Clipsal 500, and claiming the championship lead at Barbagallo, he went on to claim round honours in New Zealand — awarded the win at Pukekohe after finishing equal with Tander — and delivering the Toll HSV Dealer Team a one-two stance in the points.

	Hamilton to become V8 Supercar venue : thewest.com.au
		Australia's V8 Supercar series will continue a path of expansion and a shift towards street circuits after Hamilton in New Zealand earned its own street race from 2008 and Singapore became a leading contender for another international round.
		V8 officials have become increasingly frustrated with the inadequate facilities at Pukekohe raceway just outside of Auckland, this year's race marred by a high-speed crash which broke a photographer's leg and a section of spectators in the main grandstand almost crushed by a support series car.
		V8 Supercars Australia chief executive Wayne Cattach said there were plenty of offers coming from around the world for the touring car series to be taken further abroad, but the series remains committed to a maximum of four overseas races.
