Sad to lose Chaz, but one positive is he is still with Ford

FPR will be strong next year , hopefully we will still work closely with them

Tony D'Alberto is facing an uncertain future for next year.

I'm guessing Percat will bring Coates Hire money with him? Who can blame him looking elsewhere after being shafted by Ryan Walkinshaw and co, he has been loyal to them and get SFA.
Coming to the family orientated team at DJR will do him good I think.

I see Irwin is pulling the pin for 2014 with Erebus and SP Tools will be naming rights sponsor of the Evil Empire, So where does that leave Jnr? Im assuming Will Davo will jump in Slades HHA seat? Betty has plenty of overseas contacts so im sure they will find some sponsors but it will be interesting who they will be? Pirtek/Westfield/Fuchs/Mercedes Aus? just to name a few.

Apparently Betty's new sponsors are already in place.

We always see other teams pickup sponsors fairly quickly. Why does DJR always seem to find it hard to attract sponsors??

It might have something to do with some former "partners" and the damage they have done to the DJR brand over the past couple of years.......

I see your point but DJR are much more than that and have already proved that with decent sponsorship can really challenge. Its not like they have never won championship/Bathurst before. They just need the coin to give them the opportunity the challenge

A distinct possibility,. . . .[rt]

No Percat to DJR, Ryan Walkinshaw has stated they are trying to secure a REC for a 4 car team in 2014 and Percat is definitely a part of HRT's future. Apparently Supercheap didn't want Percat but agreed to Slade.[sh]

 

[ROB17]

Apart from Ash Walshs blemish at Sandown, I think he and Dale Wood did a great job during the Enduros and have been standouts in the Development series. Who else is both worthy and available?

 

[Racin Jason]

I'm still unsigned for next year and I'm prepared to bring some dollars. [sh]

i think they need more than $2[crackup]

 

[Racin Jason]

i think they need more than $2[crackup]

I'd actually do it for nothing....[crackup]

 

[Car61]

... but 'they' would need MUCH more than 'nothing' !!!

 

[Gerry]

Not if he does it on a UFUF basis!

I just thought of an interesting way to fund my drive. If we could get all the 888 haters to chip in a few dollars each we would have enough to fund 2 cars for at least the next 5 seasons and I can just go out there and take out Whingecup and Clowndes each race or maybe just be a mobile chicane whenever they lap me. We can then get Steve back in the 17 and maybe if I wreak enough havoc he might win a championship.

I could even change my name to "Ricky Bobby"!
