Silly Season 2014

[TS-50]

Three biggish announcements in one day, although none of them are what you would call breaking news. All the PR/media people must be back on deck after the Christmas break!

Yup ,. . . [crackup]


I wonder if Scott will regret this move

 

[Car61]

I think he already knows what it's like... working for arseholes (HRT) [crackup]

 

[Hardies Hero]

I honestly thought he may end up back at DJR.

Obviously the Kelly's have a decent sized cheque book.

Nissan have a big budget ,. . . . it seems.

Confirmed - Fiore hands license back the V8 Supercars, no buyer and no budget to run it in 2014. I wonder if this will be one that Skaife gets??

 

[TS-50]

That's got to be hard,.. . . . .just handing it back,. . . . that shows the real value of what an REC is worth to this category now since CotFjooked came in,. . . . couple of years back they would have been in a bidding war. [rt]

If Skaife gets this one for diddly squat,. . .pft [jk]

 

[Racin Jason]

Did Dean shoot himslef in the foot with his asking price?

 

[DJRMAD]

There is still a chance that Dumbrell and Dalberto could hand their licences in as well.
It just goes to show how hard it is to raise the sort of dollars needed to run these cars...............................................is that Tony Cochrane i can hear laughing in the back ground?

 

[Gerry]

Regardless of anything else, TC is a bloody good salesman!
It's extremely rare for Archer to make a wrong decision about investments and yet his salesmanship won them over.

Wonder if he's just waiting in the wings until the time is right for Phoenix...

Dahlgren to Volvo Polestar announced today, Really??? Alex Premat was starting to drive really well and could muscle around the street tracks and get good results. Premat spends all that time over here and then gets shafted for another Euro rookie.
It shows how much influence Polestar will have over GRM.


If you were going to go for a fast euro with seat time wouldent it be Ekstrom? It would have to be big money to lure him from Audi in DTM but worth a try?

 

[Racin Jason]

Dahlgren may surprise but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it. I guess if Volvo are paying the bills, they get the final say. Premat was starting to come good so it is a bit of a shame for him. I don't think another Euro rookie was the right way to go .

 

[Poita]

Ingall confirmed at LDM, going to be a long year for him I think.

 

[Racin Jason]

Agreed! Or it could be a long year for Lucas! I think Rusty will be a bit more difficult to push around than the young blokes that have been there so far. I don't think he will be sacking Mr Ingall every Thursday before a race meeting![tsk]

 

[Dgw86]

I think it Ingalls holden looks like a ford being mainly blue white and black paint job

 

[Racin Jason]

WTF??????? Poor Chaz.

[Gerry]

This'll be the first time that he has been employed just as a driver won't it?

 

[Poita]

Just checked and it's not April 1st... how the **** did Morris get a gig with FPR??

 

[DJRMAD]

They cant be serious, his performances in the development series have all but ruined races for young guys trying to make a name for themselves. He has never had the outright speed or consistancy to match the big names yet they are going to give him a drive..................................all i can think of is that the rich arrogant dude has bought his seat at a time where teams are strapped for cash

Perhaps Longhurst should be hired to keep him under control.
Loved watching Longhurst smack him one in the Diet Coke BMW

 

[Bigcol]

Can't believe that FPR even considered that idiot, let along give him the drive
