JC to replace MS

DJJ · 21 Mar 2008, 10:58 (Ref:2158018)

Word on the street is Mark is hanging up his boots, forced I don't know but JC is flying into the red camp. Got to love the whole wpr empire.

What street have you been on???
It has been mentioned in the other thread.

Ford boy, please understand that DJJ lives high in the hills, out of range of the wireless, TV, and print media.

Sometimes things wander down his grapevine, other times he reads them in the sunset.

I think that what he is actually trying to do is separate an issue that could be one of the news stories of the year if it comes to pass.

i hope if it happens Mark it's announced early, so the fans can give Mark the send off he deserves after 21 years of great service to the sport, if it does happen

in advance Mark.

**GTRMagic** · 21 Mar 2008, 20:17 (Ref:2158472)

#22... just like the opening post in the other thread

Dont be silly! How can the owner of a team be sacked! Just not sure what team Skaife owns?

Silencer · 22 Mar 2008, 19:42 (Ref:2159129)

He owns the licenses, that's all.

Racer, there are quite a few people that would like Skaifey to get the send off he deserves......but that may not be the one you would like him to get!

Just love a driver bash don't you GTR??......you lower yourself further on a daily basis lately....

DJJ · 23 Mar 2008, 06:24 (Ref:2159352)

Mid year the announcement will be made, if any of what I hear is true

Not quite, I get significantly annoyed when the pilot of a piece of pedigree racing machinery does not have the spatial awareness of those around him, to put the racing vehicle in places it should not go.

There are a couple of other pilots who do not put the well being of their equipment or of their own selves first.

Fight for position, make a mistake, crash. Fact of life, its motorsport.

Do it a few times.. you get a reputation... but worse than that, the team burns up money repairing the equipment, burns up time, has to scramble to source a replacement car... has to build a new car.... to make the racing presence on the circuit.

It is by no means a personal bash. It is a reflection on the body of work the SBR engineering group have had to put in, to bring formerly pristine racing vehicles back to their original condition.

What will be interesting... is which of the SBR pilots is set to debut the brand new chassis.... that may indicate who will be in the squad next season

Oh please stop...you are making me cry!!!

Courtney will get the new car...no doubt whatsoever....he is the number 1 SBR driver and has been for the last 2 years - Little Cheese is a good driver but has alot to learn before he is given a freshy to drive.

Roll on 2009 so we can see JC in a machine that he doesnt have to muscle to get position - Red or Blue I dont care - just something that goes, stays together and is serviced quickly during pitstops.

**GTRMagic** · 23 Mar 2008, 08:04 (Ref:2159392)

Cry or not, in a team that has not got the commercial firepower of previous seasons, a continual stream of damaged cars will not be good for the bank balance or the development of the chassis.

Your comment seems to suggest that its somehow SBR's fault that the #4 likes to come back to the paddock on a truck rather than under its own power????

Exactly what I'm saying!! If he had a quality machine to drive and quality support in pit lane he wouldnt be pushing it so hard for results

**GTRMagic** · 23 Mar 2008, 08:21 (Ref:2159402)

So, according to you, SBR now not only supply a dud car, but that dont service it to the best of their capability???
