Plenty of ways for a international to get seat time, nothing is stopping them taking a older v8sc out testing for as long as they like.. The teams are already spending 100k+ to get them here and setup to race anyway, if they wanted to have a serious crack what's a test day with an old car worth to them?? **** if I was a highly paid international driver I would just do it my self. |

Of interest also is that Mr Skaife was apparently originally slated for one of the seats... but couldnt drive because of his work on the V8SC Commission.... Interesting... |

Tim Slade departs Erebus Motorsport - apparently to Walkinshaw Racing.

I'd say it'd be one of the internationals, perhaps one who has been around all year...

Didn't Lucas already threaten to replace one of his drivers earlier this year?
Be quite rutheless of him to do it before Bathurst... |

He wants to get rid of Mr Pye, but this may have an effect on his alliance with Triple Eight.
From what I've heard, the combination of Mr L. Dumbrell and Mr Morris does not make for an easy working environment. |

The expletive bomb after the Winton car burn-off on the live 7 coverage showed the true colours of a seemingly highly-stressed team. It may not have aired in Australia as it occurred during the Noonan interlude that we get in NZ as part of the pay TV, from memory.

Oh it was aired alright.
Mr Morris made Mr Pye look a bit foolish in ditching the car, when in reality, Mr Pye had known better. |

Surely the driver shouldnt have left his car's side , given that he was uninjured, until the car's fate was known. |

Stand next to a car that was on fire? Yeah that sounds like something most of us would do...

I'm guessing he assumed the damage was terminal, given the same thing happened the day before, albeit on a smaller scale.

What are they planning to do now that the Pye machine has been somewhat shortened?
Will it see some Triple Eight branding, so as to keep Mr Pye in the seat til the conclusion of the season? |

I don't think it's that bent, but the monetary value of the panels, etc that were crunched will add up.
