Fine, what if Kelly want 15-16-17 then?

There really should be seperate numbers for the two series, plus better tv etc, so the development chaps are a main event in their own right. Somehow the development winner is not a champion carrying the #1, the winning driver or team in other junior series gets to carry a #1???

SBR with 4 and 9, 8 and 14 etc is funny but nevermind who should get priority in swapping numbers then?

1-2 winner & team-mate
3-4 SBR
5-6 FPR
7-8 KRT
9-10 BJR
11 LDR
12 TDR
14-15 KRT
16 RNR
17-18 DJR
19-20 WR
21-22 HRT
etc?

it's all a bit arbitrary anyway?

F J Nedos · 15 Dec 2009, 22:42 (Ref:2600437)

F1 rank the numbers on the teams finishing order from the previous year. That'd solve it for you!

STEALTHY · 15 Dec 2009, 23:37 (Ref:2600477)

The system we have now is fine. So what if they can't have numbers in a sequence. Sure, it'd be nice, and you could only ask, but if they (SRT) say no, then tough cookies!

Its not like the number 19 has any meaning to webb, in this case.

Crash Test · 15 Dec 2009, 23:59 (Ref:2600487)

888- Obvious marketing reasons with 888 (and wasn't it smart of BJR to run 888 originally and sell it to 888?)
51- Murph's number, I suppose it worked when there was 51 and 15 at Kmart.
111- Tribute to Mark Porter.
021- NZ phone code.

At the end of the day, does it really affect people's viewing pleasure what numbers are glued to the cars?

SJA · 16 Dec 2009, 03:14 (Ref:2600530)

This is what an F1 inspired numbering system might look like in 2010. #1 goes to the 2009 drivers champion and #2 goes to his team mate. The rest of the system is based on the 2009 teams championship. Some adjustments have been made due to some RECs changing hands and being grouped to the larger teams they are attached to. The two Tasman RECs going to TDR and LDM respectively are situated down the bottom as they are new teams. TDR granted the lower number as the TDR “operation” has been around longer than LDM. Which driver gets the lower number within each team is based on their 2009 drivers championship placing.

1. Triple Eight Race Engineering – Jamie Whincup
2. Triple Eight Race Engineering – Craig Lowndes
3. Toll Holden Racing Team – Will Davison
4. Toll Holden Racing Team – Garth Tander
5. Dick Johnson Racing – Steven Johnson
6. Dick Johnson Racing – James Courtney
7. Stephen Webb/Dick Johnson Racing – Jonathan Webb
8. Ford Performance Racing – Mark Winterbottom
9. Ford Performance Racing – Steven Richards
10. Rod Nash Racing/Ford Performance Racing – Paul Dumbrell
11. Garry Rogers Motorsport – Lee Holdsworth
12. Garry Rogers Motorsport – Michael Caruso
14. Jack Daniels Racing – Rick Kelly
15. Jack Daniels Racing – Todd Kelly
16. Stone Brothers Racing – Shane van Gisbergen
17. Stone Brothers Racing – Alex Davison
18. James Rosenberg/Stone Brothers Racing – Tim Slade
19. Walkinshaw Racing – Fabian Coulthard
20. Walkinshaw Racing – Andrew Thompson
21. Paul Morris Motorsports – Russell Ingall
22. Paul Morris Motorsports – Greg Murphy
23. Brad Jones Racing – Jason Richards
24. Brad Jones Racing – Jason Bright
25. Britek Motorsport/Brad Jones Racing – Karl Reindler
26. Kelly Racing – Jason Bargwanna
27. Kelly Racing – TBA
28. Triple F Racing – Dean Fiore
29. Tony D’Alberto Racing – Tony D’Alberto
30. Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport – Jack Perkins

+1

kiwi20 · 16 Dec 2009, 06:37 (Ref:2600553)

For a causual fan that would be confusing year to year.

F1 works as you dont see the number anyway. Its so damn tiny.

krypto71 · 16 Dec 2009, 07:17 (Ref:2600561)

Off topic much?

Anyone know when BJR will launch for next year?

To Colin, thanks for clearing up the Morris' numbers, still don't like it but.

Slightly off topic but is still related to the cars livery

db120176 · 16 Dec 2009, 10:13 (Ref:2600629)

Establishing a bit of tradition is always good with numbers. Think of how closely associated Brock was with 05 or Johnson with 17. Moving to a switching number scheme would remove this.

I still miss seeing Ferrari F1's getting around around with Villeneuve's 27 and Pironi's 28.....

Pro Racer · 16 Dec 2009, 10:45 (Ref:2600643)

Murphy launch tomorrow, his PA announced on the Sprint Gas forum today.

Peter Ford · 17 Dec 2009, 01:20 (Ref:2601088)

Think ford will be stuggling to get a win or even a podium next year,will murphy be taking his "51" to morris.

Razor · 17 Dec 2009, 03:58 (Ref:2601114)

Mr Muphy's new car.

Seems a number of sponsors that were with Tasman have gone with Mr Muphy. Strange there's no sponsors linking to SuperCheap Auto.

given the quote from the Murphy chat on stuff.co.nz that Russell will be in another Castrol car, it could mean the end of Supercheap with PMM?

or perhaps there was some miscommunication from the media

888 Debuts their Holden

Agreed, Castrol car looks awesome.

I'd like 888 to be blue for a change

When the deal was announced Morris was quoted as saying that there would be no Supercheap signage on the castrol car

With those dark tinted windows I wonder if any other T8 drivers had a red hot go...?
