Seaton's days at the front are over. Whats the bet that HRT cross enter him in both 2 and 22 at Bathurst. When they work out his lap times are too slow he will be pushed into 22. Do you really think HRT want to let 888 win again in 08 with a gun driver pair?

Sorry, I know this post will drive some of you semi-mental, but good on you Glenn. Just make sure that you are in the car at Bathurst for the final stint....and on the job sheet on Saturday night, get all parts under $10 changed.....Supercar part inflation has been a bit cruel since.... |

I know it's the corporate colours & all but red pants are just not a good look on blokes.

Seton is supposed to be keen to run a development series team. I wonder if this is why he has taken this route.

Yes Lowndes had had a lot of success with Holden but it had only been a short period of time compared to how long people have been supporting Glenn driving Fords so it will take a while for people to adjust. It's nothing new lots of drivers have driven for different manufactures for as long as motorsport has been around & sometimes fans follow & sometimes they don't.

The title of the thread is fairly pointless. Ford had every opportunity to hire GS, but passed, and lets face it he is not going to get any faster.
If they didn't want him now why would they want him any time in the future. I'm just happy Glenn can boost his super with some of HRT's budget. |

Am I the only one here who sees V8Supercar as 17 teams who just happen to race Holdens or Fords instead of 16 cars run by directly by Ford, and 15 cars run by Holden?
There are 17 teams witj which Seton can deal with, so why not maximise your chances of winning? HRT, like DJR was two years ago, another former fierce rival who he drives with. |

Too much sentiment and not too much sense in the Seton saga - Seton has hardly registered at the front half of the field in the last ten years and has never been a great marketing tool for whom ever was sponsoring his team at the time , also Ford and (Nissan before them) never utilized Setons services in pushing their products , sorry , but where Seton ends up is about as exciting as where Longhurst ends up - Ford haven't really lost him as they no longer had any ties to him and IMHO Seton would be stupid not to take any drive offered , I cant see Seton being too concerned with upsetting the few fans that he may have with his accepting a HRT drive.

So, at Bathurst in October we'll keep an eye out for the guy wearing an HRT enduro cap with the HRT logo cut off of it? :P

Actually, while I am on this thread, I've been thinking.....
FPR, the factory team, didn't have a particular fancy to keep him for Season 2005. Tey wanted on of their current drivers, but I'm sure they wanted Craig. I don't know if Ford or Glenn himself got Dick on board, but they didn't work out. Same with SBR, I don't know fi it was Glenn or Ford. The guy himself has a desire to be in a competitive team, and who can blame him. Arguably, with the right car under him, he is still as quick as anyone on his day. Is he still stellar quick? Probably not, but he's still leagues ahead of half of the field. So, the HOLDEN factory tea wanted him. Sure, Mark Skaife probably had alot to do with it, but they would NOT have gone ahead with the deal if Holden didn't want it. Stevo, this will hurt - HOLDEN wants Glenn more than FORD does at this juncture! Could it change? I'm sure Ford will want their baby faced assassin back if he wins in red. But now he's seen Ford wish to promote the youth movement, will he want to be screwed over again? Will Glenn have Ford back again is what we should be asking! Stevo - If you'r lucky, HRT might release a BLUE series of shirts, just for Glenn's fiercest supporters! |

All jokes aside though, I really appreciate all you guys posting these words of support to help me out through this period. Just goes to show how serious we take our motorsport and it's good to see people can understand how being a passionate fan can bite you in the arse at times. I'll be ok folks. I'm hoping there's some in-depth reports in either AA or MNews next week and interview with Seton, Skaife and Price (not together obviously). |

I've been watching lately the huge archive of ATCC/V8S races back to 1990 on Dvd courtesy of chevron and I've noticed something. Watching Seton back in the 90's, the guy was always excited and always seemed to be enjoying the racing. Lately watching him has been quite the opposite. I remember bathurst 2003? when he was wearing a full face helmet and got so flustered and disturbed over it he went back to the old open face helmet in the middle of the race. I can still remember the look on his face and he didn't seem to want to be there. I think Seton is a emotional type that needs to be "loved" in his enviroment to perform well. He seems to be the type that if you put him in the corner and don't coddle him he wont perform. I think he needs more than the "you're the driver get in the car and drive". That's why him and DJ(THE Man From Queensland!) were never going to get along. And I think that's why HRT will work better. They WANT him there, he's not a second hand me down from Ford foisted on a team that doesn't really want em. |
