Needs to race with the big boys first and then we will see !

It looks that two additional RECs are up for grabs. We can safely assume one will go to Tickford for Randle?

Agree

I couldn’t imagine 888 going for a Championship rookie to fill the seat.Jessica Dane probably has a better chance than Feeney..

Ingall will return in 2022 if Supercars go to paddleshift, according to Speedcafe!

Casper · 23 May 2021, 01:19 (Ref:4052791)

Interesting, I did not know he was into masochism and self inflicted humiliation.

exactly!

At first I thought he's saying this in order to ridicule the paddleshift idea (to show it'll make it 'too easy') but it turns out he said it for real. Not so sure about his stance that this'll make so many retired 'icons' to come back though.

No Third REC for MSR

Lawsuit?

Jack65 · 18 Jun 2021, 03:15 (Ref:4056918)

MSR may have offered only a small amount for the REC. If Tickford were bidding specifically for the one they handed back, then they could put in an over the top bid as they would be writing a cheque to themselves, less Supercars handling fee.

**GTRMagic** · 18 Jun 2021, 04:22 (Ref:4056924)

According to AA, MSR is still determined to run 3 cars next season.

JSR?

JSR?

So the question is "Why would they NOT grant another licence"

I mean is it a negative thing?
More Cars on the grid.

Has me dumbfounded, mind you thats not hard to do

Dilutes the profit for those remaining. These things are very complicated agreements and one more car likely does not mean more revenue, so if you have more slices everybody gets less pie.

Sounds feasible

Jack65 · 18 Jun 2021, 06:48 (Ref:4056934)

There may have been a reserve price that would not have been disclosed to bidders which Tickford met and MSR didn’t.

Yep and there is also tender weighting, there is no doubt Tickford has more background and stability, and a guaranteed single sponsor for the year might well have been a big plus over MSR

Reason for Courtney to get nervous? 3 drivers looking for 2 spaces.
Or is Feeney more of a shoe-in at T888 than we think and this latest 'promise' is just words and publicity garnering and Feeney will do it without Boost support..

Presumably Boost backing will appear on any Triple 8 entry for Feeney, as per his Super2 livery.

Red Bull Ampol Racing for SVG, Red Bull Boost Mobile Racing for Feeney?

Beages · 26 Jun 2021, 10:52 (Ref:4058273)

How long is the Triple 8 Ampol deal for? Makes sense for Ampol to jump over to WAU to tie in with their lubricants Mobil 1 deal. Boost could then replace Ampol's Triple 8 realestate.

Which goes completely against Addertons (self professed) 'modus operandi' of prefering to support individuals rather than teams. (Yes he did not do that at GRM but I guess he gets round that with he was supporting the drivers ... they just happened to drive for the same team)

Anyway, he just this week said his preference was drivers in the way he is backing Courtney at Tickford and Kostecki and Erebus.... and has pledged to back Feeney if needed (the implication was if Feeney did not get the Whincup gig he would find a car for him.)

I dont think he wants to be a secondary backer of a team as would be if he replaced Ampol at T888. Im just of that opinion because of what he has said this week. Of course with Adderton, what he says this week is not always the same as what he might say the following week / month (with all respects to a bloke who at least dips his hand in his pocket)

Would imagine Ampol sells more petrol and petroleum products in Australia in value & volume than Mobil1 sells motor oil...

That said, their former branding in Caltex will reappear.. as the replacement for Puma (now Chevron owned) across the country.

And then we have EG.. who own the Woolworths (formerly Caltex) service station sites who have not made their branding intentions clear...

Plus Mobil's alliances with 7/11, with X Convenience amongst others which makes no sense of the Mobil1 oils Ampol distribution connection.

Nothing seems to stay the same too easily...

I must admit I thought they had extended his contract last year. Unless this is a new contract?

But certainly no surprises either way. I think he prefers the 'big fish in a small tank' set up where he is the undoubted #1 driver.
