Speaking of which, could you imagine someone being let into SuperTouring racing after pouring **** on the management like P.Adderton does?

I think not.

Heck, backing the quick Erebus team would be the most logical (why switch support from Stanaway to Kostecki and then back to Stanaway?!)... Adderton does not seem logical.

The colours would kinda match too…

Doesnt he want his own team ?
MInd you I guess he cant have a 1 car team without others

It was (allegedly ) in the old REC, did it make its way into the new charters?

So will 2023 be SVG final season in supercars?

I understand everyone says what about his rally stuff, blablabla
but surely he could be lured elseware.

Unless his partner in crime keeps him here in Oz

Maybe Roland set them up to keep him here...

Maybe 888 will see it as an opportunity to expand.

Absolutely

Would be nice to see him compete in some series overseas to be honest.

Would it?
What would happen to the level of competition in Supercar?
We get to see drivers not being pushed to the limit of their equipment because the benchmark has gone?

Who will step up?

Be careful what you wish for...

SO it was OK for Scotty but not SVG
He leaves, Mostert, Waters and Co pop up...Feeny, Kosteki
Does SVG Not deserve another opportunity.

People leave the scene be it retirement or moving overseas and the next wave of drivers come through.

Maybe Gen 3 will level the playing field.

E.B · 2 Nov 2022, 16:08 (Ref:4132462)

I would love to see him in the WEC Hypercar class.
Couldnt care less about NASCAR. He is better than that.

He deserves the opportunity to show himself on a world scale.

**FIRE** · 2 Nov 2022, 17:47 (Ref:4132466)

I assume it's SVG own choice to race in Australia instead of for example IMSA or WEC.

Well, bear in mind the travel restrictions in Australia and New Zealand during Covid were prohibitive to overseas travel and certainly influenced his lack of overseas racing certainly up the end of 2021.

Maybe Gen 3 will level the playing field.

The intensity of RBART and Mr Van Gisbergen is easily comparable to the early 2000’s when Mr Ambrose and SBR took on Mr Skaife and HRT every single week at the highest level.

It only takes 2 cars and 2 teams to make for great racing..

Mr McLaughlin’s departure seems to have neutered the intensity from DJR to some extent, in budget or tech, or engineering or management or something less obvious..

It is difficult to see where any car/team/drivers will step up from..

Gen3 may or may not be the saviour here.

**GTRMagic** · 8 Dec 2022, 09:46 (Ref:4136414)

MSR Out of Super2 in 2023

Some stories around this one… with the 2 chassis reappearing with one of the Super3 car owners for his son potentially, and another famous surname.

Not sure if it means the Super3 car owner takes these 2 chassis to exit his involvement at MSR, after news stories of wanting to pull back involved from a management perspective from next year..

Sandgroper · 9 Dec 2022, 04:32 (Ref:4136529)

Seems to have been a busy Friday

GT out at 888 and off to Grove.

Closer to home and a development role also. Not a bid gig.

Was he offered the role at 888 or were they looking at their other options?

Jack65 · 9 Dec 2022, 05:11 (Ref:4136531)

Probably came down to $$$. Tander with SVG would probably have gone into next year's enduros as favourite, something that won't happen at Grove. Imagine the world and its wife has put up their hand for the drive, but seems pretty obvious that Lowndes and Whincup will be the co-drivers with no wildcard.

Seems the obvious choice I would guess.

Kingair · 9 Dec 2022, 08:02 (Ref:4136536)

Interesting Friday afternoon in Supercar land.

If SVG and Broc, are in a heated battle for the championship title it could be a bit of headache for the T888 gurus who gets which co-driver.

Or does Mr Stanaway get a gig as SVG’s co-driver?

Mr Tander's son was placed in the Grove Academy for junior karters... so adds to the reasons...

News stories seem to place Mr Tander as svengali and driver coach to Mr Payne in his rookie year

Cassidy or Stanaway?

With the columnists' choices seemingly Kiwi centric, are there no Australian drivers capable of driving a front of the field car?

Now that is a piece of left field news

You have to give it to Steven Grove. He is some sort of operator. That's a coup.
