I wouldn't say purely because of tyres, but it's a definite contributing factor.

Peter Hackett is no longer part of Erebus.
Confirmed on his own facebook page. |

Last I heard was it would be after Clipsal as Erebus' participation beyond that was not guaranteed. Will we see either of the SLS at Adelaide now?

Maybe a last shot at redemption if he'd won B12 with Slade and Holdsworth?

GTR, you picked this a while ago but Hackett on his Facebook said that he only found out about it by rumour. Is he pretending that he never saw it coming ?

I wonder if this is the response to binning the SLS at Homebush last year. Is Betty another Craig Gore who gets rid of drivers everytime they make a mistake ???

I think you'll find they havn't dodged anything, you're still responsible for any pics you post (on another forum i'm on, you either cover the swear words, or get a holiday for evading the swear filter)

Lol, Niko Bellic is the main character from Grand Theft Auto 4, this individual would infact be Steven Bell. Some people astound me....

Yeah that was an even bigger shock then Hackett splitting from Erebus tbh.
So if a MB Dealer team sprang up (supposing all this happened..) then whos paying the bills, highly doubt that anyone in MB Oz could be convinced to part with the cash.. |

Expect another erebus 1-2 now!
Its fantastic that erebus are taking things to another level in both this event and considering tackling asian endurance events but its a pity that no other pro drivers as such are going to have seats in others cars to give them a fight or improve the show for the championship. Klien is incredibly talented so it will be interesting if he can overcome his lack of track and gt3 experience to win. (having performed very reasonably in ingalls v8supercar in the endurance races i would say he is going to put a good fight for baird) Big question is how many races will Erebus field either driver in for the remainder of the championship? As far as peter goes, every guest driver last year out shone his efforts and he threw away a championship. With the team taking it to another level losing his seat was on the cards. |

If the cars are going to be mothballed for the rest of the season as rumours go then why are they being entered for Clipsal and with two guest drivers? No championship to fight for if you dont enter the rest of the races throughtout the year.
