Tickford tipped to make shock driver change

Especially when the last time it allegedly happened, involving allegedly a particular commentator still in residence in Texas... it became widely known quite quickly, although I dont believe it landed in the funny papers either

So what has Zak Best done wrong that FRP wont put in the main game?
Surely hes the best young talent out there at the moment not running?

Exactly.... Zak is a Tickford driver and on par with Fraser ability wise, probably more experienced given his enduro and wildcard drives.. He was impressive at 'the Bend' although less so at Hidden Valley.

After the 2021 Bathurst co drive Edwards was glowing in his review of Zak's performance

Unless Fraser comes with a cheque.

Or perhaps pinching a driver 888 had their sights on adds value to the equation…

[GTRMagic]

Stanaway to 888?

[Kingair]

I had mentioned Mr Stanaway in early December, could be the Kiwi Dream Team2.0.

Well Boost and or Stanway do have a 888 Car also = Wildcard

Does it though. I thought Zac Best would be the ideal choice.

Is the aim to go fast or annoy 888?
The 4th Tickford car is not renowned for regularly troubling the trophy givers

A very expensive experience just to annoy 888

Depends what the contribution to budget might be..

[GTRMagic]

Interesting to see the #34 MSR run commodore in Mr Morris’ Norwell shed, being prepped/birthdayed by that team.. Dunlop series?

So Declan Fraser a lock at FPR supposedly to replace JK- as per Autofiction

I think if this is true, its a good move, if all 4 x Tickford cars are the same then Jake did an ordinary Job. so good luck to Declan

Shame for Zac Best, however Fraser will come with sponsorship I guess

JK out is now confirmed "by mutual consent" but no replacement nominated.... although Fraser was said likely to be the one.

If the AA article recalling the alleged clash between Mr Pye and Mr Kostecki is correct, it was detailed that the Erebus CEO attempted to stop the physicality, and as expressed in the article, became “collateral damage”

Seriously??

[GTRMagic]

Stanaway to 888

[Kingair]

The Kiwi dream team!

Now let’s see what Richie can do in a T888 car.

Nice link you got there GTR.

Wouldn't that be a Police matter?

[Sandgroper]

Richies come full circle.
Good for him. Something Seemed to be on the cards considering his friendship with SVG and the purchase of a 888 Camaro and no entry into the main game other than a Wildcard and Co-Drive.

On another note., I guess with no other fulltime gigs being available does FABS stay with WAU ?

Story gets bigger with every telling.

Not suggesting it is false info, but I've read most V8 articles and not read this part?
Do you have a link to this one GTR?

Pretty poor effort by Jake if all true.

I read about the altercation somewhere. Not sure where though.
