Why would anyone with a road car want them to go to 6000 rpm let alone go past it?

I just heard this one is due to be announced this arvo. Interesting if it is true but I have it on good authority

hrt_rulz01 · 22 Feb 2007, 23:58 (Ref:1849501)

is this a joke or what? is it april fools??

Motor-head · 23 Feb 2007, 00:04 (Ref:1849504)

Cause of all the dramas with HRT etc, sounds like an impossibility but we'll wait and see. Will be the biggest surprise of the year if it is true but as I said it's on pretty good authority.

Just Do It! · 23 Feb 2007, 00:06 (Ref:1849506)

Is the Skaife/Walkinshaw relationship really that sour?? Or is Skaife trying to prove that he really gives a Jack??

If Steve Owen goes HRT, then that thwarts the SBR situation, but it may JUST happen as it is about time that Holden stopped losing their stars to Ford.

And Steve Owen, well that guy is a real star in the making!

Scott75 · 23 Feb 2007, 00:44 (Ref:1849524)

It won't happen, you'll find its sorted out pretty soon. Skaife seems pretty confident it will be fine. Then the only way to stop all this inuendo is for TEGA to present what HRT and TOLL present to them so there won't be any doubt as to who own and controls what.

Venom XR · 23 Feb 2007, 00:45 (Ref:1849525)

I agree, April Fools Days is well over a month away.

Timu · 23 Feb 2007, 00:45 (Ref:1849526)

Im not sure how high Holden regards him vs a McConville... I think hes a great talent, and with SBR he'll be in good hands.

The only way I can see him going to HRT is if Skaife retires. There is no way he would go to JDR!

Monaro427 · 23 Feb 2007, 01:10 (Ref:1849535)

Where did you hear that? I just heard Lowdes is going to BJR and and Richards lost his drive at FPR. What a load of you know what. How about keeping ONE forum informative at least?

Prickly_Goo · 23 Feb 2007, 01:18 (Ref:1849539)

Gosh I think people are bored, making up rubbish like this. Doubt that:

1) Skaife would ever go to LP
2) Mr Owen to HRT
3) Lowndes to BJR- Wtf is up with that?
4) Like Richo would ever lose his drive at FPR....
and finally 5) April Fools Day is a bit far away yet for jokes like this...

TSR · 23 Feb 2007, 01:20 (Ref:1849540)

If this is true about Skaifey & LP I think it would be a big joke, really if it happens it just goes to show who has owned HRT for the last couple of years, and it is not M.SKAIFE.

Plus Skaifey might be the person to get the JDR back up the front, but who will miss out on there seat little JACK or SHANE, time will tell.

I like the way you sed that TSR.

Lol only thing I can think of if it came to that is that Skaifey and Tommy made a deal that Tommy owns the team but Ol' Skaifey as his name as owner.... or you know like a guarantor sorta thing...

Only thing i can think of.

sad · 23 Feb 2007, 01:35 (Ref:1849552)

i have three words for this rumour I DOUBT IT.but stranger things have happened

Sandgroper · 23 Feb 2007, 01:47 (Ref:1849556)

Skaife leaving HRT would only cloud the issue wouldnt it ?

It would be seen as an admission that he never owned HRT and put all their heads on the chopping block. Championship Title included !

Either that or he would own HRT & drive for another ? Then they would be grouped for testing ala Brighty.

Seton Fanatic · 23 Feb 2007, 02:48 (Ref:1849576)

Despite mutual respect for each other, I don't think that Skaife and Perkins get on particularly well. This stems back to the Group A days, with the GTR, and Perkins' loud public pronouncements against it. Highly unlikely, in my opinion.

Motor-head · 23 Feb 2007, 04:11 (Ref:1849618)

It's questionable whether Skaife had any more business involvment in HRT than having his name on the franchises anyway. Who knows whether this rumour will come to fruition but it would certainly be left of field and a monumental mess to sort out having less than 1 week to Clipsall

SkaifeHRT · 23 Feb 2007, 04:19 (Ref:1849619)

May I ask where you heard this?

Caltex Racing · 23 Feb 2007, 04:40 (Ref:1849630)

Well he already is testing with HRT

deeks6 · 23 Feb 2007, 04:49 (Ref:1849633)

CONFIRMED !!!!

... that this is a silly thread ...

Senna05 · 23 Feb 2007, 05:54 (Ref:1849647)

We agree again, Deeks!

Soon the sky will fall! :P

Every year, start of season, some new moron signs up and stirs us all. Let's all get a little smarter and not reply. Starve the oxygen from a fire, and it dies. Starve the attention form these morons, and they leave.

A9X05 · 23 Feb 2007, 06:43 (Ref:1849652)

Same ol' crap different day!

Rowdy · 23 Feb 2007, 07:41 (Ref:1849671)

It would be funny. Then JDR, HRT and TOOL would all have to be grouped since Skaife "owns" HRT and driving for JDR with the existing 4 car HRT/TOOL team

.
My head hurts.......

6.213km · 23 Feb 2007, 07:55 (Ref:1849680)

So here is the Skaife / HRT rumour thread for the day.

I remember when ten-tenths had a reputation for good solid factual information for race fans.

There has been so much dribble posted on these forums over the last few weeks it's a complete joke.

The moderators need to knock the minority off these forums that post this garbage, before the rest of us that have a real interest in what's going on go elsewhere for our information on Australian Motor Racing.
