2025 RVSC Silly Season - Page 7

With the enduros now done and the primary drivers now largely locked in, who are the main players going to be in the enduros. Slade and Winterbottom will enter the co-driver market. But where and at who's expense?

Who rates Slade? When you look at the reasonable seats, who would you set aside to put him in?

Same for Frosty too. Would he do a better job for Tickford than James Moffat? Would he be a good option for Blanchards as a full-timer?

Does Pye stay with RBR
Does Hazelwood stay with Ebus as a C-Driver without Brodie
Slade to C-drive
Frosty should C-drive
Blanchards need "someone"

I'd reckon Pye would accept a co-drive with 888 as long as there's one on offer... anything else would be lesser, and madness...

Blanchards certainly need "someone", but who should that be? I'm thinking it'd be preferable if it wasn't just "anyone"... Of the choices of Frosty and Slade, I'd pick Frosty every day of the week, but he hasn't turned Charlie's things into rocketships, so what chance that he represents an improvement for BRT? He'd bin less cars than Love though...

Pye is contracted to Triple Eight for 2025.

Two-year Triple Eight deal for Pye

Ahhhh I thought he was itching for a full time gig I guess not.

Probably a get out clause if he’s offered a full season drive

**GTRMagic** · 18 Oct 2024, 05:26 (Ref:4231342)

From today’s post-Bathurst Apex Hunters United… it seems Mr Slade is destined for a codriver role with Mr Kostecki in #11 at DJR..

Not sure where that leaves Mr D’Alberto… and suggests this year’s winning duo will not be replicated next season

F J Nedos · 18 Oct 2024, 05:35 (Ref:4231343)

Mr Kostecki had to deflect the codriver question with some vigour at the post race press conference...

Tander to Codrive @ Grove for 2025 & Beyond

Mr Kostecki doesn’t technically work for DJR just yet…

He doesn't have to be, to feel awkward sitting next to the bloke who isn't getting the gig.

Completely agree.. it’s a puzzling choice though.,

Mr Hazelwood pumped up Mr Kostecki’s tyres in every interview he did with anybody across the Sandown/Bathurst races… respectfully deferring to his speed, engineering prowess and knowing what he wants from the car to make it competitive.

You don’t see or hear too many codrivers offering such glowing, positive, meaningful reviews of their alternate seat warmer. Not just once as a platitude to suggest team harmony, instead heartfelt and genuine and absolutely respectful..

Hopefully a great codrive awaits Mr Hazelwood for 2025

**GTRMagic** · 18 Oct 2024, 06:43 (Ref:4231358)

Stanaway Confirmed at PremiAir

…on a 2 year deal…

**GTRMagic** · 18 Oct 2024, 08:38 (Ref:4231368)

No mention of sponsoring the team…

Is there any other thing to do but go to DJR and partner with Brodie?

If Mr Slade has already been given that seat, it’s time probably not able to happen

Mixer · 18 Oct 2024, 11:04 (Ref:4231390)

I just wonder what might have been had MSR put Todd into a 888 car instead of the Falcon that nobody can drive.

Courtney as real estate agent. Why? Run out of money?

Even if I had enough money tomorrow to not work, I would still work.

Codrivers @ Erebus?

888 Goes Back To Super2

In two ex-MSR ZB Commodores, one of which was the Jake Kostecki car they ran at Bathurst and converted from VF to ZB…

Quite what that does for Mr Walker and Mr Goodall who are/were in these cars this year is of course unclear (and nobody asks..)

Anyone betting whether Mr Walls becomes the SuperCheap pilot for the wildcard

**GTRMagic** · 22 Oct 2024, 03:19 (Ref:4231948)

Meanwhile, on this week’s FCTTN, it was suggested that Boost Mobile may well take a prominent branding position on the PremiAir Camaros next season.

As an aside.. it is odd that the very chassis Mr Adderton ordered but never took delivery of from 888 may actually be Mr Stanaway’s steed next season..

Mr Jones wants to stay on as team principal (according to the article) regardless of new ownership. This could make for a challenge for an entrepreneurial type who thinks they can make an immediate difference to outcomes.
