This is a very serious move, hope to see Todd move up the field, you'd think with a solid pedaller in T8 machinery he might get right amongst it with the other single car teams, and perhaps give the Nissans a nudge.

The aero is a known quantity.

Under the skin stuff they can at least lean on Triple Eight for guidance now.

It is interesting to note that they are not getting T8 support until next year, but at least when they get into the ZB they'll be ahead of the game.

Glad they had the balls to change to something they have had success with.

Good luck next weekend, im sure they are not expecting miracles, but more positive results.

Wouldn't be too good if they ended up slipping further back, just to try and prove a point.

That would hardly be an ideal situation for their sponsors.

Might be a case of 1 step back to make 2 steps forward next season. Clearly this season wasn't working, and with their resources and support it was not going to improve. They had to do something.

Probably not so much of a big deal when the bulk of the sponsor group own the cars.

I admire his commitment, but he could use a proof reader though.

Odd they were denied a wildcard. Perhaps not enough media pulling power behind it?

I suspect he'll be in a Super2 car of some description post-enduros, providing the damage bill isn't too high on the #7.

Unless one of the VASC Nissanettes were to step down for that one round...

Probably a far enough idea, Autobarn in NZ is a caravan/RV rental company who would therefore be receiving free advertising.

What point?

They were never offered technical support when they bought the cars (DJRTP Falcons), so I don't understand why they thought it would be a good idea to run them without technical support in the first place.

The alternative would be to do an "Erebus" and put their own MSR front-ends into old DJRTP shells (like Erebus did with old Walkinshaw shells) to recreate the old days of SBR as a full-fledged team with it's own fabrication but I guess that would be too ambitious...
