a number of dunlop team if it comes with some finances, maybe MWM,

In theory though PRA are probably the best set up for it with them running a 5th car at bathurst a couple of months later

PRA would be struggling to throw an extra (a 6th) chassis into the enduro season due to a lack of cars...

All 6 PRA Falcons (4x main game, 2x Dunlop series) are currently in service, when Mr Winterbottom's new chassis comes on line, the team then likely has enough cars to meet the Bathurst commitment for the Harvey Norman SuperGirls...

Wonder if there are any more new cars in build at PRA?

Erebus?

Plenty of chassis sitting around. One hasn't even been Christened yet.

I was very sure that every one of their chassis got used in that horror enduro season for Holdsworth?

Ash Walsh to #14 Freightliner Holden For Enduros

It could be argued that this may be a risky pick..

Mr Walsh hasn't covered himself in glory in the Carrera Cup so far... crashes and spins and other crashes remain the memories of that campaign at the moment...

He did manage a race win in all of that, though.

Mr Denyer might've been a better choice, although I hear he could wind up elsewhere.

Thought Mr. Denyer was a Ford man? (Although he did drive a Kelly Krate Commodore in 2011)

It seems that Dragon are eyeing off a wildcard entry in a new GRM built COTF chassis.

It's a large fleet in the Dragon shed, the BJR #21 VF, the 2 GRM-run VF Dunlop series cars, this new GRM-built unraced VF, the Dragon-run VE for Ms Angelo and the ex-PWR VE ride car....

The fleet would have included the #4 VF too.. however there may have been a gazumping going on there

Oli Gavin back for Bathurst and the GC with LDM but not Sandown:

Of more interest though, seems things haven't quite settled down at LDM with recently hired staff jumping ship...

It would be a difficult proposition to work for an organisation that is fundamentally underfunded... there may be little opportunity for ingenuity & innovation when the resources aren't there to try stuff...

It's like any workplace really. When there's uncertainty over where your wages are coming from, it's natural to want to assess your employment options.

Ingall in at Nissan?

Potential co-driver role for Rusty. Nothing like guaranteed TV coverage to open some doors.

What chance The Enforcer after "testing" a nissan today

No drivers named at PRA, surely that's not correct, with less than 5 months to sandown, or are they named and just not sure which car

Canto?

for some reason. I think these have been reported, but just not locked into cars yet
and it was going to be a choice between lebrocq and jacobson

edit Dean Canto committed to Prodrive co-drive

This would suggest that canto is locked in at PRA for 2016, just not which car

My Favourite 08 moment was when Courtney/Besnard comeback drive at Bathurst. Courtney raced through to dominate the opening stint had 15 sec. gap to Lowndes who was in 2nd. In the 2nd stint a slowly deflating tyre (originally diagnosed as a damaged anti-roll bar) slowed Besnard's stint in Courtney's car allowing Whincup to assert dominance over the field rest of the race. On lap 160 S.Richards, fading badly on rear tyres was unable to stop Courtney move into 3rd place.
