Development Series 2007 (MERGED)

pete55 · 24 Sep 2006, 09:08 (Ref:1717445)

I was told today that there will be a few more L1 teams looking to run the Development series next year. This will apparently be be because of the rule coming in that the Main series drivers must remain in their own car for the enduros. Holden i hear will run at least one car, maybe two. Team Dynamik are supposed to run at least one car and other teams i hear will be running are FPR, 888 and Tasman.

The Holden teams looking to run in the development series would make sense, where they are stuck with VZ equipment and nowhere other than the development series to onsell it....

It can also be a lucrative earner for the main series teams... swapping technical expertise that already exists for money that is new and fresh.

pete55 · 24 Sep 2006, 10:05 (Ref:1717465)

Maybe a few current Ford drivers in that series will switch brands in hope of getting enduro drive.

peckstar · 24 Sep 2006, 10:15 (Ref:1717466)

actually the series has already become very holden dominated

its just macrow is domianating. take him out and the next 4 are holdens

pete55 · 24 Sep 2006, 10:27 (Ref:1717473)

Last year was completely dominated by Ford.

Another thing i heard was that an open wheel team is looking at running a car or cars.

peckstar · 24 Sep 2006, 10:36 (Ref:1717478)

i think last year was because the level one ford teams were in the series and they had two a couple of ex main series drivers running as well

where as this year, it has gone back to more of a development series with less Level one support

pete55 · 25 Sep 2006, 12:05 (Ref:1718369)

It seems the open wheel team going V8 racing are going to run Holdens. I have not had time to check out all the facts yet, maybe tomorrow.

pete55 · 25 Sep 2006, 13:03 (Ref:1719273)

No, a long way off Rombles.

I did hear that one but this one is different. A driver with the initials DW is supposed to be one driver. Am looking for some more info on it.

**GTRMagic** · 26 Sep 2006, 02:26 (Ref:1719901)

I thought Mr White was tallking to PMM... or so AA would have you believe

Also a Believer · 26 Sep 2006, 06:35 (Ref:1719965)

Pete

DW heh.

Might have something to do with a current FF driver and his car yard owner father buying two holdens from a well funded Holden main game team and steppig up next year.

Good to see young DW get a run if its true. "cue fantasy island music"

mayhem · 26 Sep 2006, 08:36 (Ref:1720064)

Two Level One teams have sounded out a high profile driver about next year in the Fujitsu Series.

Falcadore · 26 Sep 2006, 09:19 (Ref:1720104)

Might be the best way to keep enduro drivers warm, and get away with additional testing.

Pro Racer · 26 Sep 2006, 09:33 (Ref:1720118)

well maybe thats why holden a testing Ben Clucas and the others they might put tone or two of them in dev series.

birtek · 26 Sep 2006, 10:13 (Ref:1720146)

I dont know if others have heard but it appears that the artist formerly known as Team Dynamik is building 2 cars for next years development series. That Simon Wills will be running but the previous race engineer is not part of this latest venture is also very interesting.

pete55 · 26 Sep 2006, 10:13 (Ref:1720147)

Holden Young Lions will be making a comeback next year in the development series i hear. TW will be running the show.

Timu · 26 Sep 2006, 10:55 (Ref:1720206)

This series is gonna be another cracker in 07! Theres already over-populated grids at some tracks!

pete55 · 26 Sep 2006, 11:04 (Ref:1720215)

Could be another 20 + new cars come into series next year. Of course the old AÚ's will be gone.

peckstar · 26 Sep 2006, 11:37 (Ref:1720240)

maybe we should have a support race for AU,s and old commies,to help reduce some congestion,

how about heats and a final

oh and how about a bigger field at bathurst in the main game, made up of some of these 40+ fields

bondy_racing · 26 Sep 2006, 12:17 (Ref:1720270)

The AU & VX are still able to run next year according to the operations manual.
