Will SVG be served papers at Pukekohe?

[BackSeat Driver]

If I were an evil person then serving papers to SVG to stop him from competing this weekend would be the perfect time.

Home crowd/country
Travel expenses incurred
Lawyers & support network not close to hand

It would be a pretty low blow . . . . . but Im looking at it from both sides of the fence.

[Armco Bender]

Build a bridge....get over it...

[peckstar]

hasnt he already been served?

[Downoz]

But by the same token if he is served with anything, what is stopping him from doing the same to the others (Erebus). I think that it might be all over, dont know but not much information on it.

[BackSeat Driver]

I think if nothing happens this round then nothing will ever happen. The Stones seem like too nicer people to do anything, and I believe they are the only party involved.

YOUNG V8 Supercar star Shane van Gisbergen will become the longest-serving driver for respected race team Stone Brothers Racing, having signed with the team for a further three years.

"It's a pretty cool feeling to be able to keep all our relationships going," van Gisbergen said this morning of knowing he'll be at the team until at least the end of 2015.

"I definitely think I can win the championship with SBR. That is the main reasons I wanted to stay. I wouldn't have stayed if I didn't think that."

if this is true then I can see a court case van Gisbergen v stone
van Gisbergen awarded damages

Ah! But the Stones became Erebus Motorsport, negating the fact SVG was going to race for Ross and Jimmy. SVG was fed up with the politics surrounding SBR/EBM, didn't like the fact they were swapping from Ford to Mercedes, etc. He felt that all of that was a negative (which caused a bout of depression) and wanted out. Can't say that I blame him.

Do you know this as fact? Has he been quoted as saying any of this in press?

One thing he did say was in no way had ever said or implied he was suffering from depression.

[GTRMagic]

You would think Mr Van Gisbergen would be fed something better than papers... I mean there is only so much Rocklea Road you can eat, without resorting to being served papers..

He said that he wasn't diagnosed with clinical depression. (From: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/...-1226588763197)

JP: Have you been clinically diagnosed with depression?

SvG: No. Never. Everyone has down moments and I was in a rut. If I carried on it was only going to get worse. Mindset is such a big part of this sport.

If your mind is right, you drive well. I am now loving life.

If you read between the lines, it does sound like he had a depressive state.

No chance of this happening, as it would be a dispute under Australian/Queensland law... NZ courts won't want to get involved in foreign disputes.

[Denosaur]

The way I see it, a lot of time has passed since they first discussed serving him with papers, any longer and it would not be worth it.

Plus given Mr Quinn's current track record of getting what he wants, I'm sure he's had a quiet chat with the Stones and probably resolved the problem.

[Chappelli]

What's dumber than rushing a switch to Mercedes simply because you "like" the brand..... Serving papers on NZ's highest profile V8Supercar driver at his home event.

While they're at it they should also call Richie McCaw a cheat, claim Crowded House and explain to NZ that Wetbix kids are..........

[sollitt]

I thought this topic had already been done to death.

As it happens Chappelli, both Crowded House & Weetbix are Australian.

The horse may not so much have bolted as trotted off into the distance. Like the relevance of this thread.

He does cheat when he plays for Canterbury.

Just a thought but how is this that far removed from the whole David Reynolds/ Kelly Racing thing

I'd say it isn't far removed, on a purely legal level. But a lot of people took the whole 'I'm tired haha lol actually nah I'm not" thing personally as deception, instead of what it probably was - badly executed PR.

David who? he was the number 4 driver for a team who was paying him little cash and wouldnt even give him a contract. He didnt lie to his supporters about the change either. And he never announced he was taking some time off.

significantly different.

What on earth was Fabian tring to do last night on TV One (NZ) http://tvnz.co.nz/motorsport-news/an...-5401246/video Is he trying to sound like a spoilt bratt or be the king of the mountain. Very unlike him to drag this sort of crap up again and its not normally in his nature.

A wise man, doesnt have his head stuck in the sand either.

I think you named the wrong person as a spoilt brat

Yeah, there's no precedent for the NZ legal system being used as a proxy for foreign bidding:
