No mention if the Clipsal 500 will revert back to two 250km races. I'd be bummed if they don't, the event hasn't quite been the same since the change.
 
KL will be much tighter with no stops. Plus, Whincup appears wounded. More cars dialed in to COTF.
 
Which would involve cutting off one of the major arterial routes into the city centre, and so isn't really practical.

I work out of the CBD of Adelaide, the circuit already blocks off a major route, I'm sure for one weekend the south eastern end can suffer through it, couldn't count how many times in consecutive weeks I've been delayed 40 odd minutes with those pests called football fans through the AFL season,
 
Got to applaud PRA for going to the the extra effort of fitting gullwing doors to the Falcon. Awesome. :lol:
 
Too bad they can't keep the wheel covers.

Just saw someone post that on Twitter. Fits in with the rumours that Erebus will be only fielding one entry next year.
Tekno is based in Queensland from memory, so it wouldn't require Davison to move. And it would indeed fit in with the rumours that Erebus could field just the one car due to funding.

So glad the Foxtel deal was done when it was. A lot more teams would be heading that way if it wasn't for thar deal.
 
David Wall....

Heavenly father. Not Wall. Please no.

"Currently with Ash Walsh on a two-year deal, the squad entered both of its Racing Entitlements Contracts before last week’s deadline and is said to be looking for a proven winner to lead the team.

Drivers still on the now thinning market include David Reynolds, whose Prodrive Ford is expected to be taken over by Cameron Waters next year, and unsigned Nissan driver James Moffat.

Davison’s exit will free up significant budget at Erebus, which is said to have been paying the driver in excess of $800,000 per season, making him one of the highest paid in the sport."

I don't know how much Reynolds is worth but, I bet Gracie would get the call before him.
 
Now at Teckno he'll not be the number 1 or number 2 driver but, the number 4. Stacking behind Lowndes should be fun for every race.
 
Again, Reynolds is already confirmed for another year in PRA, was announced at Bathurst.....

He's not confirmed yet. No official announcement has been made, but there were strong whispers that he'd stay there. But now there's another batch of strong whispers that Waters has the seat. The rumours have been going back and forward for the whole year.
 

Tim Edwards was pretty cringeworthy as the Doc, that being said I can't imagine Roland Dane doing any acting, the Triple 8 joke is pretty great too

It would have been AMAZING if the 2nd half hadn't been after Bathurst and like the films made a great prediction :lol:

V8 Supercar drivers make that much...wow
 
Tbh, that's average i saw a news paper article a few years ago that showed basically 10 drivers are making over a million and some over 4(Lowndes is highest paid).
James Courtney has been hovering around 1.5mil per season since he entered the sport, only went low when he was forced to DJR for under 500k per year, wins championship and done nothing since, yet still at 1.5ish mil...
