should be interesting to see what Ford/clowndes gets away with this year. don't think i'll be watching to many races

[STEALTHY™]

I have checked the Motorsport forum and HRT and cant see anywhere that they're running a 3 car team.

[crazybiker]

Are you allowed to run a 3-car team?

[STEALTHY™]

Are you allowed to run a 3-car team?

Yeah, SBR have a technical alliance with Bright.

Walkinshaw is said to be running a 4 car team (ala HRT and HSV Dealer team, but different names now). Teams like this have to sacrifice test days.

Perkins is classed as a 4 car team, wth Kellys driving 2 of them, Jack will be in the other, and the 4th seat isn't confirmed (still trying to get the TKR license i think)

[crazybiker]

Ahh. Well thanks.

New piece of information.

info supplied by neil crompton bigpond/panelbeaters

[baracuda]

thought the kelly boys still have allegence with HSV/HRT and walkinshaw racing

[STEALTHY™]

Nope, definitely not with Walky anymore. Its a technical alliance with Perkins. Not sure if that effects test days or not tho.

Burnz, theres plenty of places on the net that have up to the minute info, which is usually more updated that crompo!

Yay V8 Supertrains...the most boring racing category in the world. Sadly, it used to be the best...stupid project blueprint.

The thing is, they still keep withdrawing it!

I agree, bring back the days of equal standing!

ive herd that his eye brows have increced in size, thus giving him even more ability to push cars of the track, bat his eyebrows at officials and get away with it

i have this un natural urge to get his eyebrows waxed lol

theres a video online (i tryd to find it but couldent) its craig tallking to i think eric bana, lowndes gets asked if hell ever drive for ford and he says ittl take a lot of money for him to do that

[RVN 355]

[terry1991]

Bloody oath, was watching the red bull promotion video explaining all the changes etc. I think this year will really show driver skill over how much money a team has. We can only hope anyway.
