The Erebus Way.... (merged)
From 3rd best team in 2012, to 3 of the slowest cars at Clipsal, SBR has a new name, a new owner and some beautiful sounding new cars....
Many were picking the new SBR to be ahead of the Kelly’s in the battle of the new cars to the class, but while it appears that it’s status quo in the Kelly gangs pace department, the first outing for the Mercedes has been a monumental leap backwards for a team that last year had all three of their wagons finish the Championship in the top 10.....
So, where to for Erebus from here? Will we see the know how that made SBR a perennial contender drag the Mercs to some more respectable results in the first half of the season, or will the car suffer longer term with a lack of straight-line speed as the German maestro’s prioritise a looming European season where they have skin in the game, ahead of a customer deal on the other side of the world.... has doing things the “Erebus way” turned the the former Falcon powerhouse into a well financed also rans?
