Because historically anyone with the right cheque book could enter the ATCC... Even team owners such as Rod Nash have raced.
Given the LDM business model relies on a paying customer to prepare the car for, it limits their revenue. Quote:

Dunlop Tyres Japan is operated by Sumitomo. Dunlop Tyres is owned and operated by many different companies depending on region, it's remarkably complicated. I wonder if there are quality differences?

Hard to argue yes when most Super2 meetings has one or both cars with accident damage... |

Funny that the Kostecki Super2 cars are both newer in age & spec than the LDM rockets... |

Aaren is working backwards into the season from the Newcastle event, from what I understand. i.e. the more money he can find, the more events he can do leading up to Newcastle.

I thought with his plus fitness money he'd be really well backed enough to afford a LDM seat. I agree there was talk of novocastrian Motorsport wildcard at Newcastle

Interesting story around at the minute has MSR looking to take up a wildcard at Bathurst.. for the 2 Commodore Super2 pilots. Apparently running Mr Marjoram's current chassis..
Could be interesting if true.. |

I hear further to that that there is a push from different places for MSR to step up as a one car team in the main series, perhaps beginning some time this year...

Hope it's true. Hazelwood would be much better off as a wildcard with MSR than taking one of the LDM enduro spots.

LDM was pretty much his only way into the maingame, and to be frank he deserves better than that.
Going it alone with MSR, is not a bad alternative. |

There's was also a rumour of Eggleston Motorsport running a potential wildcard as well. Also according to an article least year Image/Dragon have had a 3rd chassis built up in preparation for a potential wildcard

There is a strong possibility that chassis is already being raced in GRM colours.

It would be great to see another Nissan... I guess it does have updates on it which helps. |

That's already been confirmed, Hazlewood will be doing Ipswich as a wildcard. Unless you're talking about them going full-time or doing more rounds.

That's interesting. I'm guessing that former REC holder might be one of the Stone Brothers, considering Matt is their son/nephew and that the REC will be from LDM (I mean, where else would it come from at the moment, unless there's something else going on behind the scenes?)
I wonder if Todd would make the move up with them or if they would get another driver in the car and give Todd time to finish out the Super2 season. |
