The Australian Carrera Cup and Australian GT (aside from the Bathurst 12 hour where there is an influx of top level international teams and drivers) would also be considered lesser series, whereas the Blancpain GT series, World Endurance Championship (where Stanway races) or WeatherTech Sportscar series would be considered a top-level series. With the other Super2 drivers you are taking a punt whether they would be good enough, since many Super2 champions & front runners have only been average Supercars series drivers (average in the sense of being in the middle of the pack, and eventually being dropped, to take Andrew Jones, Greg Ritter, Steve Owen & Dean Canto as examples). Whereas Stanaway, being proven in top level motorsport overseas has a better-than-average chance of being fast and consistent in the Supercars series (unlike the Golding, Muscats etc who may or may not be good enough in the Supercars series -- they might be Dean Canto or Greg Ritter Mk2, or they might be McLaughlin Mk2 and be spectacularly impressive -- its hard to say). [Obviously the top drivers in the top Supercars series are proven in top level motorsport locally.] Last edited by V8 Fireworks; 29 Aug 2017 at 12:44. |

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more rediculous.

If you are winning or running in the top 3-5 in a highly competitive field then this would stand you as a better driver than those that are winning in a less competitive field/competition. I don't think you can discredit current competitors and refer to them as essentially "unproven nobodies" |

Also, to the couple who are none believers, explain why I have not said a thing for the last two years, leave school and go into studies this year, nothing and then something is said, I don't talk on forums too often, as more trolling happens then actually conversation. Strange that my friend has a strong opinion and is a race fan too, they have gone straight into working with cars, I'd say they know. Last edited by mceci1; 30 Aug 2017 at 03:20. |

Russell to LDM a possibilty next year if he secures the coin off the back of a decent endurance program? He seems one of the few willing to pay more coin once he has already experienced their inner workings |

It could also have been a 'floater', an idea to plop out in the world to see who calls up Garry & Barry with offers of drivers, RECs, sponsors etc. Not that that kind of thing has ever happened before |

That is true, its one thing to want to join, but like Richie and the others, his best bet is to do some mileage in development first to get attention. Good for the sport though to see names coming from overseas and having a real interest

Names of Premat and Dahlgren would be enough for me to do it, no failed drivers, come to V8s with no experience, look what happened. Anyone thinking they can jump into a car straight away without some sort of V8 mileage is destined to fail. Richie and PRA made a wise choice
