Simona is running an older car, of unknown Tech, but while she is not a pay driver, she does have the gig because of the finances that come with her being female and thus is technically the same as a pay driver |

Again you have missed the point. He's not talking about the head of Nissan. He's talking about the bloke who did the commercial deal for Supergirls/Renee/Simona The Kelly Krate has been much discussed. The theory goes that the Kelly's have always struggled to field 4 competitive cars...the 4th car has always been lacking. Keep up. |

Quote "The Bloke at the head of it all...". That can be a range of people, ranging from Rick and Todd to Emery |

Wouldn't say the 4th car at PRA gets any less attention than the other 3 but obviously if any new development parts come along that may be in short supply they naturally go on the cars most in contention from a Championship standing point of view.

Suggestions that Renee Gracie may've split with her management group?

Wasn't the primary difficulty of this squad the sourcing of commercial partners? It will be interesting to see how a brand switch might fix that |

Will Mr Dumbrell still get commercial assistance from former HMS staffers going forward?

Couldn't hurt, and the bashing on LDM lately is going high, so why not change to Ford, but it does show one thing, LDM aren't as financially disadvantaged as we think, unless a Ford team is helping at a drastically reduced price or the new co owner is doing a lot

Judging by a dearth of corporate support here, there is a LOT of work to do to get to those kinds of numbers.... |

LDM don't buy much from Triple Eight.
Different engines, different shocks, cars are still in 2013 spec for the most part. |

With quotes attributed to the team owner as well... Seems an expensive proposition to switch to a Falcon V8 if it is set to be replaced in 2019 by a Mondeo body shape. There was another mob looking to change to FPR Falcons some time ago... they didn't pursue their interest... |

Fusion is the logical choice for a Ford team, similar shape to the FGX makes aero easier to deal with, compared to a Mustang, which is a complete restart. A four door looks better too in my opinion, I only like the old 2 door falcons, cant be done and look as good as the old ones on a new car
