Mr Slade's driving contract is said to be independent to the #47 REC remaining at Erebus. And it says 'aim' still not 'will'

Mr R's rec is there on a business deal, and the end of the current deal a new arrangement will need to be made., or Mr R may take his rec to whoever has a better business deal. I think he will stay though

No. The headline of the story says Slade is staying, but nothing in the
actual article confirms this. It's all about Erebus aiming and being hopeful
of keeping the status quo.

"Maddison said his team was hopeful of keeping all three cars and the current three drivers for the 2014 season".
“our aim is to enter the 2014 season with the same structure of drivers, cars and crew we have at present".

Slade or Rosenberg don't make a statement about it either. It may well come to pass that they do stay,
but at the moment nothing has been confirmed, other then another misleading story title.

That's right........the headline says Slade is staying.

Taken directly from the artice and it says they are HOPEFUL, not that they are.

Umm, my original post said "No planned change for Erebus", not that there won't be any unplanned change.

According to Mr McLaughlin's FB this morning, he has announced his deal at GRM has been extended til the end of the 2016 season

No moving to HRT for him then...

Pro Racer · 22 Jul 2013, 01:07 (Ref:3280308)

hmmm Slade in WR/HRT looking more certain or will they recycle Old Mate Spud Murphy?

also good to see loyalty from Scotty & aswell as it being good news for Garry & the Volvo venture.

Awaits for said driver after 12 months to say that he needs a break and then miraculously recharges the batteries to find himself in a more competitive drive.

Depending on which car he gets, 2 , 22, or 66.
2 is secured,
22 ??????
66 - Will supercheap have a say

Spud maybe good for Supercheap, here and in NZ

Former V8 Supercars champion James Courtney looks set to remain with the Holden Racing Team next season as contract talks draw to a close.

Like he was set to sign with FPR a few years ago, is this just another ploy by Gow for something more in a contract or is it true, what to believe from these guys now.

Courtney staying at HRT to the end of 2016

Because there are several other options, who would be as competitive, arguably less expensive, and likely deliver better on-track results.

Surely FPR have to bring Mr Mostert into the stable proper. The kid is a star in the making.

I can't for the life of me think why CS went for Alex Davo instead of Chaz, unless it was the sponsor.

Leave him at DJR. That way he cant join the 'shot in the foot' club when the strategy or pit stops or prep cacks itself

I would guess Courtney would be more marketable that a lot of the guys looking for a drive. But I was surprised yes.

T-star · 29 Jul 2013, 01:43 (Ref:3283103)

Where did the 'WOFTAM' post go GTR?

Just because you got one wrong doesn't mean you have to be all cranky about it.

I dare say Courtney is more valuable on and off track than any other candidate would have been.

The post Here is still in the Qld event thread, where it was when I posted it

T-star · 29 Jul 2013, 02:53 (Ref:3283120)

Yep. My mistake.

Still, what available drivers would you have chosen ahead of Courtney?
