Supercheap even ran that ad campaign where Russell Ingall, Paul Morris and Nigel Barclay helped a bloke see the error of his ways when they learned he'd parked a Falcon and a Commodore in the same garage. Could have been a catastrophe.

The concept of driver loyalty to a brand is diminishing quicker than WR's chances of scoring a decent result.

No point being loyal to a brand, if they're not loyal to the sport.

With no title sponsor yet, are BJR entertaining the idea of benching the long serving co-driver of #8 in favour of a pay driver?

Co-driver spot in #21 is up for grabs.

Mr M. Jones will be shifted over to #8.

Todd isn't exactly a pay driver, but I do think we will see him in the ENDURO's. I'd go as far as saying if he gets what he wants in Dunlop this year we will see him take over #21 next year. Tim hasn't done a good job at all.

Try and pay attention

Tim can do as well or as poor as he likes.

And given he said at the start of the year that if he was at the back underperforming again he was going to move to a team owner and hire a driver under BJR customer. Makes sense to look at Todd. Has more talent then others

Mr Hazelwood is very much a pay driver.

He sourced the bulk of the sponsorship on the #35 Super2 car himself.

Sponsorship in Iseek actually came from Matt Stone. It was there before with MSR in 13, and stayed through to this year. Hazlewood sourced his current sponsor and is a battler, not a parent pay for all.

That makes him a pay driver ie. brings his own backing.

I read it as a suggestion that he might land at the #21 next season.

You might find the Parmalat dowry is not as strong as envisaged, or indeed as strong as in previous years. Mr Pither's claim to a full time seat at LDM for this season was apparently predicated on a range of other brands on that car, with a very small ICE BREAK logo set aboard

It may well have an impact - I posted it in that thread due those thoughts. PP has been a big driver of the precinct idea and no doubt the headlines about him with the CCC probably don't help Ipswich's rep at state/national govt level.
