Plenty of moving and shaking at Tekno.Are we seeing a future major player in the sport or are they there already ?

Not sure alot has changed since last year, yes they have a sponsor, which is probably just funding SVG's salary and not much more. Still doesnt have manufacturer sponsorship |

They have been heavily promoted in Motor magazine with the Teckno road car division and Webb is a handy steerer when the car is sorted out he has shown this before but like SVG he lacks consistency.
Im no fan of SVG I think he is overated just like Winterbottom and a few others...appears you don't have to do too much these days to be rated as the next big thing. I hope they can strp up the grid a few rungs but lets face it Red Bull are a alot of rungs higher than the rest |

Many people on here claim Jamie is only winning champions because he is in a Triple 8 car, well now SVG will be. Maybe that gives him the consistency he needs |

To be honest i think this could be quite a potent mix. SVG in a 888 car (as mentioned already). We know he's a better than average steerer and add to that also getting regular drives in the supertourers (so more race km's in similar-ish cars)
IF HE GETS IT RIGHT with the team i see no reason why a determined SVG (and i think he will be determined after whats gone on at SBR/Erebus etc) couldn't percievably be up the pointy end maybe mid to late season. Just my thoughts anyways |

Haha JDI, just like he did in the 'Tron' a couple of years back.
Jeez that was a beaut race wasn't it? i remember being there at T3 when he won. Seriously one of the most epic sporting moments in my wee life so far..... hence why i look forward to him at Tekno, and with 97 on the car, sweet as |

I think that Tekno will be seriously fast in 2013, but they will probably fall off when thew equipment stops being close to equal.
I really can't stand Reynolds, lost a lot of respect for him by the way he handled his move to FPR. I also think that his pace in 2012 was more due to the equipment. |

So after Clipsal, you would have to think that they are a major contender in the championship.Are there any negatives to come out of Clipsal ?

Tekno Committed to Supercars
The alignment with 888 would be helping a lot here, yet you might wonder what style of car might be run under Gen2/Gen3 from this operation to support the Tekno Performance brands. |

Interesting the switch to Holden netted them a larger customer base, so therefore they have no wish to move to anything else. That increase in business props up the race team to such a degree that they are willing to take a hit on the costs of running the race team, as long as it is a Holden
