Jesus Christ, I realise it's social media, but how goddam hard is it to spellcheck a post for a professional team with actual 'staff'.

How do people expect to have decent sponsors when this is their public 'front'?

I count 4 errors in one paragraph.

Heimgartner lost his SBR drive to Pither due to the Ice Break dollars. Could we see history repeat itself at LDM ? Can't help but feel for the young bloke if that happens.

Not to mention the grammar!

WP Coy

Why are they playing ducks & drakes? Is it not interesting to the fans of your operation to know when you will launch the post-HRT universe?

**GTRMagic** · 11 Jan 2017, 23:12 (Ref:3701921)

Errrr...

Looks like a pretty big difference in livery, and a new identity, can't wait for a proper look!

The Holden brand seems to be over the rear wheel arches... where Red Bull used to reside... is that a reduction in budget from Red Bull accompanying a step up from Holden?

While Autobarn seems to have gone missing...

maybe on the caltex car

mceci1 · 12 Jan 2017, 02:30 (Ref:3701949)

Is it me or does the blue and red on this car look very similar to the blues and reds on the Riccardo/Verstappen Formula 1

Would we say this is tied to Mr Dumbrell's co-drive?

Could also be a good synergy, plenty of Caltex sold at Autobarn.

Autobarn is actually a competitor to Holden dealers for parts... which could be why they fell off the car..

Wonder if Komatsu is coming back?

Umai Naa · 12 Jan 2017, 05:05 (Ref:3701961)

I do wonder if their enduro line-ups will change.

There's already been chat of Dumbrell and Premat not coming back this year.

Who could you possibly replace them with?

JT. · 12 Jan 2017, 05:06 (Ref:3701962)

Autobarn is no longer owned by the Dumbrells. It's now owned by Bursons

My guess... Holden & Red Bull...

**GTRMagic** · 12 Jan 2017, 06:01 (Ref:3701968)

AA suggest today that there will be a mandatory all-in test at Eastern Creek on Tuesday February 21st.. to familiarise the teams with the new 2017 tyre constructions!

Dumbrell shouldn't be too harsh on himself, not his fault that Jamie has stuffed up in the ENDUROs for the last 3 years

Thought Alex was a certainty at DJRTP with SMc?

PD was the one who stuffed up at Sandown this year by not having his belts done up.
