TSR has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
And a 2 year old ex HRT car beats both the factory cars very easy, 888 would be rubbing there hands together at possiably been the only factory Holden team in the future

Its a story from January, but perhaps a Toyota marriage is on the cards, although would think it unlikely they would want to field a V8?

HSV boss in talks with Toyota

"The Collingwood Of Supercars"

Hard to fathom what's going on here.

Not enough toys being thrown out of the pram in public to see..

It can't still be Mark Skaife's fault, can it?

I wonder if the lack of help, paid for or otherwise, from Triple Eight is creeping in?

surely this has to be the end of the line for at least one of the drivers. Surely one wants to leave, even if not pushed

Collingwood of V8 Supercars?

Hardly. The cars aren't stolen and their supporters still have most of their teeth in place.

Do HRT still have supporters? Many more fans in Red Bull or PRA gear at a lot of race meetings these days...

To keep the supporters sweet, the team has to do some winning... and they really haven't been in that space consistently for YEARS...

Most Holden dealers don't even stock HRT merchandise anymore. It's all Red Bull and generic HSV.

The bull ring at Bathurst in the 90's early 00's says otherwise....

About the most strident criticism of HRT I've heard from Skaife. He didn't hesitate in describing the car as a dog.

A crash in the GT race at Phillip Island today has rendered the car out of tomorrow's enduro. Lack of spares?
