Outsourcing the aero and engine development to Polestar has saved them a fair bit of heartache. Clearly, the Swedes are an open-minded bunch, who've been able to get it all to work very well within the confines of the rules.

In terms of who has paid what, you would have to say that Erebus spent most, followed by Volvo, then Nissan... assuming the pitlane chatter is correct |

Wonder if Mr Dixon's ute franchise (owned by Erebus) & car prep is being moved from Image Racing back to its owner's keep? |

Allegedly, the plan was to run at least one car full-time in AusGT.
No doubt, it'll need to be funded one way or another even if it's internal money. |

Honestly, what goes on in her head?? "Last night I cut my finger" Does she really think anyone cares? Considering the less than stellar position her franchise is in, you would imagine she'd be doing everything possible to encourage potential sponsors to part with their cash. Maybe I'm out of touch, but to me posting complete drivel like this is encouraging potential sponsors to RUN LIKE HELL!!!!!! I mean, what kind of positive coverage is she going to get them? It just begs belief the constant stream of crap she posts. "I'm getting fat 'cos I ate too many cakes over the holidays". "This year will be good 'cos uneven number years are always good for me". You'd think she was a 12 year old girl if you didn't know otherwise
Also the fact that the " I cut my finger" is first, and the racing team second, seems to me like her priorities aren't quite where any potential sponsor would want them to be. I mean if she cut her arm off in a gardening chainsaw mishap, sure, but "I cut my finger on the dish rack twice the same way" is hardly the kind of thing I would be telling the world ( I screwed up, but didn't learn and screwed up exactly the same way seconds later for the same result!! Duh me!! ), especially when you're trying to get people to dole out a couple of million so you can go racing. I'm just sick and tired of her whole poor little rich girl / woe is me / I'm a girl taking on the boys / whatever else it is supposed to be routine. It's not working, it's never worked, despite mega $$$$$$$$ and big talent ( Stone Bros ), so admit defeat, and sell the team to someone who might have an honest go at it. No wonder MBA don't want a bar of it. They must cringe like hell every time a race meeting is on. |

I follow the page, but I'm starting to reconsider.
2 years ago, when she was new to the game, what she was posting up was actually refreshing and insightful. Now, as you say, it's cringe-worthy. |

One car seems to be lined up, with Mr Twigg running with the Erebus squad. Presumably his involvement there would also include a B12 entry for this season.

Ryan Maddison used to be head of dealer liason @ MBHQ has some strong ties with dealers but clearly not strong enough pull @ HQ when they can only get Buckle's signage on the car
As for Betty I agree it was a breath of fresh air and great to have MB on the grid but now she comes across as cringeworthy and the rest of the team follows. They just look out of there depth and seriously the way they have treated people like Peter Hackett is shame full. If they had any sense they would replace Maddison with Hackett - at least he has some black top racing experience and is well connected @ MBHQ and is a great networking along with being presentable |

no idea where else to ask this, but when Ch7 showed Will Davison with his name and car number and where the team logo would usually be, they show "Honda" with the Wing symbol instead of "erebus". What bright spark put that against his name (has been for ages - i think from memory even back at HRT)? I bet it doesn't do wonders for his Ducati relationship either

Honda motorcycles likely paid to sponsor the in-car camera in #9..
Arguably, of Erebus had corralled their own sponsor group, they would/could/should have been able to take that signage space. But looks not to have done so |

I don't believe it was (always?) in-car cameras. I'm sure it was when the car was being shown from a trackside camera (also?).
If anyone still has it, showing Will at lap 35-ish of the Sunday race at Homebush reminded me of it. I've now deleted the recording |

Caruso's is probably a more obvious clash with "Penrite" on the graphic and "Castrol" on his race suit.
Would assume that it's a telecast sponsorship offering that a couple of competitive brands are using to disrupt.... |

Either the team pays for the camera and has full control over the pop-ups, or V8SC provide the camera and source advertising revenue adhoc. The team can still place in-car advertising within the camera view regardless.

I'd say the deal is something along the lines of teams pay a fee to have a camera, in return they get incidental coverage from inside the car and first right of refusal on any telecast graphics etc....
