Do budgets permit?

You'd think GRM would be in a strong position to require the 2nd driver to bring a sizeable budget, whether it be Le Brocq, Jacobsen etc. More good drivers available than seats!

The way the lead drivers were speaking of their codrivers, they don’t expect the copilots to be back either....

That's a bit too cryptic for me GTR.

Are you implying Messrs Luff and Perkins did not do a good job?
Or are they simply being replaced in future by Andretti employees?

^This.

As it is, we seem to have a glut of capable steerers, worthy of a co-driver gig in the maingame. Bringing internationals over, adds very little (Nb. Mr Premat and Mr Stannaway being the exception to the rule).

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
De Pasquale in frame for Erebus seat

In my mind there are a few people who might be better for this, But still should be capable after a learning curve

The drivers and some engineering crew seem to think they will not be invited back...

Having seen that Andretti's Formula E team supported by BMW now has a significantly upweighted engineering resource coming from the car maker, what does Andretti bring to the table there? And here.. that isn't manufacturer aligned?

I think Andretti will rock the boat,
he stated he already had his team drivers wanting to journey and race down under.

I would be nervous.

I hardly think that the prospect of Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti, Zach Veach or Alexander Rossi saying they want to drive a Supercar would really be making anyone in the series nervous

Under current rules, there is little point in hiring overseas drivers for the enduro's. And putting Indycar drivers in as a wildcard in cars completely foreign to anything else they touch, would just embarrass them.

Bright REC Key To Silly Season

Clumsily written speculation story on the official site...

It is unclear specifically whether Mega is staying at PRA or going elsewhere. Wouldn’t have been hard to ask that directly, rather than rework a hypothetical...
