There's just one small ingredient missing, however.

Talking 2 years down the track. Felt he has done enough in the last 18 months to warrant the extension.

But his next contract will be interesting, Will be 45 which is getting pretty old in modern supercars. so will be interesting to see what happens, his form in the next two years will be important

Would be an awesome enduro driver in the future i expect (both supercars and sports cars)

Once this contract is up, Roland will sign him up as a co-driver for the enduros.

Just because is turning 45, no need to show him the front door!

By then Erebus could be reaching their peak in two years time, Betty will have signed a ten year deal with Kia to run a hybrid diesel twin turbo three cylinder lift back along with lucrative sponsorship package from one the new legal marijuana manufacturers, and become the new powerhouse in the Virgin Supercars Championship!

I'm not sure Virgin are on board for that long, otherwise perfectly plausible

Adrian Burgess to Tekno in 2018???. He is on gardening leave for the rest of 2017.

Why does not Fox pick him up & use him as a tech advisor for the rest of the year.

Tekno have a close relationship with 888, RD does not have a close relationship with AB (putting that bit kindly).

Havent looked here for a while. It kills the idea of Erebus DJR yes, doesn't mean that Betty wont be looking at Ford. She isn't a fan of Roland or 6's. If they did switch to Ford and built their own it isn't a sign to say they will have no success, Dave knows the FGX and they have built a good car this year. Realistically with the knowledge of signing Dave in 2015 and his success in 15, it would have made sense to run Falcon last year and this year.

Mr Reynolds is not known for his ability to critique a chassis.

Falls into the same pigeon hole as Mr Murphy; when the car's roughly in the window at the start of the weekend, he's good. If it's not, try again next meeting.

In the press conference on Friday.. Mr Reynolds reckoned he couldnt tell the difference between his 2016 WP chassis, and his 2017 JFS chassis...

It must be different though, if it was Walkinslow he would be scrapping into the top 20 by a donkey's tail.

Erebus junked the WP damper package early on, tried SupaShock, tried Sachs too. Didn't think they got the SupaShock to work, but maybe that changed.

You can tell the difference between two otherwise identical road cars, not sure why race cars would be any different
