Hmmm never thought about that all I know is that he's got Coates Hire coming on board probably but now Morris Finance seems unlikely

So given the above posts were only separated by 20min, with a complete flip included, any chance the posting of rumours can be culled to maybe a daily update?

I thought they had ceased sponsorship of BJR but they seemed to have back flipped. I'm sorry if that was annoying for anyone but why attack me just for posting things I heard and haven't heard? So far that's the only time I've been wrong so far I post what I hear from within the Supercars community sometimes it's going be wrong I admitted that so why post that?

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Its a silly season thread, one of its key purposes is to discuss rumours.

Perhaps the crotchety old timers should cut the newbie some slack.

Im enjoying the rumours and there seems to be some basis for them

One thing we do know is that several teams havent shared when they are launching for 2017

BJR has been super quiet considering they have a new pilot and new brands to talk about in their programs.

NisMoAu has been completely absent, the VESA stories carrying the SdS the only stories going on with them. There arelikely new brands here, as well as the new pilot, yet completely noiseless

Prodrive have launched in absentia, their merchandise website sharing SuperCheap, Bottle O, Mega & Monster as title sponsors. Yet no look at the art....

Tekno have seemingly gone to hide under a rock, a new technical team, a new title sponsor, and nothing is out in the world..

Team18 have said very little, and they have anew shed to show off..

GRM are busy de-😚Volvoising so their noiselessness may make sense

WP are busy hosing off all that Holden muck from their gear, and they have a new shed to talk about too, plus a new pilot, and a much different sponsor/funding mix

Erebus is not quite clear, new car for #9, the old #9 for #4, yet what does any of it look like? Some of the newer suggestions for the Penrite car arent half bad, but surely something is going on there somewhere

And LDM.. 2016 proved even they dont know what branding is going on their cars till the first race... new pilot, backing...

While DJRTP & 888 are out in the world showing off their new wares, brands, people...

Its TOO QUIET.....

That was a good read i would describe the current situation as the calm before the storm. Speedcafe posted today that Nissan are launching on febraury the 9th so is there any updates about the future of sengled? And at least 1 of the LDM cars will be revealed this Thursday driver and all

Here it is

Kelly will again race with primary support from Carsales in this year’s Supercars Championship, continuing a partnership that began in September, 2015.

Carsales are signed on to sponsor Todd this year I would think it could be his last year, it is in his teams best interests that he should step away from full time driving after this year. It does seem like the #55/#56 garage may outperform the #5/#6 garage this year with more experience on there side

You have to admit, that with all the changes going on, it has been a relatively quiet off-season for news.

Probably fair to say that the Powder Room has some competition in the form of the Fantasy Fiction section

The best thing really is for Nissan to stay consistant with their drivers. I think that Frosty is with Waters and Bright with Mostert for a reason, we wont know why but I feel maybe the two with experience will help the younger drivers
