That would make it what, 7 cracks at the main game without a recognisable result?

I think people need to face facts, guys like Canto, Steve Owen, Luffy, Jack Perkins can't seem to but it in the sprint rounds, despite excellent enduro performances.

3-days out from Clipsal and no proper launch for PRA #6 or Tekno #19. Seriously the trucks would be being loaded by now. Poor form. The fact that the race guide is missing entire entries because of team PR shenanigans shouldn't be excusable.

Maybe the deals haven't been formalised until late in the day? I don't get why any of it is "poor form" or "shouldn't be excusable", deals get done when they get done.

We'll know what the cars look like when they are lined up on the grid, that is the main thing.

peckstar · 28 Feb 2016, 21:08 (Ref:3618489)

Darrell Lee Stix again to sponsor Tekno

mayhem · 28 Feb 2016, 21:27 (Ref:3618497)

Very good news for Tekno, although I wonder why such a late announcement? Offered TQ a deal he couldn't refuse perhaps?

mayhem · 28 Feb 2016, 23:01 (Ref:3618517)

Auto Action reporting Darrell Lea are paying a reduced rate this year for naming rights. Perhaps all that extra TV money is finally paying off...?

I for one am glad Will is giving it 110% percent again this year, I'd be disappointed if he didn't promise a physical impossibility again.

Likewise its about time for Frosty to come out and say he's going to be tough this year and win the championship.

Backagain · 28 Feb 2016, 23:45 (Ref:3618525)

So excited Supercars are sparing no effort making the racing better to watch. May have to get Foxtel now.

Well Jnr Johnson isn't here anymore to tell us all how fit he is this year, someone has to take up the mantel. What more do you expect?

The difference is that Frosty DID win the championship, Will D has never come close to delivering his claimed 110%

Yeah but 1 out of 15 years you would almost put it down to luck

Will D went very close in 09 until some fluid on the track in Perth.

Razor · 29 Feb 2016, 11:48 (Ref:3618632)

Also Bathurst 2010 until he side-swiped the top of the mountain and got hurt.

Waters Confirmed. http://www.speedcafe.com/2016/03/02/...rd-for-waters/

mayhem · 1 Mar 2016, 19:09 (Ref:3619070)

Monster joins FPR.

Waters confirmed finally. Oddly handled in the the lead up to this announcement, I gotta say.

Average Punter · 1 Mar 2016, 19:46 (Ref:3619077)

At the same time PRA announce a deal with a global company like Monster, HRT has inked a deal with a little plumbing company that makes hose fittings...

How the mighty have fallen

mayhem · 1 Mar 2016, 21:00 (Ref:3619109)

If past stories about FPR's cut price sponsorship packages are true, SharkBite Plumbing Solutions are probably paying more than Monster.

Reliance Worldwide Corporation

Currently setting up for a A$1bn+ IPO in the next few weeks...

Website Here

However you might assume from the lateness of the deal, the lack of integration of the signage and the lack of jumping up and down by WP about the deal, that it isn't a huge arrangement....

I guess if its enough to pay for the paint, its more than HSV provided, maybe more than monster provided

PRA: Devaluing sponsorships since 2004.

Wow! I thought we weren't allowed to share our opinions on the business practices of V8SC Teams?
