Driver announcements for RBHRT have not been announced.

Lot of currency for an ex HRT driver to come home and complete the circle his mentor made.

3 car team has worked for them and there are at least 4 RECs available for lease or buy. Possible expansion opportunities to 4 cars

oh for goodness sake i understood the GT comment, a slight error on my behalf should have said wont be at walkinshaw or whatever name it settles on,

however 155 added "it was announced last month that Whincup and SVG are driving for HRT next year"

and i said "Are you sure about that? wasnt in any of the releases at the time!"

and all you people just want to attack the poster and have totally missed the discussion

how about we discuss the topic instead of posters. 7 posters in the last day( some who have made multiple posts) who would rather talk about other posters that the topic

There is a story around..
...that has Mr Tander bringing Mobil/Holden/Fujitsu/others to his own TanderSport team, created/funded by Paul Little and/or Little Properties, bringing along his Sandown 500 winning 2016 chassis to this future.

yeah one night at the pub me and a few friends came up with this awesome idea on how i can become the prime minister. Had it all worked out

Im suggesting the beverages were flowing freely when that idea was thought of.

Except, Mr Little has history in the sport and has been backing Mr Tander personally for a number of years

It is plausible, it is possible... Is it probable?

Has owned teams before... Tick
Is probably just about a billionaire... Tick

I'd say this is absolutely in the plausible box. After his retreat from Essendon he may have unfinished business in the sport.

Given that Erebus and LDM are hanging in their, the potential for someone better resourced to bring a better result is there.

The bigger thing I think we have missed is that Scott Pye is a 3 year deal somewhere. Is this the first time he has more than 1 year anywhere?

If he takes that little dowry and skips off down the road to Erebus, that makes Erebus a much stronger team than it ever has been.

We're all over the shop, today...

I think the most likely outcome would be a season or two at Erebus. Not unheard of, for Betty to spend up big on drivers, in the belief that she's found the silver bullet to the team's lack of competitiveness.

Tander is quoted as saying he is looking for a 2 year deal "somewhere given his age" So im guessing fulltime NOT endure.........Will it be the GRM Fairytale or LDM or Kelly Gang.

I for one think is awesome for Scott Pye to get a gig with WP and not lost to the game.

Agreed on Pye, however this may be his final chance. Has not really set the world on fire yet in v8 supercars.

time for him to perform
