Is it the age of the PRA chassis that is the problem? How old is Bright's car?

Older then Frosty, Chaz and Cam's I believe, its Frosty's car from early last year which also ran in 2015.

bit hard for a few of them in the older gen cars last year but now it seems to be a lot more even with only a few tenths seperating the top 5 in practice and qualifyng
Bryce Fullwood is also impressing

Doubtful, COTF chassis are all the same... assuming they are repaired correctly after major crashes. It's bits bolted-on that count.

only thing is how much wear the chassis has had. Naturally something that is 3 years old isn't going to be as good as something built tomorow

I believe he's possibly destined for different pastures IF he moves. And a different marque.

Hopefully not, V8s need the likes of Davison and his rivals as a benchmark, even if it is a benchmark for most moves

Plenty of Aussies scattered through European open-wheel and GT racing. There's a few over in the US, and Asia as well. They might not all be at the pointy end of the field, but they're all certainly out there having a crack at it.

Matt Braid leaving, is not the end of the world. He righted the ship, with regards to the commercial side of things (go back a few years, and see how many events didn't have naming rights sponsors, in fact, the championship itself didn't either). Commercially, the sport is as good as ever from the mothership's point of view.

Exactly, I don't understand why people are whinging. Not on here, mainly on other forums and facebook. V8s for now seem to be going as strong as any other TV show

Candidates for the drive if Blanchard does decide to step down would appear to include Macauley Jones, the son of team owner Brad, and endurance signing Todd Hazelwood.
Tim's a talent but has never shone in Supercars. Sadly 22nd is dire.

Time to work on the commercial deals Tim, and get one of those young guns into the cars.

I'm salivating at the possibility for either, but one might rightly question their readiness to join the main game.

Hopefully with a good showing at QR and the Enduro's Todd Hazelwood might become the prime candidate for the seat should it become available.

Hazelwood has a good head on his shoulders, and doesn't fall under the SORF umbrella. If he gets a full-time gig next year, it'll be on his own merit.

In any case I think they will both end up in the main game eventually (Hazelwood and M. Jones that is)

So... Frosty is out of deal at season's end...
The Bottle O is out of deal at season's end...
Frosty has personal sponsors on him & the car..
Frosty costs money to drive, big money..

Mr Stanaway is coming back to Australia...
Mr Stanaway has a deal with prodrive...
Mr Stanaway has a sponsor/patron group supporting him...
Mr Stanaway would be cheap to get... rookie cheap...

Straight swap?
