Interesting, how many cracks at it do you think a guy can get?

Downoz · 4 Oct 2011, 23:55 (Ref:2965843)

I assume I heard it right.

Carsandmotorracing · 5 Oct 2011, 04:50 (Ref:2965916)

WOW, lets see how he doesn this time.

**GTRMagic** · 5 Oct 2011, 04:54 (Ref:2965918)

I would imagine Mr Canto might continue in an enduro role.. for 2012.. with the main seat occupied by Mr Reynolds... well you would kinda hope its Mr Reynolds.. I mean if his current team are freezing him out, and are about to dump him, as is reported, before the season ends... you might hope there is somewhere else to go next year...

interesting... given the noise around reynolds, i might suggest that Canto will be announced as the Bottle-O ENDURANCE driver....

Plus "future FPR driver" as you stated

JC Ohope · 5 Oct 2011, 05:20 (Ref:2965926)

Coulthard might be enduro-only next year?

I'd be fairly surprised if that ended up being the case, with Fabian being a pretty solid performer so far this year surely there'd be a fair few teams lining up to snatch him up if WP aren't keen?

Fabian to BJR? Kelly Racing? FPR instead of Reynolds? or replacing Holdsworth at GRM?

I thought that would be going to a Mr P. Dumbrell??

When a driver says they have a contract with someone for next season, yet dont quite know what they are doing next season... something doesnt sound quite right.

More likely WP have an option on Mr Coulthard that they are yet to exercise.

And may not, depending where Mr Percat fits into the scheme of the WP world.

For Mr Coulthard, perhaps #21 could be looking like the strong possibility it was rumoured to be at Phillip Island...

I would imagine FPR would put Mr Dumbrell in #5 or #6...

Carsandmotorracing · 5 Oct 2011, 07:47 (Ref:2965979)

Holdsworth to #55

Pro Racer · 5 Oct 2011, 08:50 (Ref:2966000)

while A.Davo is not much more then solid he is in the top 10 in the championship, where to for him? be a pretty big blow from the top ten to oblivion.

would Garry go for him and it be a Davo/Holdsworth swap. would KR be interested? PMM it will surely go to the biggest cheque and Alex dosn't bring much.

David "Coighty" Russell seems popular down Braeside way atm. if Stratco go could we see Jayco on the #16?

**GTRMagic** · 5 Oct 2011, 08:53 (Ref:2966003)

Roma Caravans might be worth more as a sponsor than you might think

Pro Racer · 5 Oct 2011, 10:08 (Ref:2966026)

so which chariot will be lugging around a Roma Caravan next year with Alex at the wheel?????

also will the Bundy money go with Fabian if Ingall brings Super(notso)Cheap?

Why do you presume Mr Ingall is headed to WP? There is an equally good seat at #14 with nobody's name on it yet

Razor · 5 Oct 2011, 10:57 (Ref:2966041)

With SuperCheap Auto signage???

That's the deal Mr Ingall has apparently been shopping around.

Presumably the #14's existing support sponsorship from the likes of SecureCorp, Fuchs, BOC and the like would be relocated to the sibling #21 car such that Mr Ingall can enjoy the breadth of space to put all those SuperCheap, Castrol, Goldcross and all the other support sponsor stickers onboard...

We shall see

so with Fabian linked to #21 and Reindler repotedly off to Garry's mob that would leave Bargs seatless once again.

Axeman444 · 6 Oct 2011, 02:07 (Ref:2966404)

JRR and T. Slade renew for 2012/13

http://www.speedcafe.com/2011/10/06/...two-year-deal/

fomoco · 6 Oct 2011, 10:29 (Ref:2966573)

Sports bet would have a field day with the odds on who was driving for who in 2012, come december

Fujitsu re-signs, Holdsworth starts to pack his bags

thunderbolt · 11 Oct 2011, 20:46 (Ref:2969517)

Bright the only guarantee at BJR in 2012

While Here suggests that the Fujitsu backing may only be a 1 car deal

i'd prefer to trust the info from Mr Rowley's mob saying "cars" than SportsPro Mag saying "Car 33"...
