I doubt Skaife is "leading" the consortium, more likely just the front man.

Since there's bugger all racing going on this week I suppose it makes a nice change from "skaife to make v8 comeback" or "Jason bright to race Indy 500" or "Vettel breaks ankle in testing crash, Webber to substitute" or "Brock back from the dead to win #10.
How about "Kelly racing signs Danita Patrick to enduro campaign with Simona De Silvestro, Dave Reynolds refuses to comment"? |

Is Mr Skaife the one kicking? Perhaps.. perhaps not... Would make a great public face for a consortium... their challenge will be unlocking value from their transaction... |

Well his Pukekohe 'upgrade' (for which he was well paid as an advisor) isn't exactly seen as having been a positive legacy by the local fraternity.

And the track extension to Winton done in the early '00s was one of his projects as well.

Given his business "success" with HRT and the supposedly much cheaper "COTF" Skaife would be the last person in the paddock to get business advice from.However if it gets him out of that commentary booth I am all for it.His blokey hyperbole makes him easily the weak link in the tv commentary team.I long for the good old days of 2015 when they chained him to the desk so we weren't exposed to the 10 cliche vocabulary he fills his race commentary with.
