Why wouldn't GB Galvanising and Advam stick around for the new, faster, driver? Are personal relationships really so important?

Doesn't Woody have some involvement with those two sponsors-family owned or something similar?

Judging by the interim BJR deal, I'm guessing they want full naming rights on a car.

Must confess I was surprised he didn't get his cards marked after whistling round Sulman Park a couple of years back and nailing his own team-mate in the boot during a full-course yellow, then claiming radio problems.

Any news of Mr Richards returning?

Yes, as a secondary sponsor probably in much the same way as on the Red Bull cars this year.

LeBrocq Has Options For 2018...

The article names Tekno & Erebus, while the Nissan opportunity seems to have been contingent on Mr T.Kelly retiring into team management... which the article suggests doesn’t seem to be likely...

How has he been linked though, Vicious Rumours, Powder Room Scuttlebutt, or actual offers?

They relinquished their multi-year deal with Lucas Oil last year, in order for Triple Eight to basically furnish both garages to look like a Caltex servo. Sacrificing their apparel and equipment meant they were able to receive some cash and Caltex lubricants FoC or at a substantially lower rate.

New Supercars team to be revealed in Newcastle

so it would seem that PRA will purchase a REC from LDM and the new LDM will run a falcon.
This mean Bright REC is out on his own somewhere.

and opens the door to Stanaway being in a PRA car
