It'll be transferred to whoever replaces him.

That could be a lucky dip all in itself.

David Thexton LOL.
Has Alex Rullo changed his name?
I like the idea of a #17 champion again, so Scotty Mac gets my tip.

From what I have heard he could have been a good driver. Just never had anyone back him with winning equipment

GTR Magic has always had a little bit of a man crush on him and like to refer to him. so its a bit of a long term in joke in the forum

There's also this earlier livery of his (from 2003):


David would probably have looked a lot better had he showed up back in 1999 or so when there were still a lot of non-professional drivers/part time teams kicking around. As it happened there weren't many left by the time he got there.

Alex Rullo will win the championship for 2017, provided he can get out school early for Friday practice and he gets all his homework done!

Interesting that Scotty Mac is the clear favourite in a new (untested) team, with over twice the votes of the current champion in his existing (winning) team.

I get the feeling SVG will be extremely hard to beat, I reckon he might go on a Whincup type of run over the next few years.

Either that, or a Whincup resurgence.

In all seriousness... I believe it will probably be a Red Bull 2x horse race again... maybe with Jamie claiming back the crown.

I feel it will be a Kiwi again this year, either SVG, Scotty or Fabs. All 3 are in a strong position team and gear wise.
