I've been watching PRA, and you know what - I think it can.

If you were to have a 888 car and a PRA car of the same vintage, I would suggest the 888 car has a wider setup window.

But you'd have to think the PRA deal would be pretty sharp...

You do have a point, but in the hands of LDM, the Falcon may be easier for them then the Holden, who knows. What would be cool is Ford Tickford Racing (PRA), and then Tickford rising stars or something (LDM), provided they can get Ford naming. Would help LDM and PRA with PRA up and comers to LDM while PRA has a full house

Tekno Commits To 2018

I don't know what it is, but when journalists talk to Mr Webb they never seem to get straight answers out of him. Not that there are untruths being told, more that there seem tonbe uncertainties in the air, far more than you might have expected. It seems to appear for all intents and purposes as indecisive...

He said he wasn't selling, was committed, and was talking to Roland.

What more do you want from him?

Exactly - not sure why reading between the lines is required more for Tekno than anyone else.

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
No sponsor, no driver. surely that leaves a level of doubt

There are 4 fundamental questions for any Supercar team that any half decent journo might go looking for around what is happening next year:
- who's driving?
- what car are you using?
- who's crewing?
- who's paying?

Surely a skilled news gatherer would be able to extract these simple bits of information with ease...

I didn't consider the sculptured & manicured responses from Mr Dumbrell to be particularly enlightening either...

So your problem is with the journalist rather than Webb.

You've been doing this a lot lately. Using thread titles to mislead and then questioning the validity of articles. Be unbiased GTR. It's your job.

They're becoming the masters of putting stickers on mid-meeting, the same thing happened at the pre-season test, appearing after midday on Courtney's car. Could Waters become a Boost car, and the satellite Stanaway/LDM operation being Monster?

Perhaps a PRA/WR merger?

Maybe even a RFR/WR merger?

Adderton family do the marketing / branding / promotion for Monster in Oz, also Boost of course. Probably just saw an opportunity for some extra branding.

Two young pilots, two 'exciting' brands, one race team with current race pace. Does Walkinshaw look that attractive now?
