Maybe the series is fortunate to still have the support of such fans, who might actually prefer something more relevant to their liking.

agreeing with you

Not sure why people would have such a DH persona as to deny this

They lack understanding of the different fans, they are ignorant of those who see things different.

Next thing you know ignorant morons will be saying we cant barrack for a certain football team, because they haven't won a grand final for "X" years. it totally discounts passion

A link to his father, to help shift a few more Tickford-enhanced ‘77 Bathurst tribute Mustangs?

Considering the car troubles they've had in the past surely this is not the best idea. New model start afresh leave the issues behind. Hope for the best....

What can you say, it doesn't make sense, does it?

Presumably the team does not have the budget to supply a fresh chassis to Mr Courtney, so he will required to demonstrate his wares in the crashed and repaired unit.

If results remain poor, the fans can only assume it is the driver which isn't as tight as ought be!?

If the team retains an in-house fabrication crew, and therefore labour is already paid for in the team budget, isnt the major cost of knocking up a new chassis the pipes & bars from Pace? Pinch all the other bolt on/weld on gear from the former VF chassis and you have a new chassis for what, sub $50k?
