Adrian Burgess Leaves Walkinshaw Performance

AA reporting that Adrian Burgess is out the door at Walkinshaw...

https://autoaction.com.au/2017/05/12...gess-part-ways

Can they somehow blame him for the munted car?

Supercars have confirmed it:

Despite the hype, did Mr Burgess really 'triple 8' the WP operation?
His big role this year was to design & move MHSVR to their new digs.

Can't say its a shock...

Needed to happen, they need new direction to develop the car into something competitive again. Burgess had the chance and wasn't able to deliver sadly.

Now the hope is the replacement will bring fresh ideas which are more in tune with what is required for success in the sport. That won't be easy...

Double strange...
Its from Wikipedia though so the veracity of that claim wants a review
but
When you look at Wikipedia there is no mention of a parent.

Lets blame Mr Google for a snafu.

Sort of

Did John Briggs get much more than a car and a driver when he bought CAT Racing?

Might this be the beginning of an exodus from WR?

Did he get a REC (or its equivalent) PAE motorsport(as it was named)? Didnt even last a year.

old news report

from memory the distance was too great so it was prepared on east coast, So might not work for you Sandgroper

Still the key point is, reckon WR will be for sale soon

Not sure to be honest, quite possibly, although at that time you could run a couple of cars under the one franchise from memory, so the CAT car might have just run on the same franchise as the Supercheap Falcon's it joined?

In 1999 there were several classes of franchises, as RECs were then known. Level 1 for established teams that entitled them to enter multiple cars (it fluctuated from 2-4 at various times), Level 2 for one-car teams and Level 3 for privateers. IIRC, PAE (Caterpillar) and Briggs Motorsport (Supercheap) both had a Level 2s. When Briggs Motorsport expanded to a 3 car operation in 2002, it purchased Fred Gibson's Level 1 franchise.

Thanks anthony

What franchise did 00 Motorsport use in 2002 for their entries, after running as Gibson Motorsport in 2001 to run 1 car for Lowndes?

I'd have suggested Tekno, but that may not sit well with their Triple Eight relationship.
