2017 VASC Silly Season

[GTRMagic]

She is quite naked...

[PS2244]

Anyone else find it deeply concerning that we're 3 weeks out from Clipsal and there's still no official clarity on whom the 2nd LDM driver is and also it is confirmed that the Supercars article that GTRMagic posted that Garry Jacobson will be the #56 codriver

at least 5 spots are missing sponsors, would not suprise me if these were comoing from within the greater PRA sponsorship pool

Not a surprise... might be a revolving door of pilots in that seat across the year... Step right up, $100-k a round.. and its yours.. if you satisfy the Superlicence criteria of course

[mayhem]

What year was it when we didnt know until Friday morning who was going to be in the Dynamik car??

2005.. Will Davison had a contract, Tony Longhurst bought the franchise, Max Wilson got the seat.. Will Davison went to court, and won his driving fee..

Lol criteria optional ahaha but it looks like it'll be Andre Heimgartner in the second seat according to this he's really LDM's only option now

Especially since Wilson are the ones who pushed hard for Tander.

Depends. Has the asking price for a seat now dropped at LDM since the whole Chahda debacle?

That is a good question about LDM I think it probably did lower a little after that considering how close to the season it is

More likely, it went... up...

[Terry S]

Why not put Tony Ricciardello in the LDM seat.

After all having won the Sports Sedan title TEN times he should satisfy CAMS ridiculous new requirements?

The culture shock from 'always' being on the front row in Sports Sedans to 'always' being on the back row in Supercar might be too much to bear...

plus, the field would be lot bigger than he is used to

but he does have enough points, 5 points for winning championship, each year

Well, Cam waters hasn't impressed too much so the money may be needed for the Monster repairs

It's his first season lol what did you expect? he'll move up the grid a lot more this season I'm tipping

What you are forgetting is that GRM did not have to sign Garth Tander. If they wanted Golding to drive they would have signed him. Who is to say that GRM wouldn't have signed Pye if Walkinshaw did not snap him up and kept Tander?

GRM would have been taking a very hefty risk by running Golding full-time in 2017

I'd love to know your credentials that gives you the right to call the people running Volvo and Walkinshaw Racing spastics? Just not agreeing with their business decisions isn't a reason...

Here is the issue, too many statements are being questioned by many people. If people actually read the articles that say what I have been relaying then it would make more sense.

From the looks of the article it seems like Shae Davies may become entering as a wildcard as well. I would assume that he would be in a 3rd Erebus entry if this was to materialise in the VF chassis he was in last year, according to Supercars.com's article the Klimenkos have been instrumental in this deal with MW happening.

Please then link us the articles so we can understand more.

I'd love to see the article that will spell out why the decision makers at Volvo and Walkinshaw Racing are spastics....

That's not what I am referring to, by reading the article you can see why Golding was left out. Very few people are doing it but by questioning or implying people are lying cause friction and heat of the moment things are said. In this though, when has Volvo made a good car and why has Walkinshaw gone so far backwards since 2011, they were legends once
