I heard the same rumor re the scott car, I thought the Giz would be with a front runner but I have heard he has tested the corkery car.

Giz with Corkery, now theres a mismatch made in heaven.
i heard on another forum that all of the V8SC guys that drive fords are potentially pulling out because the ST is essentially a GM product....which is bollacks anyway as they all run a ford 9" diff! But i have not heard that on here so was wondering if it was just some stirring? Initially there was talk of Frosty, Will Davo, Holdsworth, Giz, Coulthard, Alex Davo but i'm not sure where its at right now. What i'd like to see is: Jonny Mac/Will Davison Steve Richards/ Mark Winterbottom Murph/Coulthard (we known that one will stick) Reid/Shane van Gisbergen (would love to see that combo) Pederson/Patrizi (and yes i know is a holden driver in a ford, but this is my wishlist!) Baird/Holdsworth Booth/Johnathon Webb (someone from tekno anyway) Andy Knight/Alex Davo Kayne Scott/???? McGlaughlin/ Daniel Jilesen (although i'm pretty sure that wont happen) And after that i get kinda stuck!! But in all seriousness, are we likely to see the onslaught of SuperCar drivers for the enduros as was hinted at the beginning? I'm asking because i just don't know Last edited by NZSTfan; 29 May 2012 at 05:40. Reason: spelling |

I think his co driver is very obvious, but I could be wrong. |

That makes sense, i.e. Scott with Evans. Will be interested to hear who Johnny's partner is. With this in mind it may be true then that the big-card aussie drivers are not going to play a major role in the enduros (that is the FPR guys).....which is a blow to the series IMO

i guess if i was paying my boys $500k a year i would not allow them to swan off and race for free or very little in NZ....would any employer ??.. still it opens the door for a few other talented steerers to get a chance i guess.. |

My enduro pairing is as follows.
Promax / Mr Revhead. Two hard chargers who never know when to give up. Cappelli / Brown Dog. Always good for a low blow these two. Blueblood / Garth Tander. Driving the wheels off the VE and loving it. Smokin'Joe / Ugy. As normal always a yard off the pace. Southern Man / Inky Tullock. Wonder if these two will fit into the same seat. Icarus / Roger H. These two should win by a country mile, because their posts are the only posts worth reading most of the time. I will unfortunately not be running, as my crew tell me that it is far to hard to get my head into the car. I believe Mr Woolley will be driving the pace car for this round, no doubt we will be talking again soon. |

That said, while I think it is a bit of a blow marketing wise, but I think there's probably enough handy drivers around the traps that'll be more than able to foot it with the regular drivers (I'd politely suggest that there's probably more than a handful outside of the series who'd easily as quick, if not quicker than a lot of the regular boys). |

I heard Edgell was still looking for a drive as well promax, I would have to say he would be high on the list if people want a driver with speed.
Who is looking to drive with Fogg? |

It would be interesting to see just how fast Edgell would be, as he will not be driving a car with the huge horse power advantage he had in the NZV8 series.

To be honest what I have said is only an excuse, I am guilty, when did this come about? I hope Jono does well and shows everyone just how good he can be. |

Crickey mate we can both rest our case on that eh?
Lets enjoy what the weekend brings us, it sure will be a good reason to sit indoors watching TV rather than down in the workshop undertaking post Otago Rally maintenence or working around the section. |
