Re the above, I am reminded of a quote that appeared on here years ago; What do you call a racing driver without a budget? A spectator.

The costs of online sim racing are somewhat less, and the carbon footprint (almost none) is a lot better for the environmentally conscious driver.

I'm not sure that makes you a racing driver though?

If she stepped away from the silicon isle at bunings she would have had a budget for the season.

It would seem that appropriate sacrifices to the lavish lifestyle are not being made, to ensure longevity in the sport.

I'm sure she's just fine, ferrying cashed-up gentlemen around the track at 6/10ths.

The thing to note though is that the Dragon/Image car still isn't a genuinely consistent front of field proposition even in Mr Perkins' hands.

Hopefully Ms Gracie is sourcing the sponsorship herself, not paying finders' fees to other people which could be spent selecting a better quality car/team...

Where would she land, if the funds were actually in place?

All comes down to how badly you want to be involved in the game, really.

MSR are currently looking for Mechanics for immediate start. They’re stating that there circumstances have changed!

Is this an indication that they could make the move up??

Of course if Nissan were in anyway serious about winning in Supercars they need to have an additional team in the main game.
chavez is online now

I find it a bit amusing that you've got 3 quick Nissans in Super2, mixed in with some very well-sorted Triple Eight and PRA chassis, yet in the maingame they're nowhere.

What have MWM found, that the Kellys haven't?

Have to remember that the Kelly cars are still running quicker then the MWM cars but competing against higher quality drivers in better equipment.

The Nissan's might be quick in the Dunlop Series, but the competition really isn't there.

It will be interesting to see how many cars are entered for Newcastle.

There was a suggestion at Bathurst that perhaps prodrive may have been contemplating leaving their Dunlop series cars at home that weekend...

More likely one or more of the workshop staff are no longer available.

Poor form if they did, they're not exactly going round-by-round. Although going on past form, there's a fair chance that one particular chassis could meet it's demise in certain hands...

However, several other hopefulls are looking to join, or re-join the circus for the Newcastle event, according to various mutterings.

I seem to recall LeBroq saying something about the differences between the MWR cars and the Kelly one.
Just can't remember where or what.

Sure there's differences, but they seem to be at the pointy end of the grid, more often than not.

Because the Super2 grid lacks depth of competition compared to Super1.
