Actually I don't see the reason to fire Pye from Walkinshaw Racing. He's doing pretty well this year comparing to Courtney.

This exactly, however I do believe JC is "mates" with Ryan.
I think Pye isnt doing a bad job at all and glad he has either 2 year at WP or 2 years in his back pocket

Interesting observations , how close to true we will have to wait and see, makes sense though, but COMMON sense does not always happen.

Given the change of ownership structure and how that happened, you'll likely find that Gow is friendlier with Ryan than James is.

Interesting to read in AA today... that BJR is looking to move away from Noonan engines to run KRE instead...

That’s a big fleet to repower.. unless its ‘just’ the VASC program running them.

It is logical to have others share the development costs with engines, like BJR did with SBRE (except BJR couldn’t get their cars to ‘work’ with SBRE power..), especially so since migration to V6TT out of KRE isn’t far away...

What have Noonan done wrong? Are they uncompetitive on price or (worse) performance, hence explaining BJR's lack of pace in 2017?


"It is logical to have others share the development costs with engines, like BJR did with SBRE (except BJR couldn’t get their cars to ‘work’ with SBRE power..), especially so since migration to V6TT out of KRE isn’t far away..."

Speaking of the going on in the old SBRE engine shop, are main game spec Mostech engines (as in #12 and #17 cars) available to customers, or are they are DJRTP exclusive now, with customers only able to get lower performing Super2 spec motors?

I thought 888 had exclusive rights to all ZB Commodore IP? If BJR want to move to the V6TT, then they have no choice to move to KRE, via 888.

That is my understanding too, except AA seem to be talking about V8 Auroras for 2018 not the V6tt

Is Mr Adderton the logical purchaser of the LDM REC to bring to a Boost Mobile-powered Tickford Falcon for Mr Stanaway?
