alex finished 17th in dunlop series in 2016. which meant no superlicence points. Not convinced he is ready for the main game |

He showed a lot of race pace especially in his home round at Perth but his finishing position was predominantly down to bad luck he seemed to always have a mechanical failure I see him as a future talent prospect but I don't think he's ready yet LDM should give him another year in DVS and chuck him with Andre for the enduros

It'll end up being #3 Andre Heimgartner & #30 Jack Le Brocq/Shae Davies it leaves LDM with a good inflow of sponsorship cash that way with all 3 are fully funded as apparently John fuller (owner of Plus fitness) told Andre he'll support if Aaren's deal doesn't matriculate it seems novocastrian Motorsport is now a wildcard entrant for 4 rounds with the enduros and Newcastle so expect a different sponsor on car #3 during those rounds like there long time supporter Repair Management Australia if Andre is there

Seems as though we may see Matt Chahda at LDM with backing from Oaklands Built look at Bruce Oakland's facebook

One LDM car is said to be sorted, with two of their '16 enduro pilots teaming up to fill the season.
The second... has had everyone with a CAMS licence linked to it.. I suppose OzLotto is $20m on Tuesday.. some more names might get added to that list.. |

I'm sad Pither doesn't get another go - good FMCG sponsor in the sport and I really thought he was a talent above the other options - but clearly LDM are in a position where they need the biggest cheque possible.
I guess if daddy is paying for the damage? |

None of the contenders for LDM have sponsors affiliated with family

Someone by the initials of CW comes to mind. He was in PRA's main focus and Chris was still beating him. I think they put this person with Frosty as they know he wouldn't be any good as a customer car

Pretty much confirmed now that Matt Chahda and Alex Rullo will line up now at LDM from sources close to LDM Andre will have to pull some some serious magic to get a drive now

Meantime, AA this week has a number of endurance season seats already secured.
Mr D'Alberto to stay at DJR, switching to #12 with Mr Coulthard Mr Youlden to switch to Erebus #9 alongside Mr Reynolds Mr Luff to stay at WP, switching to #22 alongside Mr Courtney.. More to come for sure! And great to have AA back as well |

What would u rather 2 drivers with funding competing maybe being bit off the pace or a whole team going under financially and all there team being unemployed and Lucas filing for bankruptcy and 24 cars on the grid its survival of the fittest there is no problems with pay drivers but I feel Matt may be a bit underexperienced

I know what you're saying mceci1 but I'm saying if these deals materialise wait until Clipsal until you start criticising them give them time I do think having Andre H and Chris P would have been there best option results wise but obviously it wasn't financially viable for LDM but I think if Matt gets the gig he won't be as agressive it was only sandown where he was in a incident he's not as bad as what people think
