Dynamic Oscar.
Oscar Fiorinotto(Lowndes race engineer @ 00)has become a shareholder and the Technical Manager @ Team Dynamic. His contract was up for renewal when he was approached to join the Team. He probably new that Craig was off to Prodrive and he always wanted to have equity in a V8 Supercar team. Sorry to lose him to the dark side.

At least we might not have toput up with hearing his name all through the telecast. The 10 comentary team will have to learn a new name.

Good on him, and probably having a share in the team, he'll probably be more likely to hang around for a decent amount of time.

Um, I wouldnt get so excited at Oscar's departure. There have been a lot of very strong rumours regarding the 00 team's lack of technical ability (from the top down it appears), one of the major issues in Cwaig seeking alternate opportunities.

I think you are spot on GTR as 00 have really been in the dark most of the time and CL has made the situation look better than it really was.Oscar's history etc is quite limited and has no big notches in his belt as far as I am aware of.I think that the lure of ownership and the desperation of "Team Nepetism" has combined to creat a relationship that will end in tears.By being attached to Lownes's car and the assosiated Oastlerism's that go with it have catipulted a guy way beyond his expectaions and have allowed him to profit from it.If you were really concerned about winning and exploring the maximum possibilitys that may be presented to you would you honestly pick A: a B grade driver in a team created by a parent to employ his son who is a driver who has been dumped for so so performance B: a multiple champion driving for a team owned by a shewd company with links to a WRC program,an F1 out fit and the factory for which car you will be running,combined with another multiple champion and the last driver to win in a Ford

"A: a B grade driver in a team created by a parent to employ his son who is a driver who has been dumped for so so performance"
- Are you sure he was 'dumped'?? I think Simon had one more round win than Lowndes last year

No he was at Larrys doing Ingalls car and all of Skaifes crew were the original team on the Lownes car up untill they swapped "teams " and lownes got the other crew, Skaife won the championship and Lownes left.
In fact the same core group have won every championship HRT have ever won |

Someone who should know has said Oscar has visited the top of teh range data interpretation course at MoTeC on no less than 3 occasions in the last 2 seasons, and he still isnt convinced that he understands it!
