Forda should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Doesn't look like much ever came of this, other than a 'strictly-limited' run of 155 copies of his memoirs, titled "55 Years in Car Heaven”

However, Crennan has recently revealed some historical details in a recent V8 Sleuth interview:

Some interesting notes from this:
  • Holden were going to pull the pin on HRT in mid-1991, in late 2003 (to move to across to Gibson Mostorsport); and also at the end of 1995 (after their Bathurst disaster)
  • He (somehow) seemed shocked when Holden actually did pull out from WR, and shifted the official status to 888
  • HRT had an annual income of $13.5M in 2002 ($8m sponsorship, $2M prize money, $3.5 merchandising profits)
  • He considers Ryan Story & Chris Wilson from DJRTP the "most capable operators" from all his years involved in motorsport.
