Tasman to Close!! - Murf to PCR Ford!!

[GTRMagic]

According to Mr Fogarty in today's AA, Tasman Motorsport in its current form, is set to close at the end of this season.

The story suggests that the lead driver and part owner, Mr Murphy, shall take one of the two current Tasman RECs, and link up with Mr Cruickshank's PCR equipe for next season, in an ex-888 Falcon

To Ford...

The second licence is apparently on the market, with TDR the likely purchaser for that slot.

The linkage makes sense, considering a backer of PCR is also an owner in Tasman, such that the connection can be seen as logical and solid...

Quite what that does to the Tasman workshops, the equipment, the crew and all the infrastructure investment of the last few years will be interesting to see... it looks like a major major waste of money now

Or indeed Greg Murphy Racing, who owns the VE that was run at the weekend for Mr Walter & Mr Douglas....

What the implication for Britek might be is also interesting... if Tasman takes their REC to PCR, the need for the lease of the Britek REC shall disappear... leaving Mr Bright with 2 REC's and without the funding to run them both!

Presuming any of this is actually happening....
