Clearly the team is getting itself sorted under the new ownership structure and rather than sticking with everything said at the launch, are discarding bits that are unlikely to deliver or which complicate life. At the same time they're improving their situation and knocking off a job list. A bit of continuity (if it can be delivered) will help this team no end. |

Probably because they knew once they'd agreed the deals, information would leak, so the launch was done.
Then they got into the detail of how they wanted to run the team and the capabilities in place. If they'd done it the other way round, they'd only be launching about now, probably after leaks and various people rolling their eyes and saying "well we all KNEW that already". It also sounds to me like Mr Munday is taking more direct control of what the team does - maybe more that was originally envisioned? |

There have been several AA articles recently about Zagame racing, which included Mr Crawford and Mr McConville, and Mr Munday as financier/sponsor of some of that activity.
Then we see it all move, virtually unchanged, from Zagame to 23RED. Just seems odd is all.. |

So tee-ing off at the media is the new flavour of the month?

There'd be very few who actually know although it's POSSIBLE that Mr McConville may be one of them. |

If you go waaaay back to the early '90s, he was mentored and employed by a few money men of the ATCC at the time.
Not exactly green to running businesses, motor racing or otherwise. |

I had no idea he'd sold up.
So that's two pieces of the puzzle... |

He is def out of JAX
Quit F4 Quit driving for LDM Zagame? Quit running 23Red before he tarted basically Did he not start and stop driving Carerra Cup one year? He seems to like the press releases but not the work involved! |

Seems excessive for a one car team.
Not that it matters, as it'll be folded in half, and jammed in next to pit entry like every other year in Adelaide. |

If there isn't a rule, it'd be a good bit of promo then if a team trailered the cars in on an open trailer behind a Ute packed with some mock spares to the Sandown 500 heritage round. |

There's no rule around needing an A-trailer.
