thats what i said cavvy, its in the next post where i clarified it it.
v8ryan, im sure there will be a holden race team for a long time, but the name is used under a sponsorship agreement, that sponsorship could jump to to say Kelly racing if thats what holden wanted to happen. (same with FPR for that matter) axeman, yes im feeling the same way about your posts too, thanks for the information, but i would suggest there is more to it than what you think, stay tuned |

sorry, i mis understood your post
in 2003 Holden signed a contract with skaife for ten years. its well documented, which takes them up to the end of next year. in 2009 tom re-signed the contract for multi (but unspecified years) but with no reason to suggest its longer than 2012. therefore the sponsorship ends next year, although this can be re-newed. but why would you give the big cash away to a non performing team |

If you, V8RYAN, had purchased it, Holden could have - and probably would have - immediately pulled their sponsorship and the name, which were the two greatest assets that the team had. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the future, the Holden Racing Team name and associated funding doesn't appear at Triple 8, or come under Triple 8's control in some way. If that eventuates, I would gladly accept your house. Sadly, if it doesn't, I don't have a house to offer you in return. The sticking point to all this happening will be the level of involvement that Roland is seen to have at PMM from the start of this season, as essentially it could be deemed that PMM and Triple 8 are grouped as a quasi four-car team, with Roland providing cars, staff, and guidance. The HRT name and money may not be as safe as you think given that handing it to a well-funded team like Triple 8 and providing only a relatively small funding increase over the current $2 million per season would give Holden some change to leverage the sponsorship more intensely. |

Well you would suppose that someone has to take responsibility for the on track results...
Gearing up for a sale? |

Re hashing old stuff now, those posts are from 5 months ago
and you are right, as i said, it was an assumption. if you have evidence to the contary then bring it to the party, if not i am happy to settle with the evidence i do have also Holden do not own half of HRT as in the race team. they own the brand, but not the team. they are not allowed to own a race team, I think you are thinking of HSV which is a different entity and do not own a team |

When is HRT deal with Toll come to a end, as Mr Toll is stepping down at the end of this year, and he is the motorsport person in Toll, so will they be pouring $$$ into HRT in 2012???

Mr TOLL, Paul Little has already stepped down, and is now over at Essendon Football Club, but I guess will still be a part of Toll. Apperently, Toll have lost a few Contracts, including shipping the Holden Fleet around Australia. Just nneed to check the business pages to confirm this. But if this was the case, a smart way to advertise the business anyway. bit like C7 showing Bathurts in the late 70's early 80's and Big Rev kev's car with a lovely number 9. HRT will still live on, the boys at Fishermans will not want to let this go down. In fact I bet they review it, and don't be suprised if another Deal is executed soon to a another organisation to run HRT. |

No need to guess Paul Littles movements when he leaves the role as MD of Toll
Mr Little will take a nine-month break when he steps down before returning to Toll's board as a non-executive director. http://www.smh.com.au/business/toll-...#ixzz1NjCujltx |

Any time the CEO leaves a company 'immediately' and for 'family' reasons has either been fired or is dying. And I'm pretty sure Mr Wilson is in good health. Welcome to the new era post TW.

Has anyone considered that this is standard practise for a majority of companies where some employee's are privy to sensitive imformation?? Have seen it before where a fellow employee told there manager that there leaving, only to be told about 2 hours later that they should start packing there desk, there 4 weeks will be paid out today and that they'll be escourt out of the building before the end of the day.
Conspiracy’s aside, if the bloke hasn't seen his wife & kids for 24 out of the last 30 days, I don't blame him for leaving. This motorsport caper isn't all that glamourous........ |

It does seem like pretty shaky times for HRT with two of the key people leaving, I guess the question is whether these people are leaving because they're unhappy with the performance of HRT or is HRT making them leave because they feel they're at fault?
Maybe some fresh people might help HRT get a bit more consistency? It does make me laugh though, Courtney left the team he won a championship with to get away from ownership/management issues.... to join HRT which is now having.... ownership and management issues I wonder if he sees the irony? |
