Who is designing the new parts for the Erebus Commodore?
Erebus probably wants the replacement engineer to be based close by? |

I dare say they're designs from early last year.
There was talk that back in the MB days, upper management insisted on having a large parts cache on hand at all times, which left them with a backlog of parts to get through over the course of three seasons, before new revisions could be produced. Fine if you're running 3 cars with adequate budgets, but not when it's just 2, on a shoestring... |

From the outside looking in, and after the great result at Winton, it's one step forward, two steps back with this mob...

Can't see this being anything but negative for Erebus.
Could this be lack of budget related? Maybe he's off to DJR to run the third car... Last edited by TWRv12; 2 Jun 2016 at 10:45. |

In motorsport they should be working at least 6 days a week, if not 7. Sounds like that might be part of the problem.

I would have thought that the major part of the problem was that Erebus is now Melbourne based and Campbell Little is Queensland based. Presumably his choice not to move to Melbourne.

What is it with teams that are scratching for coin, leasing factories with the flash razzle-dazzle shop-fronts? |

And there was no suggestion that the current 'Russell Plan' of bringing car, driver & backing would be different next year either...

Some chatter about, that the Russells may re-acquire the car before the season is over.
My popcorn is on standby |

A perfect opportunity not once but twice to share what actually happened, and Mr Ryan chose not to do so. If the team management chooses not to share what is going on, all that is left is what others see, hear & feel... Opportunity lost? |

I think as a team representative he did the right thing. Really nobody here owes us the facts - Barry was respectful and firm and left a lot of things unsaid, which I think good management should do at times. |

Airing dirty laundry is never smart and I actually think that Mr Ryan explained the situation really clearly. Whatever truth there may or may not be in the various gossipy rumours that have circulated about the sponsor relationship and car 4, talking openly on details of an alleged argument from one perspective is only going to embarrass the team, the sponsor and the sport, most likely end in a needless slanging match and possible legal consequences. Not smart. Quote:

There is a story there.. it isn't dirty laundry if the simple facts are laid out. Erebus has proven (so far) to be nigh on terrible at communicating what is going on with them... Here was an opportunity to clear the air and/or share what they wanted to share with the industry players, and the chance was not taken up Getting poopy with Mr Phelps doesn't actually clear up anything. Telling him he is wrong doesn't actually add to the conversation without a counter response. Which didn't happen. To me, Mr Ryan just looked aggro.. There is a lot more to this story, it sits somewhere in the middle of the 3 parties connected, Erebus, AR Racing & Mr Phelps... The interview did nothing to forward that investigation.. |
