Too true. The only one(s) I think they got right were the #9 Caltex liverys from 2000-2007.

I think the Pirtek livery on Ambrose' car was the best ever.

Reindler now confirmed at Kelly Racing; and the suggestion that the "drawn out contract dispute" with Reynolds has been resolved.

So.. why are we getting renders of cars at announcements with 3 days til the Sandown test?



And.. is Stratco going elsewhere.. or have they chosen to just continue with the McNally Ute involvement?

It doesnt look as good in the studio as it does on track... there are some challenging logo sizes/shapes/designs that havent really been captured to their optimum.. surprising that this car doesnt have more route trade FMCG brands on it... yet...

Please no! This will be another fly by for Dodo and another 1-year only sponsor for TDR. Annoying!

Dynamik - half a year
Tasman - 1 year
Kelly - 1 year

This is the same thing about Wilson Security that gives me the runs!
Story on Speedcafe Here suggests that Mr Wood has been re-signed as Mr D'Alberto's enduro partner...

... and the footnote of the story suggests that the car may appear in virgin white at Sandown.. possibly with only longtime support GB Galvanising aboard.. as the team continues the hunt for a title sponsor.

There is mention of the definitive TDR livery being launched before Clipsal...

We shall see...

The selection of Mr Wood seems to have put paid to Mr Mostert showing up there...

You would have to suggest looking at this, that the field is weaker in depth than last season? I guess the upside is it will strengthen some of the enduro combos. With PD and Luffy at Team Vodafone, it will interesting to see where A.Davo & Bargs end up... With DJR & BJR the most logical destinations...

The T8 cars never seemed to set the world on fire in PMM guise... maybe thats why.

Still can't see why a team didnt pick him up, or at the least T8 using him in the enduros.

Fair enough. Surprised to see Warren Luff with 888 for the enduros over Thompson, but I'm sure they have their reasons....

So everybody keeps saying... and while it was apparently so in 2010, 2011 saw the hardware land & be installed exactly as arrived from the house of 888... so there was more to the issue than just dampers...

Well you still have to set them up, doubt 888 gave them their little black book of settings

Not true, they continued to run their own developments with the dampers. Would seem to have been bloody minded arrogance, fancy that!

Just a bit of a footnote, last year the Sachs Formula Matrix dampers as per Triple 8 were used by-
Triple 8 (obviously)
FPR x2
Tony D'Alberto x1
SBR x3
Kelly Racing x2 (in combination with Ohlins?)
BJR x3
DJR x2
Triple F x1
Tekno x1
PMM x2
RNR x1

...so out of the 28 races last year, the only three wins that got away were those from cars 1 & 2. Not bad!

Sure his replacement does have more experience, but if you look at Dumbrell's career he spent 7 years doing not much in Commodores and then stepped up when he went to RNR. Dumbrell put this down to the Falcon better suiting his driving style, wonder if 888 took this into account?

However with SupaLoc Racing's SupaShock product likely to be homologated for CotF, it will likely not be a Sachs & Ohlins lock forever...
