According to AA, they say Percat is favourite for Tekno.

No word on SVG...that rumour does sound far fetched...(?)

While a cryptic post on twitter last night said Klein may hae missed his chance at Erebus.

AA is very wishy washy this week (always?) on who is going where, and where the teams are at with car build...

I suspect that Mr Percat has a seat locked down... quite why it isnt announced is interesting...

I dont doubt the commitment of the team to get the job done... nor do I doubt that the story is a piece of skilful media management to try and build a bridge between SBR & that publication after the publication's rather ordinary reporting on both the AMG/Erebus deal and the departure of Mr van Gisbergen

Erebus will appear at Eastern Creek with 3 shining examples of AMG's finest, they will run well, competitively, the drivers will be getting comfortable in their new environments, and all will look like it "just" made it..

Lowering expectations and exceeding them is always a good thing right?

Especially when they shook down job #1 today at QR Here

Doesn't THAT show just how unbelievably far off the pace AA has become? Wow - on the day the cover above hits the stands saying no cars and no testing, there's an Erebus E63 testing at QR.

Perhaps one or both of the brothers are sitting having a quiet chuckle to themselves about that...

Yeah - reckon. Mind you, they'd be pretty used to journalists who supposedly know their stuff repeatedly getting it utterly wrong - even if the journos have the facts they often draw the wrong conclusions.

so four cars from erebus to start the season. thats a good effort, considering earlier today they had none.

Chaz at SBR, fits with the cryptic Betty message from earlier in the week

He'd do ok there. With some guidance from Ross Stone, he could be a bit of a darkhorse.

Mr Edwards didn't seem too confident of finding a drive for him this year.

I tend to agree.

Not many spots left in a Ford anymore (just 6 total). Stilll if he had a budget there is a seat at DJR

It has been released, have a look at the AMG website press release link I posted.... Looks so much better than old style AA are using on their cover.

Your first mistake was taking anything from AA as truth.

I think Nick Percat is your likely entry for #91 with Coates Hire and Walkinshaw money.

I think Premat will be retained by GRM to see how he goes on the new cars (for at least half the year).

With DJR leasing the FFF REC they now have control over who they put in the car. Their preference is Steve Owen. I'm pretty sure Reindler was only under consideration by Fiore if had to plug in another driver with a budget to keep operating it himself. Those days have passed. It'll be Steve Owen.
