FPR to become Four cars (or perhaps more accurately "FPR Free Ad For More Customers" )...
... balanced against the views of one of the subjects... Speculative?? |

The part I find odd is why FPR isnt putting it out there, privately, that they are looking to take on a customer, and have the resources in place to run one
There isnt likely a chance for Mr D'Alberto to go to FPR (they clearly like to be independent...) while there are a number of teams they can talk to about taking on an FPR slot. It would likely be more helpful if FPR had better on-track success, but its a strong package commercially to be plugged into a factory Ford squad... illusion is more important than reality sometimes |

Interesting story wandering around town... has a certain team who moved out on their own this year expanding to a 2 car operation in 2012. Now that in itself isnt the story, the media has been beating this story with a stick for some time... with a current REC owner looking to move his plaything over there to run.
But that's not as fun as the next bit... where the current sponsor of the REC on the move, has also been linked with a move to the different pastures. It seems the lure of a possibly lower priced deal, with less noise, may be too good an offer to refuse.. Not that they all needed any pressure or anything... Presuming any of this actually happened |

So...... are you suggesting that Jim Beam & the #18 REC are both going to Tekno ? (allegedly)

If AA is correct, then more moves than a blue light disco after somebody spiked the soft drinks!
Perhaps PMM, will retain Ingall for the enduros and Holdsworth will take the seat? |

Coulthard to PMM with Bundy money? I cant recall if the last time Fabian drove for PMM ended happily...any takers? Would see Bundy on a car with Qld connections, would suit their origins I suppose.
Leethal to WP with a bag of Supercheap money....but what about the Enforcer ads, quite a good marketing tool. Russell out to pasture, or perhaps a swansong with Mr Webb? I also would see Jim Beam money not moving, their marketing with DJR has been fruitful, but only on one car may be the "cheaper" alternative the powder room speaks of? |

Does Coulthard take the car with him? This could get interesting, especially if he went to GRM!

SuperCheap to leave PMM on rpm is sounds like SuperCheap and Ingall may be in the same team next year but not at PMM |

But who goes? Bargs and Brighty won't go and technically, BJR don't own the #21 REC.

Given the reason Bargs was drafted in, the unfortunate doubt of that issue being resolved for the better, and Barg's performance this year, i don't see him going anywhere, nor Bright, and therefore the #21. All depends on Karl's performance review by Notso whether there will be any change at Albury IMO

Other than KR & BJR, are there any other non-Holden supported teams that are running Commodores? |

The opportunity for Holden may be to look after HRT, the 3rd WP car (with SuperCheap?) and 888... and the rest continue to make their own arrangements.[/QUOTE] Quote:
The question of where to land the cash may be part of the post-2013 CoTF landscape.. perhaps the ex-PMM funding shall lie with the engineering company(ies?) who shall be contracted to knock out parts and even whole cars (looks towards WP & 888...) We shall see... |
