If he were to join a team, they would ideally be Triple Eight-aligned.
LDM are not. Have not been, for a long time. |

29 Macauley Jones Ipswich and Winton are the most logical rounds for these teams to run due to the costs associated with travelling to Darwin and Perth I wasn't saying it was fact they were running there I was adding in my 2 cents on the topic I reckon thatll be the two rounds they'll choose to compete at |

I'm curious as to how it's all of a sudden easier to do a wildcard entry, compared to before.
What's changed? |

No at this stage Golding will not be in the Dunlop series. Due to the issue with Volvo dumping GRM and then Scotty leaving they had planned to put James up, then Walkinslow decided that Courtney was a better choice then Garth and Garth had no talent despite the fact he improved when they dumped the faulty chassis. Not sure what drugs they smoke in that camp but we wont go into that otherwise I will never get to the end of the story. Garth was signed onto GRM and because they looked at James they had already signed two drivers onto their Dunlop team and James was essentially game over for him. Thanks Volvo

You're drawing a rather long bow with that theory It's Volvo and Walkinshaw's fault that Golding doesn't have a drive? |

Well yes, that was coming from the article which has been stated that when Scotty McLaughlin left they were going to put James in, then Ryan Walkinshaw being the very poor minded team owner he is decided that Tander wasn't worth keeping, it was him not the faulty chassis he had, which was proven with a new car that he can do good things in a good car. Keep Courtney, who is one of the most overrated drivers, 1 title, no Bathurst and No Sandown wins says enough. GRM then signed him as I said and so did they. They then said at this stage they had already signed 2 drivers as they though James was going to be in the main game this year. As a result, yes Volvo does deserve some slack, so does Walkinshaw, 2 groups run by 2 spastics.

To rewind back to say, Sandown, it was in the post-race press conference that Mr Tander stated that his 2017 aspirations were taken care of.
Only days later, Mr Pye was announced to replace him. In the days after that, WR stated, based on Mr Tander's comments to the media, they were of the belief that Mr Tander had sealed a deal elsewhere without speaking to them first. Of course what we know now, is that Mr Tander's poor turn of phrase was his undoing with WR, meaning he'd actually have to chase a drive elsewhere. The Volvo thing is a completely seperate issue. Mr Tander took the drive, not entirely sure what the badge would be on his 2017 race car. |

The actual running of the cars hasn't gotten any cheaper Quote:
GRM would have been taking a very hefty risk by running Golding full-time in 2017 I'd love to know your credentials that gives you the right to call the people running Volvo and Walkinshaw Racing spastics? Just not agreeing with their business decisions isn't a reason... |

Fairly simple, Holden aren't a sponsor so they don't get any exposure.
