peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Richie Stanaway To VASC in 2018?
Same people arguing why Simona is such a good choice, arguing that stanaway is a good choice.

He might be a good choice, but so are half a dozen other guys out there and there is currently no room for them.

Bring the cash if you want a ride

Was probably the doppelganger. Agree with most, everyone in the series complains about testing ability (or lack of), and there is no substitute for seat time. He will learn much more in the maingame. Waters was chucked in and it was well known he was there to develop, not set the world on fire in Round 1. Now he is coming on in leaps and bounds, far better than any Kelly Bros Reality show would allow. Give Stanaway time, say 3 year contract, let him learn in year 1 perhaps in alluded to satellite team, grow in year 2 back in the mothership, challenge for the title in year 3, as long as they give him a decent car of course

Larko just suggested he'd sign Stanaway to five years right now if he ran a supercar team. Good judge Larko.

Very interesting to me how SvG like his driving style is, very taily and loose.

Be interesting to see how he keeps the tyres if its dry tomorrow.

Stanaway was by far the fastest of all the Kiwis that have been in GP2 in recent years.
Just chuck him in a decent car a let him go,he don't need no learning.

Richie Stanaway To VASC in 2018?
What about a season in Super5000? A bit of open wheeler experience doesn't go astray. Blend that in with some SuperGT races to give him a taste of sportscar racing and he should be prepared for a season in the 86s.

Sounds more like Richie's going for his Victorian Probationary Licence, rather than a paid racing gig.

Log up 120 hours driving in all conditions first.

The shortened Sandown 500 would have hurt his logbook....

He can't drive a turbohcarged car, or a V8 in some states.

So that may limit him to a Formula Ford for a little while.

A single seater will certainly ensure he doesn't break the peer passenger rule.

Imagine how good this guy will be after a year or two developing in Super 2.
Will add Championship and at least one Bathurst to that Sandown title he won on the weekend

His driving looks excellent but lets not get crazy, guys like Canto & Percat showed this kind of promise in their early careers too, and both had time in the dev series before graduating to the main game.

Unless the batteries have gone flat in my sarcasm detector. I think he was taking the **** with that comment.

Coming late to the party as usual - Richie isn't going back OS? No opportunities or lack of being able to keep doors open? Shame, but if he's here to stay then straight into the main game. (And Simona deserves her spot too.)

You wouldn't want to race in the "World's best touring car championship" (TM Mark Skaife)?
