That was nearly 6 weeks ago, and nothing mentioned since.

Even Ms Angelo herself, admitted there was nothing on the horizon as far as deals at this stage.

Known product for the Kelly's and Nissan. Top ten for 2 of the last 3 years. Low key, under the radar, takes no attention away from Simona, keeping his eye in with Aust GT.

Mr Russell has a personal sponsorship with Dayco. Dayco is also a sponsor of the Nissan squad. Perhaps one caused the other...

Certainly Dayco sits on the rear wing of #78 where the Lenovo brand sat in the launch pictures...

For me I would rather see Renee Gracie on a calendar in the garage where Chelsea's car is getting fettled :} but for a female driver the promotional picture is murkier.

Based on her social media activities, she doesn't seem to interact much if at all, with other members of the motorsport fraternity. Only other female drivers she seems to 'follow' on IG at least, are Danica Patrick, and SdS. Read into that what you will.

It's all starting to seem like she'd much rather be doing other things with her life. Like motorsport isn't her priority anymore. I follow other young up-and-comers, not just female ones... they're all out there chasing money, chasing drives in anything, and everything. Testing this, racing that. At the race shop, pitching in. Always trying to create new and potential opportunites.

I just don't see that in Renee anymore.

Agreed - with her obvious appeal and social media following, who wouldn't put her into their sports sedan, sprintcar, or whatever, giving her more sponsors to plus and new fans... I love guys like Paul Morris or Jack Perkins that will just go drive anything their bum fits in, and I do think it makes you a better driver.

Plus I tell you, I haven't driven any V8Supercar but I have driven a sports sedan and a sprintcar and you should never ever turn down the chance to drive something approaching 1:1 power to weight!

I've noticed a 50/50 split of driver who use personal accounts to flog the seat they're in and those who keep it to a minimum and have the team's feed doing all of that...

But then she could a driver who only does what's required to keep the sponsors happy and for what they have paid. Anything more and, no.....

Image Racing don't have a huge/regular social media presence, although VMS and Mr Jewell you may have thought would be keeping that sweet..

It's not just the sponsors they already have, they need to keep happy. They also need to operate to some sort of standard that entices new brands to come on board.

BJR weighs up Pirtek Enduro Cup options

So 4 spots available (plus wild cards)

3 LDM
1 BJR

although potentially still a gap at Tekno

Meantime, there were lots of rumblings about the decision to put Mr Campbell into the #97 car for the enduros.

Early days of course, but 2 poles for the first 2 races for Porsche Supercup Here ain't half bad going!

why do the NRL and AFL grand final need a live a music act.

Is it not just a marketing idea to create interest amongst fringe supporters or older supporters and increase attendance and interest
