Who is going to drive with Larkham at Bathurst?

Michael H · 12 Jul 2001, 10:56 (Ref:116068)

Mark Larkham would not comment on who his co-driver is going to be on V8Superstars.
Who could it be?

He can't get Alain Menu back. This is a shame. Menu is a legend. He has to drive in the DTM finale for Opel with Euroteam.

Who will drive with Larko?

Who would you like to see drive with Larko?

Is it a local, or is it a Euro ace?

Answer these important questions and help solve one of the last remaining mysteries of the 2001 V8Supercar season!

hmmm..I think by the reading of Auto action today Larko will try and get a driver to bring some funds with him ..so with that in mind i have no idea who will drive with him.

yet another kick in the pants for mark larkham..who is a very good driver and also quite good on public relations but yet seems to have had some bad luck over the last 6 months or so concerning sponsors..lets hope he lands one soon and then can choose a co driver on merits instead of credits !!!

It mind as well be me. It wouldn't matter, the Luckless Larkham isn't going to have the car out there circulating into the co-drivers first stint.

I was wondering why Larkham was selling his car in last weeks Autoaction and I was going to start a thread about it but didn't get around to it before the next Autoaction answered my question.

Could Larko's new sponsor if he can get one affect who his co-driver would be ?

Larko needs a driver could the answer be hidden Here

Gaston Mazzacane? Ricardo Rosset? Taki Inoue?

By the way he was talking it sounded like he had an overseas driver he was talking to, usually with young drivers they don't seem to be as guarded, so maybe Mazzacane, Rosset and Inoue are on the right track.

Ha Ha LOL @ Marcus, I don't think Craig's got much chance. Especially if Lorna writes him a reference.

racer69 · 14 Jul 2001, 07:25 (Ref:116888)

How about Wayne Gardner, I haven't heard anything about him racing at Bathurst this year, so maybe he's the man.

Crash Test · 14 Jul 2001, 10:45 (Ref:116936)

I'd say with the current turn of events he will probably go with a young pay driver...

Michael H · 15 Jul 2001, 02:56 (Ref:117208)

It could be Wayne Gardner, as was said above. What about Rickard Rydell?

marcus · 15 Jul 2001, 03:08 (Ref:117210)

actually Wayne gardner is probably a very good choice..i dont know if he is linked with any teams at present but his performance last year with FTR was very good ..he has experience of the cars and the track and has been keeping his skills up in Japan GT racing...sounds like a top choice to me...money maybe an issue as Wayne wont fork out of his own pocket for a ride and im not sure what his sponsorship deals are...but i would like to see him back t bathurst again.
