- That Erebus MotorsportV8 has sold the #4 REC to MSR
- That with the 2 RECs sold off, that the workshop & engineering facilities & staff have been acquired by LDM, who will relocate to Yatala from 2016

- That Erebus MotorsportV8 is stopping development of the MB powerplant, switching to the V8SC control engine (a Cragsted Chev from memory?)

- That Erebus MotorsportV8 is switching to Holden in 2016, with the blessing & financial support of Holden Motorsport

- That Erebus MotorsportV8 is for sale

- That Erebus MotorsportV8 has been sold as is where is

- That the brothers Stone are part of a consortium, with a new manufacturer's support, to re-acquire Erebus MotorsportV8 & the two RECs to run a new brand in 2016

As that feisty retailer Joyce Mayne once said, any publicity is good publicity, if they are talking about you, they are leaving some other poor sod alone...

Presuming any of this actually happened
Whilst many punters including me will shake their head at the addition of another Holden on the grid, will it be a better outcome than having the non competitive Benz running around, presuming that the Holden would be competitive with its new owners ?

Will manages top 10 in both practices - a bit better than just making up the numbers I would have thought.

Good luck for qualifying Will.

FWIW - would rather have the benzs' than more commodores

So why does the team have so much difficulty attracting significant sponsorship?

It's because, if the stories are correct, they've priced themselves up into Triple Eight territory.

No marketing manager in their right mind is going to risk a couple of million of their employer's dollars to be a naming rights sponsor on a mid-pack team.

Its not doom or gloom to divest an asset. Companies do this all the time. Some are even pleased when doing so.

The potential here is no different.

Not sure what happened to TapOut, but I think you'll find that maybe Coke supplies a fridge and products,

Very surprised that Erebus is not running Coke coloured Mercs. Would look good for the team.

Would Erebus' current sponsors be happy with all the free plugs Coke seem to get via Betty?

Is it just me who hears 'Coke Life' and pictures an altogether different, and somewhat less wholesome image?
