Well, that sure is interesting. Watch the microscope come out on this competition. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be a sham...

Surely it can't cost $300k a year to do 5 rounds of Super3

Costs about $100K per year to do Super3/Kumho.

Paul Morris starting to call out this 'competition' on Insta. Care to screenshot his posts GTR? They make for interesting reading.

Some interesting comments on his Insta account (and not just the ones posted by GTR above). One wonders what Matt Powers really thinks of all this.

The issue apparently is that the winner of the Super2 now Super3 gig is said to have relocated his career and family to Australia in order to take up the prize. Presumably the expectation was to take the Super2 gig and parlay it into a full time main game gig for the future.

There was a note somewhere that said that the prize winner would still get the published $600k worth of prep value from their win. If the Super3 gig is $150k for example, is that 4 years in Super 3?

The Super3 prize was being parlayed as two seasons at $300K instead of one at $600K.

Is this why we saw a new shareholder at MSR?

For 300k a season in Super3 you would hope Powers is getting AAA grade equipment and support. Somehow I doubt that’s gonna happen

Other than a reset of the prize, the team has shown up at various GT and Toyota 86 events, presented a car or cars, and gone motor racing.

Completely get the disappointment of Super2 v’s Super3, and the ramifications of that. And to me you offer a published prize, with presumably state gaming authority approval, then you must pay that exact prize.

That said, I understand that a former CoaL marketing representative may actually be involved in that program in some capacity..

Does Mr Morris timing of calling out ADS coincide with the creation of his own driving academy program?

Yes.

Although one questions the lack of tact in bagging out a perceived competitor...

Perhaps not really a competitor, the PMDA model appears to be support of drivers that academy selects rather than an open competition where pilots have to pay to be chosen to be supported...

I'm just shocked that the Dude posted something on Instagram that doesn't involve his wife's cleavage.

I cant help but wonder if she's related to Rick Kelly.
An early pic I saw made me think of Rick's face & now I cant get it out of my head every time I see a photo.

Maybe its just some deep, diagnosed mental issue I have as it leads to some confusing images in my head.

I don't think Morris is kicking the ADS ants nest for any personal gain. But he's definitely asking big questions that are falling on deaf ears.
