Having sponsored Russ back in the day he is not shy to put his hand out, and he muckrakes that it is a cost cutting measure. Maybe he priced himself out of a gig.

the fact that Lowndes is still truly tied to Holden and RBR will make him bias - Roland will not have it any other way

Will be interesting to see how Lowndes settles in. I feel like Ingall did a pretty decent job, but Skaife was painful. It's not the bias or injokes, that sort of stuff I can tolerate (and will be the same with Lowndes), but IMO Skaife struggled to take himself out of the drivers seat. I thought there was too much "He's doing this wrong, this is what I would do" which was difficult to take seriously when the driver in question would then go and make a pass or do something correctly. I get that passion is important, but I feel he would get too invested in a particular moment or point of view and blow things out of proportion.
"What is wrong with these drivers letting people through without a fight, I'd never do that!" "He shouldn't fight, he should do the smart thing and let him through without a fight, that's what I'd do!" Yes Mark, you're one of the greatest racers of all time and can do no wrong, now can you please just talk about what's actually happening, not about what isn't happening? |

Won't make a lick of difference, I'm afraid.

Personally I'm not that displeased that Ingall is gone. Found him to dribble on a bit plus had a few not so pleasant run-ins at the track and during autograph sessions with him.

Perhaps old Russ was a bit stingy with his secret Santa present at the Foxtel Christmas party!
Wonder where he will pop up next. |

Mr Fogarty raises several valid points.

Fantastic article by Foges.
I'm also not sure we need Lowndes featuring 'heavily' in the season launch. Shouldn't the series be promoting the future and not the past? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

The media and the general population love Lowndes, but there are a few who know what he is really like

Tander would be a much better person to do the job, as he has done a lot of commentary on Super 2 over the years and some other classes if memory serves me ( nations cup or similar? Porsche ? ). He's speaks well, doesn't dribble crap, and most of all is pretty unbiased. |

Not a fan of Fogs, but his comments are spot on.

So when Lowdnes is unavailable, guess what, we get Garth, another contracted 888 driver, no, there will be no bias at all.Getting beyond ridiculous.

Don't think you'll be getting either.
GT was merely a suggestion, and has the same commitments as CL. |
