Was a real shame we never got to see where it could have gone with 23Red

Unfortunately it was just a product of how out of band the Mustang was at that time.

This cant be a bad thing really.
Whether you like or dislike the man, have to appluad his investment into a few drivers in the field. Not sure Richie will find a FT Seat next year. I think he missed the opportunity with RBR he would be kicking himself about.

But it's not like he's had a dud seat this season. What is it that stops Richie from running closely with Payne?

And where do you think Richie would be running had he been given Brown's seat?

Oh he's not had a bad year at all to be honest. I guess his team mate has had better and thats their yardstick now I guess.

I think he would have more confidence running with the RB establishment based on his previous dealings and maybe closer to the pointy end but he needed to lock in his offered contract prior to the RB announcement I guess.
No idea if he would be better or not. Hard to impress in your first year back with a 1 year contract.

Are Grove building 2x new chassis for next season?

Might do to have some spares

Does anyone see the mysterious oddness in this congratulatory post?
One bloke out, company owner commits to a wildcard, company praises Boost supported pilot into now vacated seat…

Win win bust?

Calendar Stuck At 12 Events For 2025?

Here’s hoping not!

The tweaking of practice mileage (do we need 80 minutes of practice before first qualifying in Tassie in a sub-1 minute lap?), and holding of all-in full day tests at a race meeting either before or after (as opposed to buggering off to Quinnsland Raceway or Tailem Bend for rookie day tests) could surely be managed to connect more rounds at different locations.

$60k per car per round makes sense when there are additional on-track kilometres concerned.

Thinking logically, if you wound back the practice sessions, pushing more kilometres into points paying races, running costs should be close to identical. There was some noise around additional race starts costing more as the drivelines are stressed additionally, pressure on transaxle & clutch especially… yet we see today the teams having practice starts at full noise threatening to tear the centres out of the cars…

And equally the burnouts and stresses and strains for the winners post race puts components under reliability stress that may not be required to compete on track either.

So if the cars are on track for the same lilometres, the incremental costs for new venues should be the usual travel & accommodation which are definitely likely to be less than $60k/round/car, especially if the new 2025 Dunlops prove more durable

Twelve events will more than likely result in the AGP being the only event in Victoria.

Auto Action reporting Cooper Murray signing with Erebus

Someone or a few are going to miss out?

Some nervous weeks ahead for some.

De Pasquale To Team18?

[Sandgroper]

Davey & Anton team mates again.

[Kingair]

Does that mean Mr Kostecki to DJR?

A bit of a sideways, one step back move for ADP?

Where will Frosty be a co-driver in 2025?

[GTRMagic]

Kostecki to DJR? Speculation

[V8 Fireworks]

I see that Evans is already confirmed, but would Winterbottom (if a suitably low salary agreement could be reached) be a faster driver of the SCT Smith family machine?

It was a perfectly competent lineup at Erebus Motorsport. Presumably Davey rates Anton and put a good word in?
