Coulthard will never race in a top team again. Why would Triple 8 hire him? I'd say it could be Brodie Kostecki alongside SVG. There were some rumours that Cam Waters may join the team but I'd doubt it can happen. Although this could do him good as he won't be able to fight with 888 with Tickford.

Mr Goddard didnt do his chances any harm at the weekend either..

Mr B Kostecki, Mr Hazelwood and Mr Feeney are probably the most likely candidates.

A reunification of the Hazelwood/McDougall/Triple Eight chassis combination would be pretty strong.

Any of those 3 I really like. Good blokes, seem like they have the right stuff, seem to have had enough background to not do anything silly, and seem pretty polished with the media.

I have to say that maybe Hazelwood has gotten a bit lost at BJR but there's no doubting the sponsor value with him is well beyond the TV time. If you had him MCing your events or something under the radar he'd deliver in spades.

For me the one who has leapt up this year is Brodie Kostecki. It did seem a bit crazy for Erebus to go with two rookies but Brodie has done very well, and I thought really hit the mark with the sponsor plugs and saying all the right things. One wonders what his contractual position is...

Broc is certainly talked up by Paul Morris, but maybe you'd say a year behind Brodie. But if he smashes out a quick time or surprises everybody with a smart result at Bathurst he would probably edge out the other two.

Im concerned Hazlewood may get lost in the BJR web
Not many have done much down there.

[Umai Naa]

The place is known to be a bit of a career killer.

He'd want to be looking further up pitlane sooner rather than later.

Roland Dane says there are 6 names on their list, Feeney on it. Any guesses who might be as well?
Feeney, Kostecki, Waters, Bamber, Hazelwood, Pye?

I thought Cam Waters was tied to Tickford certainly for next year and perhaps 2023. Did they not last year confirm an extension?

(I understand that contracts these days seem to be flexible with situations like Reynolds at the end of last year after just one year of a ten year contract)

My prediction concerning Cam is based only on AutoAction's reports. Waters himself claims he's not going to leave Tickford but we all know how it is with contracts and denying rumours....

Supercars will be a big stepback to his Porsche-Deal. Unlikly.

A stepback? Don't think so. Depends on what are your priorities.
