Nothing stopping PMM entering a Wildcard if they felt he was ready.

Morris/ADP would be a strong combo, as far as wildcards go.

Maybe that's where Aston Martin have been going wrong. Listening to their experts over you!

I think Paul Morris is enjoying his time as mentor to De Pasquale, good to see past drivers putting back into the sport

One has to seriously look at the viability of LDM resting continuously on the back of the grid. Its admirable that they keep persisting however running two cars with a lack of funds for development, drivers who are either engaged on a meeting by meeting basis or simply not ready yet is doing nothing to move them forward.
What price would be offered to take these recs off their hands? Would Morris promote his young charger to make the big time? Matt Stone and Hazelwood?
This may have already been discussed..

Morris has been there, done that.

The point to remember is, as long as LDM keep turning up, they don't really have a case to answer.

All depends if the RECs are pledged as security for something else or not potentially.

Stanaways form benchmarked against Waters and Bright will be interesting to watch over the next few races.

He seems to have his eyes set on the main game, but a well prepped PRA car for Super 2 combined with a Wildcard entry where possible and an Enduro seat next to whoever PRA's main contender is at the time wouldn't be a bad learning year.

Agreed, I just can't see how the above is a bad thing for Richie, he looks the goods but with the right preparation he will only get better.

Outwardly he seems to have a bit of SvG like character...

As much as I want him in the main game - I can't find a spot for him. Not through talent, just lack of seats.

I think he may get a wildcard or 2 plus enduros with PRA next year.

Is there a better seat than the PRA seat out there for Chaz?

If you can get that kind of package together, they'd be a competitive force next year.

Although the punters behind the keyboards will whinge about the grille badge, and other trivial things to do with it.

If Mr McNamara were still in the seat at HMS, it may well have already have happened...
