peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
My Son came in this morning and asked if the V8s were racing at Abu Dhabo this year.

Apparantly some app on his iPod had suggested it to him.

Was there originally an announcement to race at abu Dhabi or is it a left over from last season?

T8 would make the most sence.

Hallam @ Tekno is a massive step down in team stature with his recent history being Holden Racing team - Michael Waltrip Racing in NASCAR and Mclaren F1.

Unless Tekno are planning on leaving the T8 fold and going on their own Hallam seems a bit overqualified.

Agree it would be a step down, presumably he was let go by WR, maybe needs a job?

Why would the WTCC be our main series?

If we used their ruleset, Super2000, we would have our own drivers, own officials and own marshall's racing on our own tracks.

And wasn't V8Supercars linked to racing at Macau a couple of years back?

Engineer Movements...

Campell Little Leaves FPR...

... with Mr Nilsson also going (to HRT) and Mr Small apparently (according to AA) off to RCR in NASCAR next season...

Will there be anyone left at FPR next year?

Meantime, wonder if Mr Courtney's alleged new engineer has handed in his notice yet, to get into the spirit of gardening leave... whilst in the middle of trying to secure his almost-pensioner driver a long awaited 4th title?

Presuming any of this actually happened...

If Mr Moore does in fact find his way to Clayton, he'll most likely be Mr Tander's engineer.

So Campbell Little is no longer engineering Alex Davison's car, and then Alex ends up fastest of all in the final practice session at PI!

On new tyres? And arguably the fastest Mr A.Davison is likely to go all weekend..

Erebus Testing SupaShock... with Tim Slade

While other teams are hiding their 2014 developments from their departing drivers, Erebus is handing the testing & development duties to Mr Slade, who is off to WP next year.

Nice stuff!

I suspect there are drivers who would prefer not to be used as the guinea pig during the last race weekend of the year.... and I think it's probably a fair bet that reason is probably why they're rolling the dice on Slade's car and not Holdsworth's.
