In the no surprises column we have Tickford confirming Fraser in the ex JKos car, still backed by Tradie.

If JC wasnt worried in 2023, he has every reason to be now as most stories suggest Best taking over JC seat next

With the way he has acted and the way he posts on social media I don't see any sponsor wanting to be represented by him.

Sometimes it isn't about driving talent.

Altercation happened, but wasnt aware a third person was involved.

He seems to be one of those guys that was never good at the day in day out car setup and all that, plus the media pressure.

I think for a co-driver to a car that will be well setup there is probably not a better guy.

I think other than bad pit strategy he and Murph should have been a lot higher up the grid, the car looked to have significant speed all day, and Richie's stint's were as good as anyones.

No doubt Adderton put him in the position to show that performance - if he wins Bathurst with SVG what then?

Might depend on SVGs plan, or how Feeney is travelling.

**GTRMagic** · 9 Jul 2023, 10:57 (Ref:4167354)

The old poll is looking a bit sad...

**GTRMagic** · 9 Jul 2023, 11:01 (Ref:4167358)

So.. Bathurst Wildcards...

#33 Tim Blanchard/Jordan Love (Cooldrive BRT Mustang)
#71 Kai Allen/TBC Penske International Pilot (Shell DJR Mustang_
#888 Craig Lowndes/Zane Goddard (Keep It Super 888 Camaro)

Rumour and speculation on at least 2 of those pairings...
Who would want to come out and drive the Supercar? It is running at Sandown and at Bathurst apparently.. so its 2 weekends out of a season (NASCAR) that is still going... or is in the middle (Indy) and after it ends

Will Power?

Simona De Silvestro to 3rd DJR Mustang

**GTRMagic** · 17 Jul 2023, 10:26 (Ref:4168737)

So what’s the story with BRT?

If you believe some of the 7,046 podcasts floating around, the team allegedly had a mass exodus if staff from their main game program.

Like 4 out of 5 permanent Vegemite’s…

Again, depending which podcast you believe, they are all off to PremiAir to try and get that lot further up the grid.

The team has said there is no problem

Yet there is a second car to build, some drivers to sort, a Super2 prodigy to unlock..

The team did take delivery of a shiny new tri-axle B-trailer for the main game squad, the ex-DJR bogie B-trailer destined for the Super2 operation.

Presume they will make Eastern Creek with a complete package.

Notably the pilot has only been sharing about his better half’s run on a reality teev show and kept right out of this.

Weird.. paper talk?

Love to see the Swiss Miss back in the series, with a competitive car and good co-driver!

It's a shame the rumour is she has signed with DJR...

**GTRMagic** · 18 Jul 2023, 07:35 (Ref:4168858)

Well it makes for an interesting question..
Does DJR have a finished 3rd chassis?
And will it go to Mr Davison or Mr De Pasquale as a new chassis, and their higher mileage version moved into wildcard duties?

Unless the 3rd car is a Camaro

**GTRMagic** · 18 Jul 2023, 10:08 (Ref:4168871)

E75…

How would it go in an E85 tuned engine..?

Is that a BOOOOMMM I hear several times over…

Not according to the engine expert cited in the article?

Rampant stupidity to do it mid-season though, I can't see how that is justified at all.

Kingair · 20 Jul 2023, 06:36 (Ref:4169141)

Looks like another issue for BRT, Jonno Webb to replace Joey Mawson for the enduros.

Kingair · 20 Jul 2023, 09:59 (Ref:4169154)

Sorry, that should be PremiAir racing!

Mawson gets caught with a "supplement". Webb gets hired as his replacement. This raises some eyebrows....twice. Will we see the return of a previous sponsor just for the enduros?

"hired"

Swiss Miss and Kai Allen confirmed as DJR wildcard entry.

Speedcafe reporting the details for car 98.

Will that car be fitted with debris, debris sensors?

Interesting it is a Bathurst-only entry..
Thought I had read somewhere enduro wildcards were obligated to run at Sandown too

Wonder how much branding space Harvey Norman will take up on #98
