simon5574 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
hypothetical 2013 silly season

Imagine for a minute.....

COT is introduced and a whole lot of new sponsors are motivated by new manufacturers and their overseas contracted drivers are ready to return to Oz...

Stick with me for a minute...

Mark Webber still wants to drive cars but something less stressful and wants to be the No.1 driver. Red Bull decide to enter Mark in the Aussie V8 series alongside Daniel Ricciardo

Marcos Ambrosefinishes runner up in the 2012 Sprint Cup Series and decide he's had enough of the states after a post race altercation with Tony Stewart. Stanley want to retain him and re introduce their brand in Oz. Marcos is entered in a 1 car satellite SBR V8 team

Will Power is forced to leave Indy Car after giving the bird to officials a second time during his 5 year probation. Go Daddy want to use Will to help launch their brand in Oz with team owner Danica Patrick.

Chad Reed takes the opportunity to attend test days with a view to joing Team Danica for the enduros.

Ryan Briscoe is lured back to the V8's by HRT in a deal that will see him assume 49% ownership of the team alongside M Skaife.

John Martin leaves the world series after a series of terrorist attacks bring an end to the series....again. Paul Morris takes the opportunity to enter John in a V8 BMW COT.

....this is just a few of the decent aussie drivers overseas that could easily return to our shores in the next couple of years...

Hypothetically - who would dominate and who would fail out of this group?

Although he got screwed by the late Tom, Skaife has already failed at HRT ownership, so most of the Briscoe argument is a hollow one.

The rest, is all very hypothetical!

Mark Webber will be free at the end of next year too. So will Michael Schumacher.

You reckon they would be any good?

Paul Morris is know the CEo of V8 Supercars after a buy out by TM Holdings, Russell Ingal has retried and is now the driving standards Officer.

HRT sold out/forced out by James Brock, and reserected the HDT name.
Allan Moffot put together the Ford Dealers Team and brought together DJR, J Webb, and secured PMM rec, now running a three car team.

Supercheap took over GRM, saying we always wanted a two car team, now that we have Will Power, and casey Stoner, Super cheap Auto racing,SCAR has neve r been happier.

SBR has linked with young Matt, and have 6 cars running, 3 in the main game and matts running three in the new cat of BCF sponsored Sportsman class.

In other movements and rumblings, Australians have taken over parliment and will form a new dictatorship aimed at ending football as the major sport supported by goverments. It has been annouces a race cicuits will be built across Australia. Permanent tracks from Cairns, around to Darwin.

With a new meeting in Broome, the GAS 500 to come onbaord.

Those Toyota Aurions were prominent in the Aussie Racing cars. In 2013, could we see someone operate a TART (Toyota Australia Racing Team)?
