Changing an engine in Mr Whincup's car for a less-mileaged one as opposed to a fully fresh one isnt a usual activity of that squad either. Nor is having straight line speed issues and the whole drivetrain remains intact. A lesser team might see that as a squad with no spares... |

I suppose it's a bit hard to throw everything including the kitchen sink at a recalcitrant car, when all you brought to the track is the toilet and the chap that dries your hands.

Holden renewing their deal might not be a sure thing, or at a reduced rate. Smart move completely walking away from the 3rd car when it couldn't be fully funded. May as well get rid of the assets required to run a 3rd car too, if not required. He might also have one eye on retirement? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

He also in recent times stepped away from the Supercars board.
Mixed opinions on that one, coming from the paddock |

I think they may have one too many fingers in pies here

Well it’s possible. Although they probably have extra resources there. It remains to be seen at the moment

A team competing in multiple series would need to cost/apportion/separate those revenues and costs into the appropriate buckets per program. Sponsors would probably want to see where funds have been allocated to, too - the more dollars involved, the greater the accountability. This still doesn't add any further to what GTR was mentioning earlier. That is, something else must be going on, or has occurred previously, or is going to occur in the future. |

I can’t comment on the TV coverage, but Saturday at Phillip Island was a good way of spending a day’s holiday! As a “motorsport tourist” it was worth going, We watched from the inside of T1 (as well as wandering around) as a great view and a big screen. Very different to the UK, hearing it talked about on the radio. Less people than I expected and no queues getting in / out; and another circuit ticked off the list!

Glad you enjoyed it - hope you get a chance to check out Bathurst (there's a race meeting there over Easter). |

Indeed, one of the best spectator circuits and different from most Aussie venues. Well worth a visit

No chance to get there this weekend, but did make it up when nothing was on to see what it was like - looked great and did a few laps.
Phillip Island was warm enough for us and thought the viewing was good too, being able to see lots from various places. |
