PS2244 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Seems like Matt Chahda Motorsport may be the team linked with a BJR customer deal hypothetically it makes sense with both teams being located in Albury it makes sense for testing and transporting and Matt has recently placed his FG Falcon for sale saying it's time to upgrade and is there any updates on the future of Josh Kean? I heard his named mentioned a lot at the Sydney 500 but cause of the noise I couldn't hear what they were on about

I think Josh Kean was set to go with BJR again this season. I had also heard at the end of last season that Matt Chadha was looking at the possibility of upgrading to an FGX. Not sure about Kean at BJR or Chadha with FGX though

By something else are you referencing a different category or different program in the DVS? He seems to want to be in the DVS when questioned as to why he was selling the FG he said he wants to upgrade which likely equates to him moving to a COTF chassis

Chahda may be looking at the spare chassis' at DJRTP perhaps then? It also seems like we won't be seeing Bryce Fullwood next year unless it's in a family run team with the VE commodore he owns

Ahh ok I think he'll end up in a commodore in a customer deal with BJR and it's also been confirmed that STR Motorsport are returning in 2017 with Matt Palmer cotf or project blueprint chassis is unconfirmed at this point though

Mr Chadha is said to still have the ex-Hectorcopter SBR FG in the shed, and the older Britek BF.. a bit of hardware, worth some coin, which likely needs to be cleared before the next project shows itself..

True he's had the BF for sale since 2014 he may use those sales to raise funds he shouldn't have too much trouble selling the FG it's a mean piece of kit

It is Mr McLaughlin's Dunlop series winner, SBR FG01 and since then has had a lot of mileage with different teams & drivers, usually on smaller budgets, and some quite significant accident damage in its most recent life.

Perhaps its value could come from a Scott McLaughlin fan looking to have a 1:1 scale model race car with a championship pedigree

Yep or perhaps a cheap option for a kumho touring cars privateer?
And in reference to the list of chassis' available for the Dunlop series you can add the walkinshaw built chassis used for car #4 at Erebus in 2016

I thought Fullwood was being connected with either MW again this year or if rumour is true and Le Brocq is set to go back to MW there was also talk that Fullwood could end up in a PRA car. After all he is a PRA academy driver

Driver swap then hahaha hope Fullwood gets a good drive he's such a nice bloke and a brilliant driver but from the interview he did with Apexnews unless PRA fund his drive which is unlikely to happen he probably won't be in a COTF chassis and perhaps Le Brocqs rumoured move to MW Motorsport is a sign he's being groomed as the heir to Todd Kelly's throne I don't see him continuing for much longer

I really hope Fullwood stays on the grid. He has more talent then some certain other drivers. The only reason they are there is to keep it alive and got there through pay drives

Le Brocq at MWM is supposedly a done deal, likewise an enduro gig with the Kellys.

Probably the enduro gig at the Kellys.

Thought to be no room in PRA's enduro squad this year. Apparently being replaced by Mr Jacobson, with Canto, Owen, and Stanaway staying on board.

We can almost guarantee then that Jacobson will be at the PRA camp in the Dunlop series then

Seems as though we may see Jesse Dixon on the grid this year judging by recent Facebook activity on his page anyone got any ideas as to where he would end up hypothetically if he musters together the necessary funding?

The car # suggests Image Racing, while the car in the drawing is an FG/X which Image Racing don't currently have..

Wonder what happened to Hayman Reese?

Obviously no one besides PRA would be entering an FG-X at this stage.

I can't imagine he'd be able to generate the required dollars this late in the game, to secure one of those seats for the long term. Nor could I imagine PRA renting a car out, on a round-by-round basis.
