GRM out of Supercars
So GRM depart the series, and Team 18 step up to two cars...

Presumably, the GRM recs haven't been included in any calculations about the number of cars for this year as they had intended to be running next year until they got unBoosted.
I believe the two Kelly RECs are already sold (one to MSR, one to perhaps Team 18) so maybe one GRM REC to Teamkno Sydney for their second car? So down another car next year perhaps? |

The problem with GRM is the age of the founder.

Sad day for supercars fans.
Now if old Gazza, has been a one legged transgender dwarf, and a little more politically correct would he got two weeks grace? |

It’s a very sad day and a reflection on how the category’s resistance to much needed change will cost the series in the long term.
Glad to see they’re continuing on in other categories and that there is avenues out there for the team to keep on racing and make some money out of it to keep the doors open. |

Unfortunately the verve and vitality Garry once had is gone. Can't help parking the blame at P. Adderton's feet; I think Garth and Golding may have been able to do enough to keep the fickle sponsor happy. Honestly though do we need that ******** in the sport? Demanding a rule change like that so late in the year and so close to REC deadline?
So much like Craig Gore it's not funny. |

I feel for Garry and his team. Another one of the foundation teams gone. I hope TCR and the open wheelers will turn out to be a better proposition for them in the long run.
Are there any other teams on the cusp of oblivion from Supercars? It cant be a good look for Supercars when a team cites the reasons Garry has to forcibly leave. |

They're involved, but it may as well be a new team.

GRM no longer apart of Supercars. If that doesn’t suit some people, then so be it.

Love it.
A side of T8 you never really get to see. Hopefully it will open up a few minds - Roland is human! |
