People who think the sun shines from Roland needs to get a decent read on reality. What makes a team like Triple 8 is the TEAM as a whole, not one person. As for Ludo, if he enjoyed working with Triple as they kept getting more dominant he would have stayed. Knowing someone who was with Triple between 2013 and 2014, they hated the atmosphere, the discipline was too strict and even off the circuit Roland still was too strict. Running a tight ship is good, but only too a certain degree. Like driving a racecar, you can only push a certain amount, too learn you make an error or something gives, then you learn and don't repeat, Adrian was the first bar to give in 2014. If Roland was a half decent person to work with he would have learnt. Then we saw Jeremy Moore leave, if I recall even he coped some criticism for looking to go bigger and better in his career. Then we see Ludo leave, doesn't this make some people think that maybe something is going on behind closed doors. This brings me to the next point, Whincup at Bathurst in 2015, the call to come to pit from Roland was when Jamie was near the final corner, Dutton had to call quickly but not quick enough, it wasn't possible. After going around again, Dutton wasn't happy but gave Jamie the option to come in, Roland (I agree in a way, wanted him in for safety) but the way he got at Dutton and said get him in now wasn't how you should talk to a member or employee. As for 2014 and 2016 Bathurst I cant defend Jamie, he was in the wrong.

I'll repeat, Ludo has worked with Roland since the late-90s in the BTCC. If he had a problem with how Roland did things, he surely would have worked that out well before 18-odd years were up. People leave jobs all the time, even jobs they've been with for a long time just to try something new.

You seem to be pushing a barrow of some sort, or have some personal issue with Roland Dane going on.

How did Colin Chapman, Frank Williams, Ron Dennis and Jean Todt run their teams? In a similiar style to the way Roland Dane runs his time I would summise.... seems to get the results too judging by those names mentioned above. Perhaps more team owners should take a leaf out of Roland's book?

Its not hard to be ahead of some of those co drivers.

You can only race the other people on the track, and David did a fine job running up the front in the enduro's.

Who are the co-drivers who it isn't hard to be infront of?

You are making a mountain out of a molehill and over-reacting.

It isn't damaging to the sport at all, it is just someone in the sport having an opinion, something more people in the sport should be doing.

A lot that you post is opinion really, some have pulled you up on some things which is ok, because it is silly information. But some you say is opinion, about 50/50. Some others here though seem to think you can slander others opinion and if that happens they have to expect a reply they wont like. In your case I haven't seen anyone be harsh

I know that's what I've stopped doing I mostly only post articles now or unopinionated information. I looked backed at my previous posts and was mortified with how I acted I just want to move on from the past

But I think other examples are few and far between.

They've gone out with that "livery" in practice today.

So do a good group of employees magically appear and automatically know how to work together? This is quite literally one of the most ridiculous remarks I have read on the internet. Well done.

So do they still run an E85 fuel or have they switched to 98 octane fuel?

Presumably its business as usual with an E85 equivalent, that press release/news story wasn't particularly illuminating....

That they are partnering with Shell Fuels as opposed to Shell V Power suggests the ethanol product is still go...

It is a commercial deal to some extent, the maker produces the fuel for the series, they on sell it at a margin, and advertise at events/on cars etc. Might not be a zero cost, but could be seen as a user (mostly) pays model..

twinwebbers · 3 Mar 2017, 01:25 (Ref:3715985)

Not going to bag someone having a go but... Rullo is not exactly helping his SuperLicence dispensation when he's ended in the tyre barriers for the first two sessions of the year. I guess at least he's having a go... and probably a dam sight better driver than me.

Razor · 3 Mar 2017, 02:44 (Ref:3715994)

So when the "Retro Round" comes around, could we see the old Shell Championship logo back on the cars?

Yep agreed it's like football you can have a team of all stars but there useless if you don't have a good coach/manager to lead them

There's also a referance that Todd and MSR could potentially run a wildcard at Bathurst I would assume the other driver would be Marjoram
