2020 VASC Silly Season

[mayhem]

Solid chance that Stanaway will be at Team Sydney with Boo$t.

[Phillip Ireland]

Any further news on the possibility of a VASC drive next season for "The Chick In The Datsun"?

Apart from the Porsche e-drive. Still can't figure out whether she is really good but driving a shitbox, or not quite as good as we had hoped.

Will the Supercheap branding follow Mostert? Earlier in the year, before it became clear that Mostert was WAU bound, Russell Ingall suggested that the sponsor would follow the driver, much like it did with him from Paul Morris to HRT. Although Castrol have for a long time also featured on Supercheap liveries as part of an arrangement the retailer has with a number of its suppliers, which would conflict with Mobil.

Well SuperCheap Auto sells other oil brands.

[Sandgroper]

Surely Will Brown has a seat somewhere.

Definitely worth it,

Not Mobil.

It would require a new distribution arrangement... Not impossible, of course.

Would the premium pricing of Mobil 1, Mobil Delvac and Mobil Super oils clash with the ethos of being "Super Cheap"!?

How many cars would he have to write off to lose the drive? More or less than Andrew Jones?

#6 - Tickford - Ford - Cam Waters*
#23 - 23Red - Ford - Will Davison*

#88 - RBHRT - Holden - Jamie Whincup*
#97 - RBHRT - Holden - Shane van Gisbergen*

#9 - Erebus - Holden - David Reynolds*

#55 - Tickford - Ford - Jack Le Brocq

#81 - Team18 - Holden - Scott Pye

Looks like we will be saying goodbye to Simona unfortunately, it would have been good to see her in a competitive car. It's a pity the 888 deal never eventuated last year.

I wonder who else will be left standing when the music stops? Slade? Hazelwood? Stanaway? I think Golding won't be in Supercars in 2020 but will be racing other categories with GRM.

Destined for co-driver land.

Would love to see Bieber do a full season of S5000 next year

[mtpanorama]

Pye gone from the soccer team WAU.

Overhead in my day job that Tickford might be having another black car with Jack Daniels' coming back.

[Mixer]

Pye has been a wasted talent at DJRTP and WAU, is he off to BJR or MSR? I would imagine both require a, dowry

Apparently bound for Team Forklift? Pretty solid line up actually.

If he couldn't win with DJRTP equipment, then is he really a "wasted talent" as such?

He's said to be off to Team 18, where endless possibilities await him

Because when he was there they were ****?

[Umai Naa]

I find it ironic how a fair chunk of his 2016 results were scrubbed due to various technical infringements when Penske was knocking on the door.

Yet in 2016 they were more than twice better placed in the Teams' Championship than Team 18 currently is.

[Mixer]

Is there a broken record here?

Also duh, just quietly they were a 2 car team.

No broken records from Team 18, that's for sure Mixup.
Just leaves the one you're playing.

Hence more than twice better placed.
Based on your analysis you should be able to work out how to categorise T18.

Lock him in at Team 18 in the second car.

at that stage DJR were crapolla and lets face it, its only turned around since Penske and Scotty got involved.

Pye is a wasted talent I think.

[Forda]

He'll then ostensibly be an even bigger wasted talent at Team 18.

[Axeman444]

Pye confirmed with Captain Forklift

[Sandgroper]

SDS Off back to Europe, just announced
