2012 Silly Season

[rich07]

And it looks great!

[Chris - Melb]

A nice combination of old (GT racing stripes) and new. I like it, especially the (albeit unlucky) green colour.

The only thing missin is a Nissan

No amount of fancy paint schemes can hide another disappointing year for G. Murphy.

I think it'd look better without the GT stripes....is an odd colour for Pepsi though

It is the green that is used in the new Cash or the Car on pack promo that begins Thursday.

Wonder whether it be close to fluro green?

[thunderbolt]

Reminds me more of a can of V than a pepsi car.

HRT On The Comeback Trail

Interesting story.. seems odd for the lead driver to sign up for more years when not knowing what the operating structure might look like, and who he may be working with going forward...

Also suggests that Mr Tander didnt go much on Mr Mark 'Caretaker' Skaife, nor have much time for Mr Wilson or Mr Crawford...

[peckstar]

looks like a good call by someone a few pages back

[Mixer]

Man there are some cool looking liveries this year but Fiore's is pretty busy, not sure how that's gonna look on TV?

I thought the same thing, I remember Roland saying after bathurst that Thompson was by far the best co-driver at the mountain..........what changed?????

Plus i think he was mad to pass on the Tekno drive, reasonable team with good equipment, do a good job, get picked up by someone else and not forgotten, someone say David Reynolds

Just my thoughts

[osrg]

There has been a lot of chatter throughout pit lane over the last 12 months or so about young Thompson and his...... Errrr.... Attitude.

Steve Owen factor?

Going On The New DJR Paint, I also Notice That FORD is off the windscreen and has been places on front splitter and end plates on the spoiler, decrease in funding from FORD this year, DJ was quoted saying that they would recieve backing from ford but the level was yet to be determined. Any one have any insight....GTR you always seem to be in the know of these things...

What changed? Roland Dane's love affair with Scott Pye did.

And I believe Thompson would have got the drive at Tekno if had as much money as Patrizi did.

[peckstar]

your kidding me

[St00ge]

Well didn't they balls it up for the last couple of years and sold the whole car coverage to Mother for less than they should of.. So maybe they have learnt from their mistakes..

[madman16]

Or is the fact that Thompson believes he's too good for the tekno drive and deserves something better even though he has yet to prove himself as anything more than a good "dunlop series" driver

I believe Thommo was offered the drive but declined it, you think he was offered "you pay this much and get the drive"? Its not the way I thought it was reported but who I am to know...

He was fairly burnt by the PWR drive I think, but he's certainly got an odd reputation since - no good in the wet? Difficult to work with? Up himself?
