Heard yesterday that Tom has purchased PWR race team off Kees Weel.

Anyone else heard this?

How do you buy something back you for all intents and purposes already own?

Huh?

Oh but they are seperate teams

**GTRMagic** · 5 Feb 2006, 03:13 (Ref:1515765)

Will PWR now be a customer of the TWG engine program, instead of Perkins?

Sounds like here we go again, if it is true, are the powers to be at v8$upertaxi australia going to let HRT(Uncle TOM) run 3 teams out of one shed AGAIN and stop Birtek from going testing.If it is true does it mean Holden are running the $upertaxi series.Time will tell

rdmdog · 5 Feb 2006, 06:30 (Ref:1515784)

Any word of trouble brewing at the sponsor of said team?

racer69 · 5 Feb 2006, 06:38 (Ref:1515787)

They'll just produce the paperwork showing Skaife owns one, John Kelly one and Walkinshaw the other, just with some common backing......that will clearly show they are seperate teams, unlike Britek and FPR

Mobil or Holden? Mobil are currently "rebranding" as they choose to call it, Losing lots of servos as others choose to call it. I have been told they are cutting back on all Sponsorship and this is from a franchise owner or should i say ex franchise owner. Performance Fuels in Newcastel is Mobil for a large part of NSW and has undergone a restructure as well, some of the servo's they supply are now wearing a different name. Thats about all i know except to say he told me he didnt believe HRT would be gettin much this year.

How long will Greg Murphy last under Tom.

If it wasn't for their oil sales there is a possibility of Mobil getting out of Australia.

They have just knocked on the head the restarting the moth balled refinery in South Australia.

Brisbane Terminal now shut down and the land being sold off (they share with the BP terminal)

The Port Stanvac issue won't lie down for Mobil though. The amount of money it's costing them to "clean" the area so it is usable for anything is massive.

I've heard they extended the moth balling another 7 years.

Is that what they told the SA Govt? I read about the pair of pollies who are "demanding" that Mobil clean up Port Stanvac NOW! Be interesting to see how that goes...

I am sorry retro but that is crap, all this is - is for Holden to run the $upertaxi series and FORD getting the bum deal.

Be funny if the current mob get rolled and the newbies announce they are pulling their support of the Clipsal... (note this is funny sad not funny haha)

Don't think that will happen - it's turned out to be one of the great SA attractions and now march is full of Go Man Go!! Mind you if Olsen was still running the show anything could have happened - we are still suffering the panoz case with the LeMans series cancellation and ensuing court case - don't know the exact status of that

WOMAdelaide, fringe, Adelaide Cup for horses and the C500 busy month

To many opportunities for the pollies to be photographed and kissing babies

I actually meant PWR's sponsor

pete55 · 5 Feb 2006, 10:32 (Ref:1515853)

What's all this got to do with Tom buying PWR and is or has he really bought it anyway. The news doesn't seemed to have reached the important people.

Raglanparade · 5 Feb 2006, 10:38 (Ref:1515855)

Supercheap leaving the v8's ? or switching teams ?

You know im surprised Bright hasnt just signed over Britek for the short term whilst hes at FPR....Im sure theres a way he can still own the team without actually "legally" owning it.
