I'm sure something will come out of this kmsport. Maybe you just need to take a valium or two and have a good nights sleep.

GTR, you may know something we all don't but one thing i have been told is that the grouping of FPR and Britek is causing concern at both organizations. What they intend doing about it is unknown though.

I dont know anything on this particular situation... perhaps Mr Bright will go to his own team, and get rid of the grouping issues, for both squads.....
Speculation only of course |

A tear in my eye is all....
Speculation is good fun... so lets hypothesize for a sec... If you read between the lines in the AA interview with Mr Jewell (GM, Britek) it can be construed that the 2005 deal promised to bigtime sponsor Fujitsu was not what they were ultimately delivered. The plan, as detailed in the article, was a single Fujitsu backed car in the main series, with Jason Bright driving, using the round-restricted licence as used by Mr Owen in 2005. In the end, the team expanded to 2 cars because Mr White, a "commercial investor" as described by the article, supplied sufficient funding to operate a car at each round of the series, and allowed the team the capacity to invest in another franchise licence slot. Mr Bright then signs on as lead driver to FPR, meaning the Fujitsu backers need to be sold on a 2 car team for the same investment, and drivers etc. need to be sought... and presumably Mr White doesnt have to pay full rent because the car is painted in Fujitsu colours. My White funds the buy of the ex-Thexton BA for Mr Fernandez to use in the HPDC series also in Fujitsu colours, as the original car to be used in that series was used instead by Mr White in the main game. At season's end... Britek have been on the teev for about 14.3 nanoseconds.. nobody really knows they exist... and the bloke who helped bring the Fujitsu dollars to Britek is upset with everyone because he has had no learning, no development and more importantly no test days. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Fujitsu was not too pleased at all of that, and requested a significant reassessment. Which may or may not have led to Mr Bright becoming lead driver in the squad that bears his name.... and Mr Fernandez the driver of the round restricted licence. The way I see it.. what is the point of FPR paying Mr Bright a shedload of $$, and the Britek team fiddles around and pays Mr Seton similar $$ to drive for the team. Would it not make sense for Mr Bright to be paid the big $$ by his own squad?? Then we can watch Mr Bright "put the Britek car in the top 12" as suggested by the AA article Again, pure speculation & conjecture |

Who else would there be to properly fill the second FPR seat. They would need a well recognised name next to Winterbottom's and Setons is the last big name left, regardless of if he is past it or not. |

There is another player in all of this, my source has told me a high profile driver is scouting for a ride and if Bright does go to Britek then this opens the door for this driver. He wont tell me who this driver is but has told me that he has been with Ford for a long time. Maybe JB will go to Britek and JB go to FPR.

I can't see Seto back at FPR but a Bright/Seto combo at Britek would certainly make Fujitsu happy. I still believe Seto wants an investment in a Team(should have brought a financial partner into GSR) and I thought Orrcon was a hot prospect but maybe Britek have offered him a stake. Of course this would all depend on any clauses in the sale contract when he sold out to FPR. He may not be allowed any ownership for quite some period. GTR????

If stories circulating mid year are true this guy might have more to do with drive ability rather than driving ability.

You mean Mr Benson?
He would do well assisting the engine rotation program at SBR... that is the hottest engine shop in the series right now... strong, reliable horsepower.. even though they are doing 9 cars this year.... |
