If LRT switches to Ford, as has been widely rumoured, McConville, being a Holden-supported driver, is apparently able to exercise an exit clause on his contract to escape the LRT operation.
LRT do a good job from what must be said is a modest resource base, however it is doubtful McConville would be able to progress with this team without a substantial funding stepchange. Which I presume is why the Ford thing becomes very attractive for them.
Having said that, I still dont know why there is a perception that Alex Yoong can bring money to teams. Alex has been up and down the pitlane with his local management at the weekend, talking to anyone and everyone about opportunities here as a paid, professional race car driver.
