pcruickshank should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Mr GTR,
We at PCR don't claim to be SBR, we are very lucky to have an arrangement to purchase their great cars, but we don't sell ourselves as SBR, we have been operating for 2 1/2 years now and we pride ourselves on being our own people, we do not aspire to be other teams only do the best job we can as our own team.We have developed our own culture and we think it seems to work ok. Currently we are 3rd /5th in the HPDC series, the only 2 car team with 2 cars in the top five. We are currently 3rd/11th in the Carrera Cup series, having won the last round at Eastern Creek. In May we did 3 race meetings, Perth Carrera Cup(Third overall Jono Webb), Wakefiled HPDC (2nd overall, equal 1st on points Warren Luff), Eastern Creek(Pole,race win, round win Jono Webb). That to us was a very good month.
We have not won an HPDC round yet, but I think in reality its not too far away.
So as you state, we are not SBR,we have good drivers employed here, but we also don't have Marcus Ambrose driving for us, we do not have the might of Ford Motor Company behind us. We are building up our sponsor support base very well and all of our partners are happy to date with the work we are doing.
We have developed our own operating systems based on the experience within the team, we have some great experienced people working here, I am sure some of the VCS teams would like to have some of our people(based on phones calls to poach them !!!)
If you are coming to Eastern Creek, why don't you drop in and have a closer look at our operation, meet the team, then make judgement on who we are and who we are not.
Motor racing is a tough business, people should be encouraged not told what they are not.
hope to see you there
