Yes, it's true that they have all driven V8's at some stage. But with the exception of Courtney, they are still chasing their dream of racing international open-wheelers. They haven't just settled for the barges.
I'd say the smart bet would be Jones (talented, experienced, and well recognised name) and Davison (talented, very fast, he's tested an F1 car). And Davison hasn't been in v8's long enough to develop the bad habbits.
It's a big (and expensive!) gamble for Australians to try and make it in International open-wheelers, so I think it should be out of these guys. (as well as Barton Mawer). They're the ones that have been putting the effort in. They’ve put it all on the line, they should be rewarded.
Plus we've seen how an established, full-time V8 driver goes in these sort of cars - Lowndes in F3000........
