888-designed car, still Queensland based... likely fit in well enough with the SuperCheap people... while Mr Ingall can pop back into contention for the enduros.

Is there enough willpower in all of that to put something together?
wasn't this the intention of SBR for Mr Winterbottom going to LMS which died along with LMS?

and don't forget Mr Whincup's widely reported desire for a tilit in Nth America

Would be interesting, and good, for teams to have a Red Bull/Toro Rosso set up, along with a FV8 setup, money pending, which of course will be very hard to achieve. Driver proves worth in FV8, steps up to the junior team, learns the tracks/PR/competition, and if good enough, moves to the senior team.

But in this day and age of people whispering in young driver's ears that they are brilliant steerers, when they may be a little less than that in reality, coupled with Gen Y's enthusiasm for getting what they want yesterday, and doubt you will get a lot of patience for a driver to follow the above path... unless you didn't have the money to buy a drive
