Sponsorship cash is my guess if they don't turn up.

the good news was, before the topic was split, that the cars had arrived in Taupo.

My understanding is that members of the GBR team either flew out to New Zealand on Saturday or are flying out Monday evening (tonight). The car is already there.

So hopefully see GBR there. Still no news on the driver... Winslow or Kerr I think.

Whilst I was trying to find a story confirming that GBR would not be there, I came across this. All it does is confirm that Danny Watts will not be there, which we've known for ages. I still think it's all a bit late. If I were the driver would prefer to have arrived at the weekend to get used to the time difference, but they're a lot fitter than I am, so maybe it doesn't matter so much. ![]() |

As for Winslow, he was rookie there last year and was announced as reserve driver for this season, so I wouldn't be too surprised if he was picked. Plus he is rookie eligible too so he can have maximum time to learn the track. |

Think they should have used Ben Clucas at Taupo if they run as he has raced and won there before is faster than Winslow!

I've lost interest now, so stand by original comment, although I agree Ben Clucas would be the best choice.

There is an unsubstantiated rumour that Dan Clarke will be driving for GBR this weekend.

Dan Clarke has the same media contact as team Lebanon.... could be some truth in it.

Quick to wreck cars that's all. I'm surprised the others will go out on track with him. |

Must be frustrating for Ben Clucas having to watch all these drivers which he has consistently beaten over the years get drives in A1 and yet is consistently overlooked. (ie Oliver Jarvis, Dan Clarke and James Winslow). They should at least give him a run!

Very quick but hope he's learned a bit of patience since last time I saw him in a race car.

![]() I see James Winslow is to be the rookie driver, but you would think that when someone like Dan comes into the Series, without any experience of the team, car or circuit, that he should be given a dispensation to run in the rookie sessions as well. By the way, I am quite interested again now. |
