greg has no stakes in SGR, and hence has no dollar loyalty to them. He only has his own Greg Murphy Racing Fujitsu franchise to worry about.
My bet is that he will be in a Ford next year, and SGR will be reduced to a 1 car team. |

Pity to see the 2nd oldest team in the category potentially shutting up shop. For those too young to know, the team was founded by Trevor Ashby & Steve Reed in 1986 initially operating out of their Lansvale Smash Repairs facility in Sydney. It was sold to Tasman Motorsport in 2004, initially remaining in Sydney before moving to Melbourne. |

Do Ashby and Reed still have any stakes or involvement in the team? Very sad for them as they were the epitomy of good, hard racing privateers.

I think Ashby and Reed retained a small shareholding when the team became Tasman Motorsport, but this may have since changed. The cars still carry Lansvale Smash Repairs decals on the rear quarters.

Interesting times, I'm sure something big is happening but I don't know if Tasman is just going to shut. Seems to me they might move into a merger or move under the umbrella of another team and purchase the cars, while retaining their own component development. With rumours that Perkins wants to offload his licences, Kelly Racing has space to prepare two cars and this might be an option for Ashby, Reed and Harrop. I get the feeling Kevin Murphy is splitting with his licence, as PCR are losing Bright's licence apparently. Obviously Greg Murphy will be torn between staying with his Dad's licence or finding another team. This silly season is building up, lots of movement and I'm sure some big surprises in store. I see Tasman, Bright, PCR and Tony D'Alberto making waves in some form or another. |

Now I got some ideas
1) Kevin Murphy is taking his licence (#51) to PCR, PCR are taking Bright & his licence's as well (#25 & #26). 2) D'Alberto needs a licence & a sponsor, Ashby & Reed have got a licence & a sponsor. So they merge together |

My Favourite 08 moment was when Courtney/Besnard comeback drive at Bathurst. Courtney raced through to dominate the opening stint had 15 sec. gap to Lowndes who was in 2nd. In the 2nd stint a slowly deflating tyre (originally diagnosed as a damaged anti-roll bar) slowed Besnard's stint in Courtney's car allowing Whincup to assert dominance over the field rest of the race. On lap 160 S.Richards, fading badly on rear tyres was unable to stop Courtney move into 3rd place.

Meantime back on planet earth....
Unless something fundamental has changed, Mr Boult, Mr Matthias, Mr Murphy, Mr Harrop & Mr Miles are allegedly the shareholders of Tasman. What happened to Mr Harrop's piece would be interesting to discover. There are a number of stories here, about his relationship to this squad, and the reasons behind the sale of the Harrop Engineering enterprise to AdRad.... Mr Ashby & Mr Reed sold out their franchise licence slots to that entity, on a payment plan, and it is said, are not a part of that legal entity. The Lansvale Smash Repairs branding allegedly appears courtesy of placement of the Taubmans sponsorship. |

how would PCR run 4 cars?
not sure what Steve and Trevor will do but they don't own the #3 REC they have a share in the wholeoperation. if D'Alberto runs under that licence he would have bought it IMO. |

Trevor and Steve have not been shareholders since 2005. Shareholders are Miles, Murphy, Mathias and Bolt. Harrop was a shareholder - but, was taken out in 2007.
According to AA Miles and Cruickshank are school boy mates - my source tells me they worked togther in the UK and are both from same SI town. Above is from a close mate of Jason Richards. The next bit is purley my guess. The departure of Greech allows Cruickshank to step in as Team Manager. Ford thing is a hoax to get money from Holden. Team either sells 1 licence and PCR give back Bright licence to be 2 cars - or operates as a 4 car team with Fabian, Murph Patrizi and Bargs. |

Maybe we can have a whip around to keep Murph in a Holden? While we're at it let's get him an oz passport as well. This Ford loving Kiwi doesn't want him in a ford, or in NZ

1 PCR car to Holden, 1 RNR car to Ford. we are at the same numbers we thought when 888 first announced the switch. still very one sided though.

So what's the deal with the Red Rooster everywhere around cameras when Skaife and Murphy were at Bathurst, and additional BJTM as well, was that a one race deal or is there some kind of future for that (Like the Wynns cars had K-Mart on them way back when) and is that associated with what is in hold for Tasman?

According to MNews Red Rooster was a one off, the Bob Jane is for the rest of the year. Bit of a kick in the teeth for the team's regular sponsors IMO to have a Johnny come lately having the prime racecam signage.
SGR certainly have the 'busiest' livery with the number of sponsors and colours on the car, certainly not a clean car like Jack Daniels where the smaller sponsors have to conform to the white and black. |

Teams usually sell specific parts for signage. So those in-car places would have been paid for by Red Rooster. If other sponsors wanted them, they should have paid faster

There was other signage in the pit garage and interior of the car that was totally Red Rooster, or Xbox 360, no Sprint Gas at all, if you didnt know better you would think they were the primary sponsor!
Not to mention that they had their fare share of TV cameras covering Skaife's return! |
