or maybe the Bundy cash and driver will go to LDR with a greater tie in at WP. With all the rumours and innuendo around LDR and what their plans are next year Stranger things have happened...

Because 'technically' the backing wouldn't be going to the factory HRT squad, it'd be going to the Walkinshaw Racing entry.

about purchasing the current #39 chassis that currently runs at PMM to replace the existing chassis they currently use, rather then some kind of lease deal or tie-up. It's T8 car and Luffy has had more experience with T8 machines in the recent past (DJR)....if he stays....of-course. |

Yet one of the Bundy cars had Holden window banners at Bathurst last year.....and for the whole season of 2009.

Reynolds To Kelly Racing in 2012
Again. Or is that Still. Any reason why this mob has to keep putting out direct releases and leaks thru Speedcafe to confirm an apparently contracted driver is staying where he has allegedly signed for season 2012? It was once said that if you say something over and over again, you eventually come to believe it. Nobody else does though... Interesting media strategies... and arguably may not do much for this squads 2013 prospects with this driver |

maybe they're being very forward in the defence of their arrangement, and given the news hounds continually speculate, feel they need to repeat themselves.

If you remember back to last year, BJR were talking about their lengthy deal with Trading Post to anyone who would listen towards the back end of the year, and yet that brand ran away to do a half price deal at FPR... All is not what it appears. Again. |

So Ingall is "definitely" not at PMM now: Speedcafe Story
More surprising is Morris' comments on who he is looking at for his replacement: Quote:

Interestingly, on the Jack Daniels cars, Tex Onsite, a personal sponsor of Mr Russell, appears on his entry, while Barker Trailers, a long time affiliate of Mr O.Kelly appears on his entry. |

Well could we see a swap between Walkinshaw and PMM? Courtney to move back to a Queensland team while we see Fabian go to the vacant HRT seat and Ingall moves to the third WP car?

Razor Paul may have a lot of money but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be willing to pay that much for a driver.

Sounds like it, otherwise they would be quietly sending legal letters to RNR/FPR rather than issuing press releases.

Also, after watching the battle between Reynolds and Todd Kelly and listening to the commentary talk about Rick's reaction to it all in the pits. Could Reynolds find himself a free agent after this weekend? |

What was that old saying about handshake agreements? Not worth the paper they are written on? Given that Mr Reynolds is something of a shining star in an otherwise workman like Kelly Racing squad, and the posturing of Mr Crennan over the whole Reynolds contract thing... perhaps Kelly Racing are waiting for a 2012 budget contribution from FPR/RNR to get the whole shebang nailed down... Maybe... |

And I really hope they aren't holding out their hands for a payout of a 'handshake' contract. Also would RNR/FPR bother paying compo to KR if they can have someone like Fabian Coulthard without strings after Walkinshaw discard him for Ingall/Supercheap dollars? |
