Dick Sells Half??

Used Car · 10 Oct 2007, 00:34 (Ref:2036390)

In Auto Fiction today is a story that old Dick has sold half his racing team to John Marshall.

Go Dick

Maybe now you can start paying your boys each week.

Peak Revs · 10 Oct 2007, 00:58 (Ref:2036403)

Here we go again, the same old rumour resurfaces.

Used Car · 10 Oct 2007, 01:09 (Ref:2036405)

Its in Auto Fiction, so do you really expect it to be true?

EDA82 · 10 Oct 2007, 01:26 (Ref:2036413)

Well, since Dick himself is quoted in the article confirming Marshall's involvement, why wouldn't it be true?

TSR · 10 Oct 2007, 01:28 (Ref:2036415)

Will be interesting to see what the outcome of AF story will be.

Used Car · 10 Oct 2007, 01:33 (Ref:2036418)

The truth in question is not so much if a deal is done, but that 50% is the right number

Dick was also quoted as saying some time ago that there was goiing to be noone else involved with the team when this rumour first surfaced.

DAVID PATERSON · 10 Oct 2007, 02:51 (Ref:2036465)

I remember Dick categorically ruling out any partial or full sale of DJR.

Pro Racer · 10 Oct 2007, 03:12 (Ref:2036475)

i don't know if i believe it so i will wait until it is official, but if it is true as long as Dick, Jnr and the name DJR is around i am happy.

glenn_a · 10 Oct 2007, 05:24 (Ref:2036526)

On the weekend I did notice a small motor home parked in the pits next to the DJR transporter, across the front of it No Limits Group. Interesting.......(I know for a fact that it belonged to DJR or with the DJR group because a mate had to do some work on it).
So how do you explain the Signage?

Was that the metallic green/gold one??

The powder room suggests this deal has happened... but not for 50%...

... the number is reported to be 40%, to send a message to TEGA that the control of the team, and the 2x L2 franchise licence slots remains with the DJR management team.

Question now is whether Mr M.Marshall may become a pilot here...whether in the main game, or in the development series

Sultan · 10 Oct 2007, 08:08 (Ref:2036587)

I thought DJ had L1 franchises?

Does that mean Marshall is driving?

**GTRMagic** · 10 Oct 2007, 08:34 (Ref:2036607)

DJR does... a slip of the mobile... oops...

glenn_a · 10 Oct 2007, 09:54 (Ref:2036685)

Sure was GTRMagic

On the Monday as I returned to the circuit for some laps in the Magna, the green meanie almost ran me over! What an awesome machine.

glenn_a · 10 Oct 2007, 10:14 (Ref:2036701)

lol. But did it beat the magna on a hot lap?

With all the traffic... garbage trucks and a few caravans... an 18 minute laptime was my best

glenn_a · 10 Oct 2007, 10:20 (Ref:2036706)

lol GTRMagic.

glenn_a · 10 Oct 2007, 10:20 (Ref:2036708)

18 minutes thats about as fast as granny with the shopping

We were stopped about half that time to let the people wanting to go round the other way to get thru the Chase. Annoying.

MPA · 10 Oct 2007, 10:33 (Ref:2036716)

So what's half a dick worth these days?

Sweet Corn · 10 Oct 2007, 11:55 (Ref:2036797)

Whatever happens Steve the Meister Driver is the key to the teams future if Marcus Marshall replaces Davo Steve will train him to the same level he did with Davo and Davo should get a gig with another team because he has benefited from Steves training

Luke Plaizier · 10 Oct 2007, 12:43 (Ref:2036830)

Mate, you won't catch me driving anti-clockwise on that track the day after the race.

Going clockwise is the only way to get around, spend time looking at what you want to look at, and not burn your clutch out moving a car length at a time going up mountain straight and up the cutting.

You can come back any other time of the year and go the right way. That's definitely not the day to do it.

You're kidding right?

No disprespect to Steve (as I think he's been doing a brilliant & worthy job this year), but Jr did not have to 'train' Will to his level - He was already above & beyond that....

Phase3 · 11 Oct 2007, 00:17 (Ref:2037342)

This would explain the last minute pull out of the marshalls buying PWR, obviously 40% of DJR is a more attractive proposition than all of PWR
