why no spot for the current fujitsu series champion, surely he has the runs on the board and a little bit of cash to come with it

Perhaps Mr Rogers thinks a little like Murph, that the 888 developed/run chassis' is a lot better than the others in both the main game and in the development series which has managed to make Mr Thompson look a bit better than his skills

That, and of course Mr McLaughlin & a couple of the other guys there were conveniently sponsored

Pic taken from today's final ride day for PMM at Norwell...



I guess that means that the car stickered as #49, reportedly on the way to Tekno, is still at PMM as of today

Unless PMM used the #69 that was used by Morris in the development series.

Webb Jnr or Snr mentioned somewhere within the last ouple of days that PMM had a final ride day and then the chassis would be on its way, and they already have PMM's ex-spare. I'm guessing the above is a pic of that final ride day.

Nothing. Normal programming as usual.
The DVS car used the tyre bank from car 55 for the test hence the #55 decals.
If FPR run 4 cars the new entry will share a boom with RNR.

Ingalls car still available...

Ingall's car is a T8 chassis, so LDM could still be getting it.

with Mr Hallam on his way to HRT, is there anyone left at MWR?

MWR is an ambiguous term in a v8 website

im assuming you mean Michael Waltrip Racing, in which case you can be confident that there are many people there still

[Axeman444]

its actually a motorsport website. Motorsport news followers would also be aware of where Mr Hallam has come from

And with Mr Coughlin gone also, there may be a lot of Indians left, but there are a lot less Chiefs

If the Nortons sponsorship of Moffat turns out to be true (And I think it will) I'm surprised they didn't keep 17 & 18 for the JBR cars and number Moffat's car 360 in line with the major sponsor. Opportunity missed ??
