Interesting case re the value TV rights, big deal eh, quote:
The outcome is likely to affect the prices paid for broadcast rights negotiations due to startin the next three years, including the rights for V8 Supercars, A-League soccer, cricket and the Australian Open tennis.

As you said: Big  ing deal!!!! |
I must say, what's happening with the TV rights is another story and one that I myself have been watching with interest. However my comments where more direct at how desparate GTR is to know the who, where, what and why. The music will stop soon and those seats will get filled one way or another, it's just a matter of time. Let these people have some holidays as well.
I noticed this on Holdworth the other night, and by the looks of things this was filmed some time ago, but probably for contractual reasons they could do anything, or good old Fox Sports is planning to drip feed us over the coming weeks.

I really can't see how LDM wont finish last even in they recruited Jamie

Fair point. I still don't see though how LDM are in any position to choose rookies over experience at this stage of their development.

If the stories are correct, and the team has been unable to source a replacement title sponsor that isnt connected to a driver selection... this is how such events occur.
Wonder if the WP chassis is for sale, or if they plan on running it in Fujitsu?

While V8 Supercars is yet to announce beer rights for the 2012 Championship,

this would suggest that XXXX is gone, or at least under consideration

The team will always have back up title sponsors in Autobarn/Autopro. Besides bringing money to a ride was exactly what bargs did with #14 last year. Can Taz bring that sort of cash (to finish last every race), can he?
I don't know if I am insinuating so much that he cant as much as I am asking what's the point? That goes for anyone prepared to pay for the #30 drive.

According to a later comment it is "not work related", so who knows

He probably just deleted it to stop people asking him about it.
That is, if it's really got nothing to do with 2012 employment.

Interesting that the Jim Beam racing website is now promoting it's drivers -17 Steven Johnson & 12 Dean Fiore. No mention of Moff or No18 - those Nortons rumours are starting to look interesting.

techincally djr are 17 & 18

Bottle-O livery, nice evolution and you can imagine the otherFPR cars will be the same in their respective colours:
also now i'm cynical but when they revealed the Trading post car of Davo at Homebush 2010 they had question maks, the same number of them as letters in "Davison". on this they have "A.Driver" with A.Davo on the market and with A.D being Alex's initials it would have "A.Davison" on the window could just be putting 2 & 2 and getting 5 but interesting as FPR are into those type of clues.
