lol, just got a FB message from him

So if you are found strangled with an autographed SBR flag we have a suspect. Fark there are some halfwits out there.

[redbucket]

Hahahahaha.

I would have loved to see the reaction if it was someone like Hyundai/Kia that SBR were moving to!

I'm officially throwing my support behind Merc-SBR for next year. The Merc-SBR fan club already has its official song...

[<---cop]

Holy fuck.
Didn't actually realise that Stone Brothers were selling their licences!!!

Crazy scenes.

So an engine development program that would deter a manufacturer is no problem for a small private team to deal with? I am incredulous but good luck to them.

New drinking game- every time Crompton says 'Parity' this year you have to shoot yourself in the face.

Interesting. Article alludes to the fact engine development is already underway. Must have had a fair degree of confidence in this going ahead to spend the money, and/or the deal was done a while back and they've have just been waiting for the right time to make the announcement.........which leading into Bathurst with all it's publicity is probably about as good as timing can get.

"This is not a back flip – our position has not changed. Mercedes-Benz Australia has no plans to undertake any sales or marketing activities in conjunction with the series," Mr McCarthy told motoring.com.au.


I can't think of a way that Mercedes Australia can leverage any V8 supercar exposure.

So is there more to it than a new shell and motor? What am I missing? Should I expect epic pub arguments about how this is a C class with a cage?

Key phrases from Crompton include "Parity", "Throttle Percentage" and for Skaife to say "Its on for young and old" at least 3 times in a single race.......
