Stunning news, Winterbottom to drive for Team 18 next year.

[Bob Vegana.]

Was champion 3 years ago, now driving for a bottom-dweller.

Claiming that the new team will be some kind of really big effort and become one of the big teams though?
Even though he wasn't great this year neither was Mostert - was there anyone else about to take Frosty's spot at Tickford? I was expecting Frosty to keep his spot there before he jumped.

Irwin money, 888 bits. Depending on the engineering team they may well step forward.

Going to be another interesting V8sc weekend, I'm sure...

Here's a list of likely events:

-Inaccurate penalties applied to 888 closest rivals
-Inconsistent application of rules: one rule for 888, one rule for everyone else
-Was that a jump start by 888? Sure was, but that's okay as it's 888
-"rubbing's racing"... but only if done by 888. If you hit 888, expect a drive through penalty
-Spinning tyres in the pits? That's a big no no. Unless you're 888 then fuck it, rev it up as they drop the jack and leave the pits with the tyres smoking.

So i saw Murphy lapping the S5000 open wheeler on bookface in Newy yesterday.
Is this going to be a series that runs at all Supercar rounds or just a few or?

So basically the same stuff that went on with HDT and HRT?

I dunno, I'm sure it'll be a good race. Newcastle is a great track, it's just that V8SC still have a lot of explaining to do over last years race.

Last year's races were... last year.

Will be running on the Shannon's Nationals calendar alongside TCR at this point.

Well, will be an interesting race. Fabs has some pace so hopefully can assist Scotty

Still, other than the Lowndes contact penalty at the death, last year's stuff at Newcastle was a farce.

Bares no relevance to this year's outcome.

Let it go.

Coulthard's job was simple there. Take out #97. Urgh.

They just bought a ticket to the last 70 lap sprint race etc...
