The fourth rec would have been to run Randle full time. Lee was our regardless unfortunately.

[Mr Ree]

What is the thought process behind dropping back to a 3 car team? I always presumed that the added costs to run a 3 car team over a 2 car team were far bigger than the added costs to run a 4 car team, given you still need the extra car transporters, and crew etc

I feel sorry for Lee, but at least he has had 15 years in the game

Unavailability of a REC causing the drop back to 3 car team. If Prodrive had sourced a 4th REC they would have run Randle.

I'd think logistically 4 cars is nicer than 3. Essentially 2x 2 car teams, works out nicely for trucks, garages etc.

and announced this morning that Grove has bought into the team.

Interesting - but makes sense, they love their racing.

One could conclude that the Kelly's are either a) in need of cash, or b) looking to exit the sport. Be interesting to see what happens with them over the next year or so.

[St00ge]

I think they just rather spend other people's money than their own.

[Bob Vegana.]

I reckon given how poorly the Nissan thing went for what they would've hit their backers up for to do it, they'd have had a nice slush fund to play with once it was over with.

Current supercarz just shows what publicity can do in promoting fantasy sport. Sure the drivers are good but that's it, the rest of it basically involves a company leaching off the public purse via State govmints allocating sport money to a commercial enterprise. As long as the punters are happy who cares?

[StupidFlanders]

Not me.

All to be revealed tomorrow morning

[FLI355]

Just about the worst kept secret ever.
