dont be so sure pete

you would still have to tear a contract up there as well

so it could be any team 9or even a development team (i understand a drive is about to become available

Mattracer · 6 Jan 2005, 10:48 (Ref:1194385)

I'd like to see Cam McConville at HRT and Todd Kelly would do alright at CPR too.

Falcadore · 6 Jan 2005, 10:51 (Ref:1194387)

I'd like to see David Thexton in at HRT. With better equipment and someone to copy setups from he's times will tumble. He might even qualify mid-field.

Which is a damn sight better than the team number 2 car did at Bathurst.

There's always HYL again. Kurt Wimmer as of 2 days ago was wondering where he was going to get $300k from.
As for the Dumbrell thing, it would be cheaper to pay him out or offer him something else than to do the same with the other alternatives.

peckstar · 6 Jan 2005, 11:01 (Ref:1194396)

thats abit rough falc.

actually based on this year he would probably give skaifey a fair run in the championship

When it comes to driver salary, who pays the bills ?

Does Garth get payed by Holden, or by Kelly Motorsport ??

Im thinking that maybe Kelly Snr is looking at a very oddly balanced balance sheet for 2005 without a title sponsor, and if he can employ both his son's as race drivers, he saves considerable money on drivers (If Lowndes, Ambrose, Bright, Skaife are reportadly above $1 a year).

Im sure Rick and Todd would race for free if it meant Daddy's team benefitting, and then HRT is left to foot the $500,000?? bill for Garth Tanders services for 2005 ??

If you look at it financially, it might just make sense.

Falcadore · 6 Jan 2005, 11:12 (Ref:1194405)

Maybe - but HRT should be a bit less paranoid about their co-drivers is all I'm saying.

1200Datto27 · 6 Jan 2005, 11:24 (Ref:1194410)

Wasn't Crash holding off on signing for this year as he wanted a payrise, as he believed that he would become the No.1 driver for the team with Murph gone.

Mattracer · 6 Jan 2005, 11:28 (Ref:1194412)

Oh, you mean Crash Bandicoot???!!!

Raglanparade · 6 Jan 2005, 11:33 (Ref:1194415)

Where would the payrise come from though ?

Daddy or Holden ?

Nicholosophy · 6 Jan 2005, 14:28 (Ref:1194515)

I guess when it was all Kmart racing, things were rosier and Crash thought there might be a payrise in it.

Perhaps Crash and Toddler would drive for share of ownership?

Not a great move for either though...

When Kelly Motorsport Holdings becomes a second rising of TWRA, why wouldnt being lead driver or even the much unloved number two make some sense.... presuming these boys get their acts together!

That could be a good way to ensure that the engines don't blow up.

Since he'll never get far enough in the race without taking himself and a few others off to worry about the engine blowing up.

woodbine · 7 Jan 2005, 05:47 (Ref:1194956)

He'd make a perfect enduro partner for crash!

Not a chance in hell will you see Bright as #2 @ HRT.

More chance of you getting that gig. NO way in the world will Bright work for Skaife, BUT, if the ownership of the good ship(Titanic) HRT were to change hands during the off season then anything is possible

Of course Brighty would have to give back all those shiny new Falcons parked outside Team Britek in Dandenong.

pete55 · 7 Jan 2005, 08:44 (Ref:1195022)

Is Jason now driving a Typhoon?

resisturban · 7 Jan 2005, 10:39 (Ref:1195128)

No, just causing one

MHDT · 7 Jan 2005, 10:53 (Ref:1195138)

GTR was right, NYE 2004 would have been the perfect opportunity to unveil his 2005 strategy....imagine the publicity in the 'off season' for motorsport, AFL, NRL, etc...

Also a Believer · 8 Jan 2005, 05:08 (Ref:1195703)

my 20 cents worth

Bright to HRT and Team Dynamic to become brightek.

Headed by Kelly

1200Datto27 · 8 Jan 2005, 06:40 (Ref:1195720)

And Skaife to FPR?

Theres just as much of a chance of this happening as most of these other suggestions.

miss tmr · 8 Jan 2005, 07:20 (Ref:1195733)

Skaifey to FPR...

Ford wouldn't have Skaife in a fit. They did there market research years ago and didn't like what they saw.
