I would love to see Erebus fortunes improve, but not for any reson other than Betty, who has been a breath of fresh air amongst the Danes and Edwards of this world., |

All that had to be done was build two more Falcons, put the various stickers on and go racing up the front with van Gisbergen or Engel, plus Slade and Holdsworth... Yet now Matt Stone Racing is effectively the continuation of the Queensland team and Erebus is an unrelated team in Melbourne. It's all very odd! |

Can you explain whose fault it is then? I am of the understanding that Betty owns the team, does the hiring, and generally has things done to her satisfaction. Not sure who else could be blamed for taking a front-running championship team and moving it straight to the other end of the grid the very next season, and never really recovering from it.

It's a shame what has happened to the team since he took over, but yes they were in worse shape before he took over. He certainly bought in the money that was absolutely necessary. At least they now have the money to keep the team going, even if they have lost a lot of personnel. But he needs to find a way to keep enough people in the team, otherwise there is no point

Last year though, would've been a challenge for many - I know it would've been for me - as everyone lived under "one roof" for months on end, without any real "Barry breaks". I had a flatmate like that once. It got to a point that I either had to move out, or I was going to be growing giant-sized potatoes in the vege garden. |

I think T888 came to the 1/4 party by announcing Whincup and Dane were going to swap roles next year... JW as principal (as we already knew) and RD driving the #88 |

Motorsport.com are reporting an Engine tweak for the Holden teams this year, but Supercars say there is NO increase in engine Power. We will see.

Can anyone explain the difference between a Monster Energy drink can and a Monster Energy liveried car? Or a Monster Energy race suit? Or a Monster Energy hat?

Doesn't seem to be much excitement about his weekends activities at Symmons ? Support categories seem very ordinary, what are Super Trucks ?

The rest are used for purposes other than distribution of the product, but branded for promotional reasons? |

Very succinct and 100% spot on although I don't understand the reason for asking the question in the first place, it's not April 1st again is it?

Speedcafe mentions Red Bull sponsoring the series as a potential conflict (you're not allowed to hold a Red Bull can either). |

Yes, that's what it is. The rule has been in place for a very long time, nearly 20 years I'd say but was specific about applying to podium and media conferences. They've now expanded it to cover more instances of camera time with drivers. |

Other than the placement in corporate facilities and pourage rights providing product sales rather than commercial advertising?

They certainly get something out of the hospitality and I'm sure they are getting plenty of good money and exposure out of the series with their brand

Well, that makes sense. As a punter on the couch, too far from most racetracks to be there on the weekends, I wouldn't have picked Red Bull as a series sponsor.

I wonder how they were able to persuade him. Maybe he's hungry for a comeback or just felt it would be nice to have another run around
