If Penske want McLaughlin bad enough, I can see a straight swap with Pye being possible.

4 car 888 outfit next year perhaps? 2 888 redbulls and 2 stickered as HRT? Simon Mc saves the soon to be importer a few bucks and guarantees them 4 cars consistently fighting for wins week in week out. 888 get the merchandise sales that go with the HRT name. Not to mention the marketing of Lowndes 'back' in a HRT car... sort of. Sent from my GT-I9507 using Tapatalk |

If history has shown us anything, it's that Penske gives his drivers plenty of time to deliver results...and then some more. (unless your name was Kevin Cogan of course...) |

I think if Pye has a halfway reasonable year, he'll be back for 2017.

Ryan Story talks about Penske 2017
Is it just me or does it sound like Penske are coming up with reasons why not to re-sign Pye? |

Given the loyalty Penske teams have shown all their drivers (bar 1 or 2 only) in the past, giving them multiple years to perform, i find it highly unlikely they would turn Pye after this year, especially given all the effort they went to to get him in a car for this year.

Did they go to a lot of effort to get a second car for Pye, or just a second car? I'd suggest that they knew after last year that a two car team model is definitely a cleverer way to operate on many grounds. Despite the McLaughlin heading to Europe this weekend, there is word that a deal with Penske has already been agreed to...

What do people make of James Phelps performance on the last episode of Inside Supercars? Seemed unnecessarily combative during the discussion. When Fogarty and Newton were speaking, they were reasoned and interesting, not too much dogma

Everyone knows he's a flog, so I'm sitting here pretty confused as to what he actually brings to the show.

Yes, totally agree. They need to lose Phelps. I really enjoyed listening to normal Journalists.

Peckstar, it was stated by the team and widely reported that DJRTP's intention was just 1 car again in 2016. |

I get the NewsLimited connection, but he really doesn't add anything of value.

I agree, Phelps was out of order through that segment. Could have been a good one but was ruined. What a pest. |
