The main thing is let us hope that she is allowed to speak freely, without bringing V8 Supercars into disrepute.

There is no issue around being able to speak freely.

We do it here (mostly) all the time

But the honesty shown by recognising a desire for things to happen quicker than the high profile owner might expect, and recognising the need for some kind of coping mechanism for that disparity in results v's expectations sounds like someone who is actually a realist about future expectations

I am sure things will be said in the heat of battle, when a 'wrong' requires immediate gratification, and the pit lane reporters will likely play to this to sexy up a story..

If it improves the show, and nobody gets hurt, then who cares?

I actually miss some of the insight from Mr Jones & Mr Jones, its like #7 doesnt love them any more, not camping in their shed on race weekends to get a quotable quote from one of the brothers...

Although, I heard a whisper that SVG (before his leaving the team obviously) wasn't going to be receiving any sort of freebie courtesy car.

That's a pretty old pic though. Sladey might have his own AMG in the mail. Surely he'd get one if Holdsworth got one..

Brad still seems to get on screen a reasonable amount. Kim has been nowhere near as noisy for some years now.

Used to be hilarious seeing him unhappy about something in pit lane, chasing after the 7 crew or waving them down so he could have a moan on camera.

7 never camped in his shed - he chased them.

Funny thing was that in many of his moans he turned out to be incorrect about the rules - you're right though, it definitely added to the colour.

Mr Rogers doesn't complain as much as he used to.

Either he's stopped caring, or they've told him to put a sock in it.

10 years ago tonite... a band of diehards were glued firmly to their computer screens, on the SBR website no less, as pictures and announcements were released confirming that Mr Russell Ingall shall be joining SBR & Caltex in car #9 in season 2003 and beyond....

It would be nice to have something like that to look forward to again... *sigh*

Loaned as a drive car... ?

Happens quite a lot, Subaru loans a number of cars to the Parramatta Eels NRL club, in return for signage and branding opportunities...

As do the cowboys players do up here. You see players rockin around only in toyota branded models like corollas, rav 4's and others as part of their contracts. And in turn toyota gets to back one of the best attaking teams in the comp. And have sensible drivers behind the wheel (i would know one time i tried to race one of the players, who didnt bother.) Seeing that a toyota won the top award for best car with their 86 in alot of car reviews, maybe this will be the year of the cowboys.
