John Bowe would certainly fit the bill of the brand attributes that Jack Daniels seek. He comes from Tasmania, so that must make him a Southerner! Just do those "Kimi-length thinks" before you respond to any question and speak a bit slower, and you'll fit in pearler, John. Last edited by Just Do It!; 28 Dec 2006 at 10:47. |

V8 driver, team and series announcements in store.
A fortnight after the conclusion of the 2006 V8 Supercar Championship Series, and already several announcements appear in the pipeline with several rumours firming up in the media this week. Fujtisu Racing looks set to announce Adam Macrow and Simon Wills as the joint drivers of the #26 BFII Falcon after Motorsport News Australia reported the move. This comes after a Crash.net Exclusive revealed that several drivers were being considered for the move shortly after the Caterpillar Grand Finale – Macrow revealed as one of the candidates. The same Australan magazine has also reported that Fabian Coulthard will become the full time driver of the #39 Team Sirromet Wines Commodore next year, after running in it during the 2006 season. Coulthard, a Holden Young Lion, will drive a VY Commodore for the majority of next year's championship before an update to a VE model at the end of the season. Dick Johnson Racing looks set to take to the 2007 championship with a new major backer after Australian News Corporation sources reported that Jim Beam is likely to replace Dick Johnson's companies as naming rights sponsor, going head to head in the championship with rival brand Jack Daniel's – which sponsors the Perkins Motorsport entries in both V8 leagues. In a move that is set to re-invigorate the Queensland based team, Steven Johnson and Will Davison now appear likely to both be on the grid next year. An official announcement is expected shortly. "We've been saved by the skin of our teeth," said Team Manager Steve Chalker to The Adelaide Advertiser "It's too early to say anything officially but we've done a deal that guarantees we will be on the grid next year. "We're not in a position to do anything just yet but early in the New Year we plan to have an official launch." Jim Beam has also been announced as official Bourbon sponsor of the championship, with an announcement today confirming that the company will become a major sponsor of the series and hold the rights to pour at all championship events, excluding the Bahrain championship round in 2007, starting with the Clipsal 500 Adelaide from March 1-4. |

i heard they will come on board the team not just one car or the other and that Britek would do the rally car, but that seems to have died off.

you cant lock in 24 Garh Walden Holden as that number does not belong to the franchise. the No 11 or the no 7 belongs to the franchise, so as a rsult you cant lock in larrys numbers either

You can change the number at the beginning of the year. If i'm not mistaken you apply for your numbers at beginning of year and if there is no conflict they are given to them. As far as i know the history of the number the team uses takes preference over anything else.

As far as I understand the system, the tyres associated with the Romano franchise need to be sent to Walden Motorsport and Larry should get the tyre bank of the ex. Larkham Level 1 franchise from TEGA which means the tyres have been stored and not used for over 12 months (if in fact they still exist).

Confirmed
Ford Performance Racing Media Release STEVE RICHARDS RETURNS TO FORD WITH FPR IN 2007 January 1, 2007 - Ford Performance Racing (FPR) is delighted to formally announce that highly experienced V8 Supercar driver Steve Richards will return to Ford in 2007 and has signed a long term contract to drive for the Prodrive team. Richards, 34, replaces Jason Bright who left the team at the completion of the 2006 season. Richards was the seventh placed driver in the 2006 Championship and has been a regular V8 Supercar contender for ten seasons. Richards has forged a solid reputation during this time for his uncompromising speed, technical knowledge and consistency. The new FPR Falcon driver's career has included no fewer than twelve Bathurst 1000 campaigns, with Richards racing to the top step of the Mount Panorama podium on two occasions in both 1998 & 1999. Richards' detailed motor racing resume also includes two second places and one third place finish at Bathurst, along with many successes in other motor racing categories including Super Touring, Super Speedway and Formula Ford. Richards is excited to be returning to Ford with the marque's major V8 Supercar team at this major point in the team's development. "It is terrific to be joining a team that is clearly on the rise following the speed that FPR displayed during the 2006 season. Mark Winterbottom's results in 2006 mirror FPR's and I am sure we can make a formidable combination that will continue developing FPR's front running form in 2007. It is a special time to be joining this team and I cant wait to get behind the wheel of the FPR Falcons at our first test day. There is no settling in period and the intention is to get the new season started on the pace with FPR at the Clipsal 500." According to FPR Commercial Director Rod Barrett, FPR has secured a major asset in Steve Richards for the next five years. "After more than 12 months of negotiations, FPR is absolutely thrilled to welcome Steve to the team as it heads towards its most important season yet in 2007. Steve will add great value to the team and is one of the most competitive and accomplished drivers in the series. We look forward to watching Steve and the team challenge for the V8 Supercar titles in 2007 - beginning with Adelaide in March." |

 At least it finally confirms the seat  So when will we see Todd Kelly announced into the lead JDR seat? And perhaps not Shane Price into the second seat?
