With Chaz re-signing for two years at Prodrive, the silly season only really waits on Fabian to see how sane or silly it all gets.

Its not officially shared anywhere, presumably another embargo broken. Someone will get sick of them doing that soon!

Mr Percat, Mr Reynolds, Mr Coulthard & Mr Moffat are all apparenty putting the feelers out for season 2016.. there is a while to go yet before we have a definitive list

Also says that Mr. Slade is out of contract at the end of the year too. A possible shoe in at Tekno if they become a two car team?

You might argue that Mr Slade has underperformed at WP, compared to the main WP warriors anyway... is it a challenge with a customer car, or is there something missing?

Bathurst winner Chaz Mostert signs two-year deal with Prodrive Australia

appears to have been part of the endurance drivers announcment

Quote:
The Supercars’ silly season had already started with Mostert in the sights of rival teams, before Prodrive boss team Tim Edwards revealed the hottest young driver in the sport will be driving alongside Mark Winterbottom for at least another two years.

“The can try and sign him if they like,’’ Edwards said.


“But he won’t be going anywhere because we have taken up a two-year option on him. Chaz is a super-talented driver and we locked him up earlier this year. He is a kid we have helped develop and we want him here and we want him here for a long time.’’

The signing would suggest that PRA may have a new sponsorship package in the wings. $500k a season for Mr Mostert (as reported) is not insignificant...

Half of what Lowndes was getting at 00 Motorsport in the early 2000's.

But a good paycheck nonetheless.

So.. With Mr Slade's SCAR deal apparently up for renewal at season's end, and not tpo much pace forthcoming from the #47 on a consistent basis, you just wonder whether Mr Percat might just return to the WP mothership next season & beyond...

I think Fabs is happy with Brad and the good ol' boys at Albury. I don't think Tim Slade won't be in the SCAR car for next year. A possible swap between Slade and Percat and all is forgiven about last year being dropped from WP?

He didn't really get dropped from WP, James Rosenberg didn't continue funding the entry and handed his REC back.

Tekno Close To Driver Decision...

Story goes there are 2 serious contenders.. Mr Coulthard & Mr Percat. One or other may have even already signed. Or not

I thought Mr Percat was contracted to LDM for two seasons.

Either way, it is likely that Holden will appear on the car again once the factory Maclaren driver has departed

Only 26 Rec's for 2016. Which means no second car for Team Penske.

Was reported as this on Newscorps website.
Also confirmed is that next year’s V8 Supercars grid will be capped at 26 cars, growing from the 25-car grid that is currently contesting the 2015 season.

Depends on the contractual performance clauses perhaps... you might imagine that Tekno could pay a little better than the team Mr Whincup reckons has a budget of ".. one and a half grand.. for the year"
