Yeah, I fear something radical has to happen for history not to repeat itself.

Seems good to me! However, lack of McLaughlin and Penske will be quite painful. Like them or not, they raise a profile of the whole championship quite much.

Seems to be going traction. Penske came , saw go t what he wanted, and is now going, also, I think you will see Roland step back and his Daughter and JW take more control.

Paul Morris and Ryan Story , can they work together?
Main Sponsor after Shell goes, Who knows.

If you mention Boost, that would mean a James Courtney hookup,
not Will D and Anton.

I would say it will be more of a Will D and Anton, with shell for another year.

Everyone is waiting on Gen 3 , will the stang go back to its true shape?
Has Roland secured Toyota ?

I wonder how much more development on the Peugeot will be carried out?

There seems to be a real silly season going on in Supercars land.

Plenty of driver, teams and REC movements going on.

How many cars will we have on the grid?

The full economic fallout from Covid won’t be felt until next year so that’s something to keep in mind regarding sponsors.

Word is Blanchard’s franchise is looking to move to a Mustang, wonder where that may fit?

Modern Kelly Krate? Although 3 is not a good number

Could only be Kelly's. Tickford running the maximum of 4 cars, and DJRTP won't run customer cars.

DJR might next year?

Except Phil Munday has reportedly sold the REC leased this year to Tickford to BJR to replace the Blanchard REC. So perhaps the Blanchard REC will end up at Tickford?

Also a suggestion from race.news, that despite having only completed the first of his 10-year deal, Reynolds could be on the move.

One would hope DJR remembers the mess running a bunch of customer cars ended them in last time...

I thought he was going it alone. A new shop was being prepared..

kittle · 18 Oct 2020, 23:10 (Ref:4011433)

Ok, so we know Boost will stay at Tickford, but what license are they using? Munday?

MSR want to run three cars, needs a REC

BJR needs a REC to run Jones

Supercars has 2 shelved REC's, will they sell them off?

MSR should stick to the 2 cars they have and get those drivers up to speed...

BJR doesn't need an REC to run Jones. Honestly, the occational display of talent just doesn't cut it any more. Stop trading on the family name, and let someone else have a crack.

Couple of more cars would be nice on the grid, but all in good time.

What mess? I thought they went pretty well. They just didn't have any top-line drivers, hence the various sponsors perhaps being not pleased at the results and not sticking around.

An extra Repco and/or Pirtek car could be a bit of a weapon!

Repco (NAPA Auto Parts) seem to have a few dollars to splash around, so could be the perfect replacement for Shell as naming rights sponsor.

People are referring to MSR, and what an abject disaster that was.

Scotty I think may be like Frosty was at FPR, or like Skaife at GMS, those drivers had an ability to extract speed out of an extreme setup, that nobody else could drive.

E.B · 20 Oct 2020, 03:33 (Ref:4011578)

I see Scotty Mac is saying he will be driving next year in Supercars for DJRTP..... unless it all changes! A bit of a non committal but I suppose he doesnt know, although that at least indicates Penske are staying in Supercars.... unless it changes.

So, apparently only Roger P knows and I guess that will be revealed at some stage after Scott's outing in Indycar at St Petes this weekend.

That wasn't a customer car though, that was just a car purchased "as-is" with the full knowledge that Team Penske does not provide technical support. A customer car in the vein of the Paul Morris Motorsport DJR-prepared Falcons, should do just fine!

Everything is as agreed to unless we change our minds.

What a delightfully nothing statement.

My understanding (and I don't profess to be a DJR expert here) from the episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast with Ryan Story is that DJR were out of cash after this effort. But I could be conflating periods here.

Owch, that's a bit of a kicker if true.

Perhaps Brodie steps into the fold? https://www.supercars.com/videos/cha...e/?cat=default

Surely ADP and Will Brown would be the Erebus drivers if Reynolds departs (to BJR?)

Why in the world would Reynolds depart to BJR
He has a 10 year deal and wow if you were going to go anywhere I would have thought BJR would be one of the last places you would want to end up....

unless he has no choice?
