Of course Morris was one of the best of that era and did a lot with the cars he had.
I don’t recall Morris being dropped. He withdrew from the drive post 9/11 as he had an ETCC round a week after (or before) the V8Supercar 1000 so didn’t want to risk it.

Remember the 2001 V8Supercar 1000 happened less than a month after 9/11

Indeed. I've got the Autosport report. It was only a week after F1 went to the US despite the disaster

Updating my own information on these cars:

Daisy - I have just found that Daisy was last used by Ben McCashney in the 2010 Development Series run by his own team. Ad on My105 has since expired, car wherabouts known.

Jones, Gurr, Porter, Macrow, Holdsworth, Wakefield all came through in and around that time and would be more familiar with those cars.

I peronsally feel like sometimes Morris gets thrown under the bus a bit. Yeah he had a year in V8s in 94 but we was mostly a super touring guy getting to grips with the cars, and some of the incidents he was involved in were just bad like (like the Gran Prix in 2003), but yeah a lot of the time he certainly didn't help himself (thinking Willowbank 2005). I think guys like Dumbrell should have known a lot better and with the amount of crashes that guy was involved in at that time, I don't think it's entirely fair to always point the finger at Morris.
Dont understand the reference to Dumbrell.

Yes please!

Oh, wait ... I have to pay the gas bill this week, so maybe next pension day.

I remember this car, but I don't think I knew about the reasons it was retired. Not surprising it worked so well when you see the names behind it.

Matt Neal drove with Morris in the Queensland 500 held on August 26 but 9/11 occurred 2 weeks after the Queensland 500 race and Matt Neal pulled out as Bathurst was 3 weeks after 9/11
