Yes, I can't believe Supercars are spending millions on testing when there was never an issue...

There is/was definitely a parity issue. No argument there. It just wasn't a parity issue between Ford & Chevy. It was between Coke & Red Bull, and the rest of the competition. Those 2 teams found a way to make these pigs of cars work, whereas none of the other teams had uncovered the method for turning s**t into diamonds.

Erebus and their s**t together a lot more than 888 did.

For all that, SVG still would have been leading the Championship going into Adelaide, if he weren't stripped of the race 1 win in Newcastle (due to having the driver cooling system mounted on the wrong side of the car).

Having said that, Kostecki was clearly the best driver in the field this year, and it would have been daylight robbery if he hadn't won the Championship.

Kostecki running the #1 next season. Good to see it back.

Never understood why a champion wouldn’t wear the #1 the following season.
Max seems to have bought it back into fashion.

Van Gisbergen’s four-point plan to fix Supercars

SHANE van Gisbergen has pleaded with Supercars to listen to its fans as he moves on to the next chapter of his racing career.Van Gisbergen spoke frankly but fairly about the category on the last

I bet he couldn't wait to say that. They should stick to hard racing tyres.

 

[largebus]

Wow, Kostecki likely out at Erebus. Terrible look for the sport if the champ doesn't even defend his title.

What a debacle.

It's absolutely Ryan.

Catastrophic for the code. Gizzy and the reigning champ gone at the same time. Especially this close to the season.

There are a few issues with Supercars and getting star power is one of them.

Well, maybe not..

Makes the season fascinating on who might win for a change.

Barry must be one hell of a campaigner to have driven away all those drivers.

Had heard Brodie had given Betty an ultimatum between him or Barry. Didn’t end well.

 

[BomberFan355]

Well thats s**t, Barry must be bad if you're walking out with no drive to go to.

He's got some Nascar drives lined up but you'd assume his priority was to stay in Aus.

Ummmmm

 

[BomberFan355]

Who knows what’s really going on. Strange.

That’s just Erebus making it sound like it’s brodies issue, not theirs.

If a team is forced to choose between a driver and a manager who has recruited team members, and taken the team to the top, the choice is simple.
I have no doubt that the driver is talented, but the team comes first.

It's not one driver, it's both of them - don't forget that Will Brown went to 888 racing, and you've got rocks in your head if you think getting away from Barry wasn't one of the motivating factors in that decision.

 

[BomberFan355]

Having listened to the Rev Limiter podcast, it sounds like it may be a personal reasons/mental health thing with Brodie. I could be wrong but that's feeling i got.

 

[Jatz]

There's zero chance he'll drive the rest of the season in that car/team.

He's as good as gone, no matter what media statement they put out.

There's a pretty common denominator when it comes to all of those drivers leaving...
