V8 Supercars Silly Season

[Falcon500]

Well when youve got your own team with Daddy paying the sponsorship bills, would you step down?

Good point hed have to notice his peformances have been dropping off since the group A and super tourer days (from first to last....) although granted he had the theoretically best car at the time and also at the time had one of the biggest budgets in those days (dads money plus coke a colas seemingly endless supply of money)...

...except that Morris doesn't want to really sponsor his Dad's business anymore.

...because he has sponsorship from Super Cheap next season...

Lol I like their marketing stratergy just jump from team to team in the hope we find a winner.

Its really sad to say the most sucsess they ever had was by sponsering steve ellery. A regular top 10 and podiums at the enduros AND a konica champion and runner up are not bad pickings especially when Ellery was underpaid for his effort.

rick kelly is moving to america to suck arse in nascar or some crap

but from what i've heard he WONT be in the v8supercars next year.


thank god for that

Yeah right. Ambrose announced maybe 9-10 months early that he was moving to NASCAR, and had several tests and training simulations before finally signing a deal. Basically every 2007 season is over, and 2008 preparations well underway. Unless Rick has maybe $20m worth of Daddy's money, he wont be going anywhere next year. He'll still be with his parents team.

yeah thats just what i've heard tho


if he randdomily moves to ford next season i think i will commit suicide

i dont think his very popular cos his such a prick


go ford in 08 xD

[Falcon500]

Well thats the first ive heard of that?

I wouldent doubt Ricks ability to sponge money off his parents but i seriously doubt hed have the guts to move to america. Also hes in a very comfterble position atm why move?

[fpv_gtho]

The rumour has been around for maybe a month or so. Dating back to the final round at least. The seasons done and dusted though, and its faded away which can only mean it was totally groundless. At least for 2008.

There alot of bs storys floating around pit lane every year. Its hard to sell a copy of auto action at this time of year without tall storys and dramatic endings.
