Sure did. Garry Rogers said he still been talking to Chrysler and Chrysler said that they haven't spoken to him in 12 months. Go figure.

In other news, It's official David Reynolds is a girl

Theyve been talking, no matter what chysler says.

This would make me both sad and disappointed. I would want to support my make but i dont want to follow T8 - V8 supercars already try to force everything about them on me already - I cant wait for Nissan to win a race, then V8 supercars can do an article on how T8 suspension helped win the race.

If toyota were to join they would run a 2 car team and go with one of the lower budgeted teams DJR or LDM - and would buy them out so they can run the team the way they want and put there own experienced tech guys in, even go as far as there own factory drivers. It's just how Toyota rolls.

Good points you have there, but... Haha.

The way I see it, Toyota are looking at getting together with the best team. Why? The best team posseses the best personel, engineering, success rate etc. Virtualy guaranteeing Toyota success.

Why bother with an after thought?

That's right, I don't want Toyota at T8. Plus Holden wouldn't be stupid enough to let them go. The only teams I see a new make going to would be DJR, GRM and possibly Tekno. I also wouldn't be supprised to see a couple more Altimas on the grid next year.

Hey hey, I'm not saying its going to happen, but its what iv heard, that Toyota and T8 are talking.

Holden would be stupid to not throw more cash at T8 if that's what it takes to keep them in Commodores.

...but having said that also.... Haha

New manufacturers would be stupid to not chase a deal with the best team.

I mean, if you were hyundai (god forbid) and you wanted to v8 supercar racing, as if you wouldnt chase triple 8 or the like. Why waste your time with djr tekno ldm d'alberto? lol

My point is that toyota wouldn't do chase T8 - every form of motorsport they have ever competed in with the exception of Nascar (which isn't really motorsport anyway) they have done things there way and wanted at least one of their drivers in the seat. They wouldn't go after a team they would have 0 say in.

Holden would drop Dalberto and Ingal from the Walkingshaw shed to put more $ in T8's pocket.

Ok you've made your point and I have made mine.

Chaz Mostert 5th in fourth practice... Only practice, but damn. He's going to be the next Ambrose.

I hope not. He was the biggest wanker to ever sit in a V8Supercar. They say Skaife was arrogant but he has nothing on that cock.
But yeah Chaz is doing exceptionally well, I think DJR will have to get another good driver because he is making Blanchard look so average it's not funny.

Haha i was more thinking track performance wise, my bad! Could you imagine? Rocks up to bathurst, slams it on pole...

Actually it is funny, coz i was thinking the same thing. Chaz stomped Blanchard at 'Barbs, same thing is happening again. Worst thing is how much more seat time Blanchard has had in the car of the now over Chaz.

To us, as arm chair experts, its not looking good for Tim.

They should have kept Owen, he had speed in the rounds where he had the right equipment.......
But Blanchard was grabbed for the sponsor dollors.

anyhow..
