Quote from: AlbertM on Yesterday at 10:08:43 PMSpeaking of screwing the SO. I do wonder how do the other GM teams feel about the captain abandoning ship as it sinks.


They'll probably be happy to tell media they are the first 'GM' team home behind T8...just like Ford have done the last 4 years.

Seriously, GM fans showed great concern for DJR over 888's homecoming. None thought to think of the impact of the other GM teams that relied so heavily on 888.  Heaven help the GM team that takes over homologation duties. Not even 888 could get an answer out of GM on what the future holds.

I really like the WAU ones. I do wish the orange and blue wrapped a little more seamlessly on the bonnet. Just up on the sides of the bonnet to integrate it more. But I have a feeling Mobil 1 wanted (and paid for) the entire bonnet and wanted it to be completely black. Which is fair enough.

WAU revealed tonight. Pete always has a clean look. NGK returns, wish it was on the headlights!
I REALLY like how the white accent beside the front air dam replicates that of the road car.

Quote from: muz on Yesterday at 03:05:17 PMFair enough. I doubt they crawled, but we both need to sleep at night and if you want to see them crawling, they crawled! Haha.

To be honest, I don't care how 888 and Ford got back together. I just knew that it would trigger GM fans if I said it. I'm just having fun with it.   :)

I reckon Muz and I were doing the same, especially after Ford rolled out the red carpet (...and their missus) :D  :D.

I assume you mean had 888 not taken WAU's spot? Barry Ryan and Xiberras are staunch Chev fans from what I hear.
MSR would be a nice homecoming, I get the feeling Brad would go to the highest bidder, and going by most recent press releases Team18 would announce they're going to Ford before even Ford knew!

THE ARROW MOTORSPORT TEASES NEW MANUFACTURER, ANNOUNCES LAUNCH DATE

The Arrow Motorsport has today teased the identity of their third manufacturer in as many years while announcing the launch date for the team.



The Central Coast based team announced the launch date - Friday, 14/02/2025 - by way of yet another sneak peek. The image released depicts the unmistakeable tail lights of the Supercar, hinting that the team's 2024 partnership with luxury South Korean manufacturer Genesis may not have been the only time the team links with a brand from that country. In fact, it seems likely that the team has joined forces with the parent company of Genesis.

A shift in manufacturer is just another attempt for The Arrow Motorsport to return to the success the team has achieved in the past. After winning the Privateer Cup in 2008, the team has struggled to repeat that success ever since. 2017 saw a one-off return to that success with a second place in the overall standings, and winning the Tournament. However, the team has not replicated that outcome. 2024 was arguably one of the team's worst seasons, being the only team not to achieve a win. The only highlight was making it to the final knock-out round of the Tournament.

The launch will take place on Friday at the team's headquarters on the Central Coast. The new manufacturer will be confirmed along with the reveal of the team's liveries for 2025.

2017 Tournament Champions / 2022 Race 1 - Sydney Motorsport Park - Race Winner / 2022 Race 3 - Symmons Plains - Race Winner / 2022 Race 3 - Wanneroo - Race Winner / 2023 Race 1 - The Bend Motorsport Park - Race Winner / 2023 - Best Presented Team Winner

I wonder, given Ford wants to remain with 10 cars, that any of the other GM teams could have got the spot left by WAU.

They didn't crawl, they rang! And Ford listened 8) 8).
