Silly Season 2024

[skaifeman]

Actually surprised this hasn't been started yet... we usually get it going in Feb or so!

Both ADP and Davo are accounted for in 2024, with DJR:

DJR, 888 and Erebus are now all locked in.
I'm guessing end of 2024 is when a few will come off contract - I think all of the above will be (Feeney, SVG, Davo, ADP, Brown & Kostecki). 2025 is when things will get a shake-up.

Is there anything with the talk of another overseas round outside of NZ?

Unless we have a repeat of the Bolshevik Revolution, I will still be running the V8 Central Fantasy League in 2024.

Was disappointed to find out there was a race track in Taupo AFTER I left in my 2011 visit... love Taupo... a sail on the lake is a must! a great spot.

Good excuse to go back 

The only downside with Taupo Motorsport Park is it's very flat with no large banks for general admission viewing (QR is awesome).
I imagine there would need to be plenty of grandstands set up.
Maybe Tony Quinn will get this place set up better?

If McLaughlin was to ever return, it seems he's got his allegiances: Fair enough.

Apparently 2024 is shells final year

WAU to form a super team? (Although I'd argue when they brought Percat over it was, how wrong I was).

If true, what's happening over at Tickford? Frosty walks, Chaz was happy to leave, now Waters...?

Also looking like Pye is on the move.
And those on the Speedcafe comments (I was having a read whilst the forum was down), suggest that the brass in Detroit have already axed Supercars (even pre all this parity debacle).

Be great to see Cam and Chaz reunited again so they can take each other out of races

[Troy01505]

2024 will see them still chasing parity

Sooo does SVG leave a year early and Waters to 888 look likely?

Story going around that Shane has been given permission to leave at the end of this season.
I don't know if he will be going by himself or taking JD with him.
The door would certainly be open for Waters if he fits 888's ethics in '24.

Confirmed by Jamie Whincup. he would release SVG to an American drive.

Waters has probably already emailed his resume!

Is he good enough for 888 though? 

It's hilarious reading the bowtie boys posts, that all the Ford drivers are just not good enough this season. Yet when the possibility of the best seat in Supercars opens up. Their first thoughts go to a Ford driver.
