Michael Patrizi linked to V8 return with Tekno

Michael Patrizi could make a return to the V8 Supercars Championship with Tekno Autosport.

The West Australian driver has been mentioned as a possible driver in the newly-expanded Tekno team, led by owner/driver Jonathon Webb.

Webb’s team has grown to two cars for 2012, leasing a Racing Entitlements Contract from Paul Morris Motorsport.

The team has also switched to Triple Eight Race Engineering-built Holden Commodore VEs.

Webb says that Patrizi is “in the mix” for the sort-after drive after serious discussions with reigning Development Series champion Andrew Thompson broke down.

Must say I am disappointed with this switch of camps too.

While I understand the business reasons why, from a Ford Racing supporter perspective it’s a shame to see Webb off to the dark side. He was one of the more successful 'new kids' in the main game scene IMO. Coming from the support network of the DJR family (like Courtney) makes it even less palatable.

Oh well as they say..onward and (hopefully) upward!

And did i hear a rumour that Maintyre has picked up a seat with GRM
He did a great job with the Giz last year, so loss of another potential winner for Ford
Webb moving over hurts, I believe its to et a closer tie to 888
