2019 supercars discussion. May contain spoilers.

So the Kelly's have been surprised by the positive fan reaction.

I'm not.

I'm not either, they've been in a neutral brand for 5 years trundling around mid pack and not upsetting anyone.

And I think fans realise this isn't really a choice.

The business of racing as a team is slightly.different to driver defections who might have a choice.

Running T8 commondores isn't really a sound business move


I think Kelly's will shock this coming season.

With the further limiting of engineering potential, it's going to be interesting to see the pit lane order come the end of the season.

Yep.

Running the same equipment as the homologating team that has a monopoly mandate ensures you will never be the top Holden team.

If you really want to be able to Beat T8 (or DJRTP) the only option is Mustang.

At least with Mustang there's shared technical data.

It's going to be weird supporting KR. Like out-of-body experience weird.

I do genuinely hope their venture into Ford and Mustang territory is a successful one. The more Mustangs challenging for wins the better.

Commodore gone in 2020. Will be interesting to see how long they keep using it.

Holden said they'll support ZB on track till 2021.

Gm on the other hand wouldn't comment on how much longer they'll support Holden.....

Well it seemed like fgx stayed on track for about a decade after its demise haha...

I'm assuming a rebrand is coming. SC would be very worried if GM pull out of Oz.

Might be the best outcome for our top catergry in the end, its been hanging on by a thread.
Finally go to GT3 or something alike therefore we finally get more variety to make it sustainable.
Once our locals were gone our tribalism is challenged - we hang in there for our Brands and in the big picture I'm a Falcon man much like the opponents would be Commodore people (excl the opel)....thats our DNA.
This outcome is finally going to change it completely finally, final piece to the puzzle/story.
Oz racing has to embrace what our market has become, full of Imports.
Be interesting whats to become after '21.

Dane once poked fun at ford racing an old model car that was not in production. Someone shoukd remind him now of his comments and how T8 will be running a car that has no relevance to the market.
