I have a feeling Stanaway will be homeless next year.

As I mentioned in the SMP thread I think that was the right call to move Stanaway on - but surprised they are going for the Payne / Allen line-up - getting someone like Anton in would have perhaps been a better balance.

He already has a top line co-drive lined up if he fails to secure a full-time seat

It's been reported DJR are trying to get Brodie. Will be interesting who will fill his seat at Erebus given the drama this year.

Who in their right mind would want it?  Given all the drama with the team and the near constant turnover of drivers you would have to be desperate for a drive.

I know it's wishful thinking, but I would love to see Matt Payne and Brodie at DJR.

Anton hasn't lived up to his potential IMO and while I like Will, I don't think he fights hard enough when he doesn't have the best car. Reminds me too much of Fabs.

You thinking/figuring Anton is out or is Will retiring from full time driving?

I'd like ADP move to Grove to replace Stanaway. I'm not sold on Brodie at DJR. Brodie will have to vastly improve his appearance. Having said that, it might be the environment he needs.

look at every one of the S2/3 drivers. they would sell their mother for a main game seat. once in, provided they show something 'special', other doors will open

But it looks like Allen is moving there.  Is Anton going anywhere?

So with Allen reported to Grove, that leaves question marks over DJR and PremiAir. Both of which Kostecki has been linked with.
PremiAir feels more Kostecki, but as Albert says, a **** and a shave might do him wonders over at DJR.

Does AdP go back to Erebus, IIRC that didn't end sourly? Or does Hazelwood grab that drive?

Yeah, saw that today.

ADP will be a waste if he doesn't get a plum drive. If he's not moving to Grove, he's better off staying at DJR. ADP and Brodie with Will as enduro driver?

I cannot see any logic in DJR selecting ADP over Will Davison for 25.

But in the Excellence Awards thread for 2024, ADP has a 12-3 vote lead over Will. 

And those votes were cast by some of the greatest minds in Supercars!   ;D
