Shhhhhh.......You know who you are !!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 18y 3m 22d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 20/02/07 10:33 AM Share Posted 20/02/07 10:33 AM Probably just a ploy to take the heat off. What better way to tell the other teams that the issue of ownership has been addressed by staging a fake ban, then reversing it because it has all been resolved, cough, cough .The Toll/HSV cheating has become so brazen that next well see them awarded wins without having to race.Oh well, you know the old Expensive Daewoo motorsport saying, cheat on Sunday, lie on Monday.

I knew when he took over HRT a while back that there'd be trouble.A few years ago when he was involved with one of the lower F1 teams there was some form of a fracas which ended up being heard at the FIA Appeals court in Paris. I remember the judge describing old Tom as being an "unscrupulous", "shady" and "unreliable" witness who's business practices "left a lot to be desired". He had a habit of accumulating debts, ( Cosworth being a prime example)transferring the assets to another company then bankrupting and liquidating the first one to avoid having to pay up. Must admit, I did have a smile on my face when I heard he bought into HRT. Much as I dislike Skaifey, I feel sorry for him having to be involved with someone like Wankinshaw.

utexr6t Member 69 Member For: 19y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 22/02/07 08:59 AM Share Posted 22/02/07 08:59 AM Anybody heard any more on this. I was told today that while the TollHSV team have been reinstated, that the HRT team have been given a 4 meeting ban effective as of the first round. This came from someone working on the engineering for the Adelaide event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjunior99 Member 4,359 Member For: 22y 3d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 22/02/07 09:12 AM Share Posted 22/02/07 09:12 AM I just checked on the www.v8supercars.com.au website and they still say that they will be taking their place on the starting grid in a couple of weeks, so if there are new developments, they haven't been put up there yet.
