- James Courtney to DJR to replace Davison
- Alex Davison and Irwin Tools to SBR to replace Courtney and Jeld-Wen

Red Bull is out of the picture for KRT. And Paul Morris can be wiped off the PMM list ;D

I thought FRSR have confirmed already that they are not running next season? I could be wrong...

And PMM could be looking at turning the #69 car into a 'Star Car', where OS talent can come in for a race or two. Would be interesting...

I've been way out of the silly season loop lately, how much of this is true and what is still speculation? Whats happening with KRT and Perkins

Where does the Villeneuve thing stand? I wonder if that pulls off as a deal...

	Go Tasman Motorsport! Could it get simpler than that?

On another note, FPR's 2009 livery will be revealed tomorrow... with FG falcons!
