Guess he'll be at Avalon tonight:
If not, I'm backng the Krikke crew for the World Series next Monday 30 Dec:
Renault know they arent competitive, 2020 is the year the factory decide whether to go on in F1, a big payout for Dan is not what he needs.
Yeah I get that, personally I'm also a little p155ed that Daniel went to Renault. Would be like Dusty or De Goey goin to North, what's interesting is that Mikka can blatantly call (and rightly so) the Renault not a "good car" and Renault are like. meh. (Unless they have rebutted in some way that I don't know of)
And the industry is like tumbleweeds. Only in F1 eh!
Why would Renault deny it now, it was admitted during season 2019, couldnt find a link, so try this one: https://racer.com/2019/12/24/insight-where-the-f1-teams-stand-over-the-winter-part-2/
Agree with you, the move to Renault was not good, though made it easier to get up the morning after, Dan retires so off to bed.
I'm not saying Renault would deny it.
Not sure he is, pretty sure he’s just doing short people (speed cars) in nz, hasn’t been to Aus for 5 or 6 years.

It takes more than pure talent to get to F1 & Jack Doohan appears to have most of the ingredients - courtesy of Micks business* acumen, the kids giving it a red hot go:

Nup. If he was fair dinkum, he’d be racing bikes.
That's right. Someone in the Doohan family has shirked it. It'll manifest itself in sometime when he races under more pressure at the higher levels.

Ricky Brabec has become the first American to win the Dakar Rally. In doing so, he also handed Honda their first Dakar win in 31 years and broke KTMs 18 year stranglehold of the event.
Toby Price finished 3rd, his 5th podium in 6 starts.

Seemed like the terrain this year didn’t suit Toby as much, he had a pretty clean run other than losing a rear wheel at some stage that cost him on one stage.
One of the highest quality USA contingents at the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic this year.

Bad night at Warrnambool:
The American crashed heavily in his second heat race, and then blew an engine in the B-main, failing to qualify for the night one final.
Weeks out from the start of the NASCAR season beginning at Daytona, Larson will now need a miracle just to make Sunday night’s Classic finale.

Poor qualifying didn’t help.
Few $’s worth went west last night.
Probably a higher quality field tonight.
