Muz... 7:39 pm October 24th 2008
Here is my take on everything, from the news and speculation here is what I think may happen:
HRT: Garth Tander/Will Davison
HSVDT: Rick Kelly/ Paul Dumbrell
GRM: Lee Holdsworth/Michael Caruso
PMM: Russell Ingall/Paul Morris
BJR: Andrew Jones/Cameron McConville
TDR: Tony D’Alberto
JDR: Todd Kelly/Warren Luff
SBR: Shane van Gisbergen/Steve Owen
DJR: Jason Bargwanna/James Courtney
FPR: Mark Winterbottom/Steven Richards
FRSR: Steven Johnson
888: Craig Lowndes/Jamie Whincup
PCR: Fabian Coulthard/Alex Davison
SGR: Jason Richards/Greg Murphy
TKR: John McIntyre
Britek: Jason Bright/Marcus Marshall
Not too sure about my choice with Bargwanna, Luff or Johnson - also interesting to see what happens with this ‘30th Walden License’ - heard that Loadsman Racing may step up with Steve Owen, just rumor though

Maybe instead of SLR,Howard Racing could step up with Dean Canto.
Muz... 7:58 am October 26th 2008
Well Jamie confirmed in another topic that it will definitely be Johnson/Davison at DJR, I also believe that Alex Davison is going to surface within the silly season, and find quite a good drive for himself next year…watch his space!
Jordan 88(JWCR Spokesman) 9:42 am October 26th 2008
Muz look at this!!. : http://www.jamiewhincup.com.au/jc-to-djr-in-09/
And with it being JC and Stevie Johnson at DJR its easy to see that Will Davo will be at HRT in 09
Maybe u never know!!!!LOL

Troy Smolenaars 1:03 pm November 5th 2008
I have to say good luck to Will Davison in whatever he does, he is a talent given the right equipment.If he goes to the Red side then he will learn about the whole holden coroprate machine.
Good luck to all ford teams n drivers for the remaning 09 rounds.
