Owner/driver Paul Morris will compete at every championship round in the team’s lead VZ Commodore. With significant developments over a three year period contributing to the progression of Morris up the V8 ladder, 2006 looks to be another solid year for the former round winner. However the upgrade to two cars could also hurt the team in terms of strategy and car configuration over a race weekend – something the team hasn’t dealt with before.
One couldn’t expect Gurr or Coulthard to finish in the top thirty of the championship, with the second car being shared between both drivers, there is only half the opportunity for either to gain points over the year. 2006 should be about developing skills and circuit knowledge in a V8 to better prepare them for other opportunities in 2007.
Final Word
Morris: Occasional appearances in the top ten would be welcome.
Gurr/Coulthard: To feature this car in the top twenty throughout the year would be a solid result.
Super Cheap Auto Racing
Cameron McConville (#50 VZ Commodore), Greg Murphy (#51 VZ Commodore)
As one of Holden’s ‘big three’ team’s, Super Cheap Auto Racing has been overshadowed by its higher regarded flagship teams. With the absence of Paul Weel Racing operating the team in 2006, SCAR will take it to the top teams in a different managerial form than in 2005, and will have a new driver in its midst.
Cameron McConville is that new driver, and with two seasons with Garry Rogers Motorsport under his belt, Cam will enter a team known for its strong performances in Supercar racing. He will be on equal footing with regular Greg Murphy, and will possess able machinery to mount a race winning challenge.
