Skaife’s company owed a multi-million dollar payment dating back at least three years for services provided by Holden Motorsport and Walkinshaw Performance.

hrt was a customer of walkinshaws until skaife got into big debt with walkinshaw that is why walkinshaw and not skaife is the majoity shareholder the reason there is no factory involvment allowed because it would wind up like f1 money would be poured into 1 or 2 teams

No. Walkinshaw went bankrupt. Holden rescued three outfits that were HRT, HSV and Peter Brock (Paul Weel?) racing.

Avseco's rules are that the team can not be owned by the factory, beats me why, therefore a problem came up where Holden had to back away.

Paul Weel rebadged the Peter Brock team. The Kelly's bought HSV but a very shady deal was done with Skaife for HRT which has some agreement that Holden re-assumes the ownership after a fixed period - 10 years I think.

Walkinshaw popped his head up last year with TWP and sort of managed both teams and provides tricky bits to a number of outfits. I think he has since backed away from the management thing or was warned off but still provides the gear.

Skaife and way in the backgound, which is why it took so long last year to provide the paperwork, Holden own HRT.

tom walkinshaw is the major share holder in hrt as he owns 51% of hrt and skaife owns 49%.Skaife owed walkinshaw a lot of money so gave walkinshaw this much of hrt to cover the outstanding debt.Before you start screaming i have made this up which i know some of you will. i got my information under the freedom of information act.

Actually who remembers after the Darwin round in 2007, Mark Skiafe had the dismiss suggestions that he was feuding with his then team mate Todd Kelly after an on track incident that saw Kelly bump Skiafe from behind.

It was a racing incident, but Todd had to apologise to Mark.

Move on to 2008 and now HRT are playing down any issues of rifts between Mark and Garth!

Seems to me that Mark gets abit edgy if his team mate gives him a hard time i.e. Tander and the headlight incident at Hamilton. Look out Garth you could be out the door next year if you give Mark to much of a hard time ;)

Mark Skaife is the Majority owner of HRT, he bought it off (i think) Walkinshaw at the end of 2002

Like I said in another thread, Simon McNamara pulls the strings for the top Holden teams, and Skaife probably doesn't own any of it. Whether Walkinshaw does or Holden does is a mystery. However, it's safe to say, in reply to an earlier question, that John and Margaret Kelly own HSV Dealer Team, since TEGA cleared them so quickly last year.

If Mark steps down, then i think it will only be from the V8 Supercar series, i would still expect to see him racing in the enduros.

The thinki is that HRT are a very high profile team and expect both drivers to be front runners. Not in the top 5 and you are given your marching orders. Where does that leave Mark?
