| Also Holden do not own HRT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| that hit was because of the skaife richards incident or were you to busy wiping the tears from your eyes to see that as for cameras in the cars lowndes had one | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| WTF are on, Skaife has proven he still is fast, he was second on the grid, or didn't you watch the race. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You have to beat your own team first???WTF..Skaife should put his money were his mouth is, prove that he is still capable of being a top driver if not move over let someone else drive-regardless if your a team owner or just a driver. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Get the tissues out matt, have a look at whincup ramming lowndes up the ar$eon the weekend, jamie apologised to lowndes and thats fair enough. YOU NEED TO BEAT YOUR TEAM FIRST. Matt |

| 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 ;) |

| kiddies!!! LOL that is priceless from a person like you that acts so childish. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| He is a owner by name only. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| and how are you so certain is this information from your mystery source the same informant as the 888 information or is it more speculation on your behalf | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mark Skaife is the Majority owner of HRT, he bought it off (i think) Walkinshaw at the end of 2002 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skaife isn't going anywhere kidies, lets just get that straight. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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? |

| if ths was a ford team you would be writing all sorts of rubbish about how your sources told you this and that and whatever else a newspaper article is written and your crying into your mark skaife hankie and pyjamas you have started the rumour mill plenty of times one story with a bit of fact and the world is going to end | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| its easy 5 words is all he needs to say. I have decided to retire or i am not fast enough or garth is a better driver or how about i have told garth he rubs me again i will sack his a@@ title or no title | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well, it looks like he does not have the final say in his supposive team. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| They can't he supposedly owns the show. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skaife was fast over the w-end but one race wont win a Championship as a team owner he should be thinking of winning not his ego, trial a couple of other drivers, see if the car can still be competitive-give canto, holsworthy someone,anyone a go.Got nothing to lose | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How the f#ck can Skaife sack himself, the age newspaper, wouldn't even wipe my ar@se with it... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Boy holden_skaife i did not realise that this heading has upset you so much? Funny thing is that this is a cut and paste from The Age newspaper, best you contact them regarding the nasty story. |
