What a said day it is.... TKR is no longer affliliated with Holden, but instead Ford now, or should i say FPR. 6 years of driving holdens and now ford, seems hard to swollow but its still TKR at the end of the day and Ill still support them.

Some say its a smart move because of the Murphy fan base already associated with Holden, so having TKR on the otherside evens it out i supposes.

hopefully they get the result they deserve with FPR, and lets hope we see them win a few races.

Isn't there a rumour that Murph is going to TKR next season? Would hate to see him racing for the Blue corner...

Murph's been linked to Tasman, seeing as how his father runs the team.

It'll be interesting to see whether the FPR relationship can bring more benefits than the current relationship with PMM.

It is sad but from the news it seems TKR were not getting much support from Holden NZ and couldnt develope the car much further.So instep ford and offer them the right support,looks like a gain for ford and a loss for holden NZ,plus FPR/FPV are now based at The taupo circuit.

That what i heard as well, that TKR weren't getting much support from Holden NZ which was a shame....Im sure Ford will probaly do a better job...hate to say it tho.

Its rumoured that Jason richards could be coming back... because murph is going to tasman as well as tander, which means that richards want have a seat.

could see some good reasults if the package is right!!!

bout time!!!!:headbang:

good luck to 'em but from what I can see they never lived up to their potential in holden. Never used what car they had. Can't really see 'em going any better at ford unless fpr actually engineeres and sets up the whole car

Damn, I was getting set to back them next season after Murphs pretty average season this year. As one of the few that quite enjoy watching Paul Radisich race, it's a shame they have had to jump camps to get factory support. Shame on you Holden New Zealand.
