2012 Silly Season Thread

[Syzygy]

Do you have rumors? Think they might not be true? I don't care, post all the rumors you want! Feel free to promote your team, driver, spread lies, etc.

If you don't see your team/driver on the list right now and you are in the series now, I probably just need confirmation from you that your team/drivers will be returning.

Aftershock Racing not returning in 2012?

Rumors are abuzz that Aftershock Racing, the team that won Daytona with Andy Lambert, will not return in 2012, citing lack of performance and loss of sponsorship at the end of the season. The team currently fields Chevrolet Impalas for Andy Lambert and Sam Smith.

Laaksonen and Kowalczyk back to Rally Cars at end of season? CONFIRMED

Kristoffer Laaksonen, driver of the #31 Matco Tools Chevrolet Impala for Johnson Racing, will not be returning to that ride at the end of the season. He will instead return to Finland to continue his Rally Car career. It is believed that despite being 2nd in the points, he still has not completely gotten the hang of the much heavier PCC Cup car and prefers the Rally Car body.
Izaak Kowalczyk will also not be returning to the PCC Cup next season. He has already stated that he feels uncomfortable in the American garages, and prefers Rally Cars to the PCC Cup cars.

Stephans Racing to switch to Tonare in 2012

Stephans Racing, who has been aligned with Gasnier for the past 3 seasons, will switch to run the Tonare Thunder GT model next season. Chris Benson will run full-time next season in an attempt to capture Rookie of the Year. The #83 car, which Kenny Stephans has driven since 2009, will change to #55, which Benson will drive.

I see what you did there.

(OCC:I do realize this is non-canon but I am still using TMMC as the reason for leaving.)

I think PCC Cup is canon now, might be wrong though.

[gwoodard41]

No, while it uses TM Canon and REAL LIFE Manufacturers, Cynon gave it a section anyway, probably due to the whole concept of Crash and Trash Racing

It's not canon, otherwise my namesake wouldn't have a ride in the 2012 season.

Joe Craig Ready for Next Season

After ending the season on a bad note, Joe Craig is already prepared the challenges of a new season. He stated, "I think we fell apart near the end of the season. I know we can do a lot better, so that is what we'll do. The #29 was great at Daytona, and I think it can be great again at the start of next season."

[gwoodard41]

Any idea as to when sign ups will begin? Been waiting for it and kinda wanted to ask.

Basically post a silly season post with your intention to race in the series, and if BurningThunder likes it, he'll add you to the list, my recommendation though is to have:

How many driver you're going to have, he may limit them to one or two.
The numbers you want, don't take any already taken
The sponsors if you want any at all
The Make and model (Ex. Volpi VC03, Inglesby Flashback M-Type, etc...) or a RL version (Chevrolet Impala/Monte Carlo, Ford Taurus/Fusion, etc...)

Have in a good descriptive paragraph and if he likes your entries, you'll be 'in' for the time being. Though it's more or less a Tentative thing at best. Current teams in the series I believe get priority over new teams, but BurningThunder may say otherwise.

This would cause a MASSIVE stir in the V8's (having the same sponsor on a Holden(Chevy) & a Ford) but who cares, it's just a fictional league.

I didn't even know someone else would be sponsored by Mother. But hey, Rick Ware Racing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series runs both Fords and Chevys so I'm sure a sponsor on two manufactures wouldn't be a problem.

Australian Motorsports - Chevrolet Monte Carlo

18 - Josh Marshall (AUS), Mother Energy
19 - John Bracchi (ITA), Rockstar Energy/Xbox 360

Wouldn't those 3 sponsors within the same team cause a massive stir, but as you said, who cares

Ike Durbin, Inc. Confirms Intent on Entering Series; Other Details Announced

After the Cleveland Grand Prix, Ike Durbin held a press conference to announce some of the details regarding his 2012 PCC Cup Series schedule.

"I'd like to start out first by saying I'm very grateful to be driving for GLM in the PCC Cup Series in 2012. I can't wait."

"As far as my own team next year, Ike Durbin, Inc. will run a partial schedule in 2012. Although we had been discussing contract offers with Ryo Akuzaru, they fell through due to his other obligations. Instead, the driver will be Isaac Michaels in 2012, for the American races. He's an up-and-comer and he's been dominant in American Regional Series'."

"Ike Durbin, Inc. would like to run the Russian races as well, with Russian driver Nikolai Mahlyenki behind the wheel. He's a third generation Russian Touring Car Driver, and he has some experience at the tracks."

"As far as other details, we will be running number 4, with Skullcandy as the sponsor for all the races Michaels runs. As of now, we haven't sorted out anything as far as sponsorship for Nikolai, because we currently do not know if we'll be able to run the Russian races."

"Lastly, our cars will run Dodges in 2012. We're testing with different models right now, so we don't currently know what model we'll run. The Chargers look fast, but so do the Challengers and Intrepids."

Tommy Urban Starts Own Team for Part-time Effort

2011 driver, Tommy Urban, drove for Flame Racing last year. After driving poorly Urban was released and the team was closed. However, Urban's thirst to run in the PCC are not over. Because he found a sponsor, Tommy Urban now has the money to run a part-time schedule this next season. The sponsor, Patron Tequila, jumped on a week or so ago. Urban wants to redeem his image as a driver and prove that he can race with the best. Therefore, the name of the team became Redemption Racing.
