Floored to hear Rick Kelly's announcement. Rick still has plenty to give in my opinion. I was also backing Rick to break all the records for most starts etc. Rick has had an excellent career. 2-Bathurst wins, a Championship, many race wins and always a contender, Rick Kelly has achieved plenty and could still do more as a co-driver.
Rick is stepping away from Kelly Racing it sounds, with the Castrol backing likely to head to another team as well. Tickford is most likely to benefit from this. Interesting that Rick is stepping away from the team he co-owns/owned.
Tickford are favourite to sign Kelly as an enduro driver for 2021, he'll be a gun signing.
AA have plenty of suggestions about what will happen to the field, headlined by David Reynolds taking Penrite sponsorship to Kelly Racing to take Rick's seat.
MSR are likely to expand to 3 cars, with Tim Slade likely to join. Coulthard is likely to re-join BJR in what was Macauley Jones' drive.
Plenty of announcements and surprises still to come.
