GRM's Tough Call
V8X Supercar Magazine|December 2019 - January 2020 Issue 114
The biggest casualty of the 2020 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship grid shakeup is the loss of Garry Rogers Motorsport, ending a 24-year run in the category.
GRM's Tough Call

With Boost Mobile owner Peter Adderton threatening to pull his backing if Supercars didn’t adopt a control upright for next season, Garry Rogers announced the team’s decision to sell its two Racing Entitlement Contracts (RECs).

“We won’t be renewing our franchises,” said Rogers in a video address.

“I went to Supercars and requested an extension of a week or two to perhaps put a business plan together where we would stay in the Supercar business, but they rejected that.

“The Supercar business to me, I do it because I love doing it. It’s not a big financial gainer of any kind.

“We make some money for some years, we lose some money for some years, but we enjoy it and I enjoy it because of the people I do it with.
