It was a Sunday evening in late November 2019. Richie Stanaway stood out the front of the Garry Rogers Motorsport garage in the Newcastle pitlane as cold beers were passed around to celebrate the end of team’s time in Supercars.
With GRM pulling out, and following two difficult seasons in Supercars, it was hard to see Stanaway landing another full-time ride, at least in the short term. Surely his best bet would be a good enduro drive for 2020, a proposition this writer put to him?
