He did a test with GRM at the start of the year which Garry said was to help him decide the second seat. Of course he then went on to make one of his strange driver decisions as usual...
If I was Garry, I'd sign Perkins and McLaughlan for next year. I mean, Caruso's alright but I for one doubt he's ever good enough to be a true top-line competitor.
Caruso has actually done a very good job of leading the team, so I wouldn't be surprised if Garry resigns him.
Perkins actually has talent (unlike some other sons of Bathurst winners who happen to be in this race), but his diabetes scares off potential bosses (Jack said yesterday that GRM had to install a Gatorade bottle for him use during the race as well as the water bottle).
McLauchlan will likely get a seat with them at some point, because Fujitsu will have a say in it. However, he'll probably need one more year in the DVS before a full time drive, yeah he's leading it but Chaz Mostert is the favourite, and he's skipping the enduros to concentrate on it.

Therefore you must also hate HRT because they do exactly the same thing. And at least FPR have been able to come close to backing up their claims.
