the structure of the business and the structure of the race team.

Lucky Dogs

And it was sort of, it went through this period where we had a different managing director or a different team manager and all the rest of it every six months.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

There was no real stability in the race team.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

So that probably, that, and then once we sort of got the right people around, they're like, man, our engine program's no good.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

So then engine program got going again.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

And pretty much by the time we got to sort of 15 and 16, the cars were competitive again, but we didn't have the consistency of the other teams.

Alistair McVane.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

Yeah, that's right.

Lucky Dogs

And I mean, you always want to back the people in that you've got because you're always going to back them in.

Lucky Dogs

But yeah, I think the biggest thing was the constant changing of leadership.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

So that was always, right, now we're going to do it this way and do it this way.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

And then, okay, someone else comes in, right, now we're going to do it this way.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

And the guys are going, what am I doing?

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

Am I left-handed or I'm right-handed or what are we doing here?

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

So I think there was a period of that and that sort of put the team on the back foot.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

And then once the sort of team started to get a bit of momentum going again, yeah, like I say, I felt like in 16 in particular, we had pretty good cars.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

Like actually we were pretty fast and certainly the second half of the year we were quite fast.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

But after that, I left and it wasn't really my problem anymore.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

Well, that was tough.

Lucky Dogs
#31 - Garth Tander

I think that was probably the start for HRT where Tom was sort of sick.
