Buy tickets<\/a><\/p>\nDane said the test \u2013 Fraser\u2019s only allocated rookie day of the season \u2013 has been planned for months, rather than being a reaction to Townsville.<\/p>\n
Fraser\u2019s weekend at the Reid Park street circuit included a steering rack change on Saturday night amid complaints over front-end feel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know there was anything wrong with it. There might be something else,\u201d said Dane. \u201cThere was an issue, but that\u2019s not the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
The inference that Fraser is under pressure is obvious, but does not mean PremiAir is about to repeat its history of mid-season driver changes.<\/p>\n

Speculation that such drastic action could be on the cards emerged ahead of the weekend but has been dismissed by Dane.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never say never about anything. Somebody could get run over by a milk float tomorrow, but the intention is that absolutely he does the season,\u201d Dane said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s contracted to do it, so we\u2019ll give him the opportunity. We\u2019re a couple of events away from the enduros anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next year, though, is another story, with only Ojeda so far confirmed to continue in the line-up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t made a call and we won\u2019t for some several months about the #777 car,\u201d Dane said of next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeclan is the incumbent and he\u2019s in the mix, but so are other people, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fraser is set to be joined in the Enduro Cup by Tickford Super2 driver Nash Morris, while Ojeda is partnered by co-driving veteran David Russell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Declan Fraser’s PremiAir Racing Camaro in Townsville.
