Supercars star suddenly walks out on new team

After racing in just one event, Supercars star James Courtney has walked out on his new team.

The new team has had a rocky start to life despite having the backing of Supercars, who are desperate to have a team based in Australia's largest city. Despite that confidence in the Jonathon Webb-led venture, Chris Pither was only confirmed as second driver in the days before last weekend's season-opening Adelaide 500.2010 championship winner Courtney failed to finish Saturday's race at Adelaide before coming home 15th on Sunday."We have not been able to agree on the way forward, so I have decided to depart the team," Courtney said in a brief statement on Saturday.

It is also uncertain what the decision means for Team Sydney ahead of the second stop in the championship at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne next month.
