I think some people have been star****ed by the big names on a quick car. Not that they can't get the job done, but some posters probably lack imagination.

Good point. We should remember that it wasn't long ago that ole Tone got the call from HRT to fill in for Mark ''OMG my appendix. Ow!'' Skaife.

Could be argued that they didn't win last year's race so much as inherit it from the Quinn/Quinn/Denyer car, with its PLPs and gift pass opportinity at the death. IMO some people, self included, are 'over' the saturation of Evos in Aus motorsport. They're good gadgets to be sure, but I'd like to see something different win, be it a BMW, Commo or the 'shaggin.

The first laps will be epic for sure. I just hope the rest of the race is close too.
