In an era where things I'd say weren't as strong as now, a privateer can be less then a second and 20th in Qualifying now, back then what were the gaps, not that close. Now money talks, back then it did but not as prominent. Now, a bad few rounds can wreck a young gun, which is what I'd hate to see Richie do through a few bad rounds with either PRA failing for pace or caught in a crash. Ambrose had the talent, as does Richie, but look at Cam last year, a huge disappointment according to some. Yes some was the car, but some was him too. I'd say 60/40 team to cam in terms of bad results. He wasn't inexperienced. By PRA's own accord, they are a team that are very self critical, so there is a habit of criticism to themselves. from 2015 to now, we have seen a huge failure in form, Chaz is pushing a log further then it should be, the car is in a battle.
