peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
[VASC17R7R8] Perth SuperSprint: 5-7 May

Fast Facts - Perth SuperSprint

The stats say PRA pole, Lowndes to win and T8/PRA to lock out the podiums

But the new/old kid in town is flying, will DJRTP keep the form of late?

Is Chaz starting a Roll that will take him to the championship?

Or will T8 strike back after what was possibly their most woeful performance ever in the last race?

the last few years have had a lot of winners early in the season so maybe its time for someone new this year

Alongside the special livery, nationwide fitness giant Plus Fitness will carry branding on the front and rear quarters of the chassis.

running my thoughts on how USA series might relate to Australian supercar licence points

UsF2000 nation championship(formula ford) 5 points
Pro Mazda champopionship (production cars) 5 points
Indy lite (F4 or TRS) either 5 or 6 points

should qualify him.

Matt Brabham could make his Supercars debut this weekend, having been linked with the vacant seat at LD Motorsport for the Barbagallo Raceway weekend.

If Matty Brabs can't race at Indy, be great to see him on the grid at Barbagallo, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in racing in touring cars in Australia.

Means Supercars can claim the first American to start a non-enduro ATCC/Supercars event since.....?

Pro Mazda is not production cars, it is open-wheel racing and the next step up from USF2000 in the Mazda Road to Indy ladder

Indy Lights is a fair bit higher than F4 on the licence points I would think, as F4 is very similiar to USF2000. Indy Lights is the equivalent of GP2 (now F2)

Quite possibly the most useless place to put the Plus Fitness logo; right where it's obscured by a curve in the body panel.

Cheers, thanks for the correction on Pro Mazda.

F4 is the top of the tree for open wheelers in Australia for points. I Pro mazda matched up F4 then it would be 12 points for that, easily enough points equivlent

I think trying to compare the US open wheel scene to that of Australia is a fairly meaningless exercise.
