Auto Action 2011 Drivers Poll

[JC Ohope]

Interesting new story on the V8's website, though I can't be bothere posting all of the results over here the more interesting ones are:

How many overseas races should there be?

4 = 29%
5 = 18 %
6 = 18%
2 = 7%
Other = 21%
No comment = 7%

Are the overseas races alienating Aussie fans?

No = 64%
Yes = 29%
No comment = 7%

Interesting that most drivers seem to feel that we should have more overseas races.... but I guess they just want more races in general?

I certainly don't agree with them when they say they don't think overseas races alienate local fans..... based on the discussion on forums like ten tenths it looks like the 'hardcore' fans really dislike the international rounds.

Have the stewards been fair and consistent this year?

No = 72%
Yes = 21%
No comment = 7%

No real surprise there

Who was the fairest driver in 2011?

Garth Tander = 14%
Steve Johnson = 11%
Lee Holdworth = 11%
Fabian Coultard = 7%
Craig Lowndes = 7%
Other = 50%

Which driver has punched above his weight this year?

Reynolds = 32%
Slade = 21%
Moffat = 18%
No comment = 14%
Others = 15%

Who has underperformed in 2011?

Courtney = 61%
No comment = 14%
T Kelly = 7%
A Davo = 7%
Frosty = 4%
Others = 7%

Who was the best driver in 2011?

Lowndes = 43%
Whincup = 43%
No comment = 14%

Who was the worst driver in 2011?

Bargwanna = 29%
Reindler = 14%
No comment = 14%
Fiore = 11%
T Kelly = 7%
Others = 25%

Who is the dirtiest driver in 2011?

Bargwanna = 21%
Van Gis = 21%
T Kelly = 14%
No comment = 11%
Moffat – 7%
Others = 26%

Which driver do you respect the most in 2011?

Lowndes = 18%
Whincup = 18%
No comment = 14%
Murphy = 11%
Tander = 7%
Other = 32%

A few laughs from that lot:

• I'm not sure Mr Jones will be cheering about two of his drivers making the 'worst drivers' list
• Interesting that Whincup and Lowndes are rated as tied for best driver...
• Have to laugh at the 'support' for Courtney as the most underperforming driver
• More drivers respect Murph than Tander?

Oh and this....

Other than your own team, which team would you most like to drive for?

Triple Eight = 68%
No comment = 7%
Walkinshaw = 4%
FPR = 4%
SBR = 4%
Other = 13%

So basically..... almost everyone who doesn't drive for 888..... wants to drive for 888

And who takes notice of this?

Just goes to show you how out of touch they are with the real world

It is just a slap on the back exercise - W.O.F.T.A.M.
