DJR Well done!

Rob 18 · 12 Sep 2004, 21:52 (Ref:1094469)

I can't believe no one has hardly mentioned the great effort put in by DJR yesterday. The new #17 was genuinely fast and was loosing nothing to Ingall late in the race either. Warren Luffs double stint was one of the drives of the day & I'm sure he suprised quite a few people & fellow competitors yesterday. Well done everyone at DJR & bring on Bathurst..

Yeah great effort DJR, I was wondering if Seto may have been ribbing Lowndesy about their respective 2005 seat choices and finishes in yesterdays race

Looks good for Bathurst dosent it, I wonder if FPR were taking notice of how Luffy was going???????????

Luke Plaizier · 13 Sep 2004, 01:35 (Ref:1094587)

So, any news about whether they are going to be able to keep the podium spot?

Full marks to Luffy.

Although I don't think he was doing it easy...

The last in-car I saw, his face was red and the sweat was dripping off him.

Great job Warren!!!

Yes, it is confirmed that #17 finished 3rd & the supposed illegal pass on #34 happened when McConville punted the #5 FPR Falcon & that was when Luffy sneaked past before there was a yellow displayed. No problem for DJR.. There first podium since EC last year with Wilson at the wheel.

Armco Bender · 13 Sep 2004, 07:18 (Ref:1094735)

I can feel it in my bones already a Ford win at Bathurst this year for sure.

Kerri · 13 Sep 2004, 07:19 (Ref:1094736)

When was the last time a Ford won at Bathurst?

Armco Bender · 13 Sep 2004, 07:34 (Ref:1094740)

I just hope that the newfound speed is allowed to be maintained at Bathurst....

There's a fraction too much friction... ooohh yeahh...

Don't get too carried away, after Ritter's excursion there 4 Holdens at the front and remember that Skaife and Bright were taken out in incidents that were not of their making, just plain bad luck! And how fast was Skaife after the early clutch problems. Also, remember how fast Ambrose was at Sandown last year but he didn't carry the same speed to Bathurst!

peckstar · 13 Sep 2004, 11:10 (Ref:1094990)

i would have thought t kelly and bright driving off the track all on their own was all their own fault,

and how fast was skaife after the clutch problems

well lets see he came out of the pits about 250 meters in front of ritter and he when the next safety car came out he was about 50 meters

his best lap was .6 of a second (more than half a second) slowew than ambroses best lap so the answer not that fast.

actually, SBR were looking good for a 1 - 2 that year, until Larko had a fuel pump problem.

Congrats to DJR and Johnson/Luff!

It looks good seeing the DJR cars get back to the front,Lets hope they can keep it going for Bathurst and especially for next year with Seton onboard!
