[VASC17R23R24] ITM Auckland SuperSprint, Pukekohe:3-5 Nov

So... the championship is getting hot...

Anything can happen at this race meeting, a zillion miles from the race parts supplies & equipment of any of the teams..

Will a Kiwi be competitive? Will an Aussie? Will a Swiss?

Its going to need a super strong engine, great drive...

Too many choices.. hard to not pick #97 and #17 for the front...

While Mr Whincup keeps collecting points...

S'gunna be good fun

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
just throwing this stat in. last 2 years there has been 7 races at Pukekohe
Whincup 4 wins and 2 seconds (1 24th)

They kept talking Scotty up, but his record is not overly awesome there (its not bad, its just not awesome - 3 thirds andf the rest were top tens)

Let's not forget that Scotty got a win in his first full time year there. Would love to see BJR up there but that's me dreaming. Would like to see Fabian win as he took over Jason Richards' seat at BJR after Jason passed on.

DJRTP will be quick here. They ran strongly last year, however, Monsoir Lacriox was absent altogether.

Whincup's record is much better than Scotty's but don't forget that Whincup always had top machinery in 888 while Scotty didn't have that good car as he has this year. For me such stats don't tell too much but yes, I expect super strong JDub and super strong Scotty as well.

Except Mr Russell doesn’t/didn’t have a deal for Pukekohe, with Mr Stanaway alleged to have been attempted to be manouevred into that car for that race...

If LDM could have borrowed Stanaway and his Super 2 chassis for NZ, it actually could have worked in Prodrives favour in trying to secure the championship for Chaz with another possibly fast Falcon up front...

The last time LDM borrowed a car, it's owner was less than happy about the condition in which it was returned.
