think this will be a real test of DJRTP. from memory they went really well last year, expecting that to be a step up at this years event

888 cleaned up with 10 of the 12 podiums last year, but Fabs did get one of the other 2 with a 2nd, didn't finish lower than 5th in the others, so that does bode well. More ominous is that SVG got 2 firsts and 2 seconds last year ...

There is a fair chance Mr Douglas will remain in the car for the AGP.

Taz Douglas is really the only option theres a few DVS guys who qualify like Shae Davies for example who have the budget but may not necessarily want the ride due to the lack of competitiveness I haven't heard anything about the situation as of yet.

I want to see BJR go well. Been watching some older races and seeing the late Jason Richards affected by terminal cancer almost winning one of the races is nothing short of spectacular.

That would be BJR's luck, "win" at the GP...

Well, the GP was where BJR first racked up a win (by gambling on tyres in a wet/dry race) so there'd be some symmetry were it to happen again I guess.

They seemed to be super fast in a straight line in Adelaide but weak under braking. Ludo special or just how it was?

Holden aero requires rethink at GRM
