[V8SC09R03&04]Hamilton 400, New Zealand

The new Ford FG Falcon seems to be the beast to beat at the moment, with the 888 hogs and the FPR Fords the pick of the blueberries. HRT isnt that far away, and with the right power steering systems aboard, may be a consistent threat with both the #2 and #22 cars

So..... what will happen in NZ?

Jamie wont crash this year and will win the round, Fabian will be on fire with the Gizz and Jason Richards hot on his ass. Oh and I'll be taking photos of the GG

NAC for NZ P.M.

i expect the HRT commy's to be strong given GT's performance last year, Whincup will be strong and keen to make up for missing out last year. Fabian Coulthard and SVG will be very strong i think. other then that business as usual.

Given Coulthard's pace there last year, and the pedigree of his equipment is even better this year, could spring a surprise or 3...

otherwise if Toddler doesn't jump out in front of him in practice, Whincup to clean sweep

Steve Johnson will be also in the mix, Car seems to be getting better the more time he spends in it. Lowndes will continue his strong form, he is hungrier than ever.

promax has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
hmm i wonder if all the NZ classes supporting this event will do a "Garry Rogers" and park their cars after 1 lap.. after all why should they risk their cars when there isn't a championship at stake?

no i'm a race fan never accuse me of not being one as i'm as passionate as they come. Saturday at Clipsal was a snooze. Sunday was much better though but Jamie was starting to skip away from will until the safety car came out and then the battle was on for young and old and that was great.
