Dessert [iV8SC11-R10&11] Winton Motor Raceway 20-22 May

Winton is but 3 weeks away... with a lot of teams to be scratching their heads about a serious loss of form when crossing the Nullarbor...

I bet they are hoping it returns when the West-East journey is completed.

Everybody seems to know Winton as a track intimately.. who is likely to get their act together across a weekend?

HRT? Can they get thru a weekend without breaking steering parts?
GRM? Can they be on the front foot a whole weekend?
SBR? Can they start the weekend well instead of just finishing it?
FPR? Can they get any kind of form? And what of the 4th car... embarrassing...

And.. will Mr Reindler be fit enough to show. Docs think maybe/maybe not Here

Can BJR get their new chassis built in time? Can PMM rebirth one of their older chassis for Mr Owen to drive? Will Mr Owen be driving?

Lots of questions... not long to find out the answers...

A tip.. hard to go past the house of 8's... more likely the one with 3x 8's than the 2x 8's..

hopefully 88 returns to the bunker at turn 2 that it resided in last year, and livens the series up again...

The Gis can drive thru the field, but will he master Qualifying?

It is his weakpoint.

Will he who must not be penalised, finally get caught out at the end of a qualifying sesion.

Hopefully, James Courtney to run a good weekend, because his office has not gone very well.

would have like to see the vision of qaul on sunday, apperently slowed down, whilst others were still going for a time.

It is true then, Harry Potters come to V8 Supercars.

#17 for a podium, pretty consistent form, as well as #6.

hard to go past 888, but I expect the fate of either CL or JW to be decided in the pits as usual....who gets to double park when an inevitable safety car appears...

hopefully frosty solves his understeer dramas, and more good form for brighty too.

also i think it will provide another reminder for Toddler to hang up the hat at the end of the year...just not as competitive which is a pity given the form of the other 3 cars.

Mick not disagreeing with your opinion on Todd, but in his defence he is ahead of one of his team mates (murph, well and truly time to go) and would be ahead of reynolds if it wasnt for a post race penalty, so him and reynolds are similar,

A week is a long time when it comes to weather forecasting, they cant even get it right for the next day let alone try to work it out a week and a half in advance.

This time of year it tends to be bloody cold at night so crisp mornings followed by beautiful days, unless it's raining

  • Toll Holden Racing Team
  • Bundaberg Racing
  • Jack Daniel’s Racing
  • Kelly Racing
  • Fujitsu Racing
  • Gulf Western Oil Racing
Who would you think would be most likely to ask it's drivers to get in the way of an FPR car? My suspicion would be the Team that starts with H and ends in T

Hmmmmm....

Curious as to how FPR were interested enough to listen to other teams' radio chatter on a test day...
