PS2244 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Can we at least give Alex a chance to prove himself at Clipsal before we bash him

There's some really nice liveries this year, Lowndes car looks fantastic and I do like the WP cars.

But jesus couldn't RBHRT come up with a logo that doesn't make my eyes bleed?

888 Has Trouble-Free Shakedown

...while Frosty talks about new car shakedown gremlins Here

Is 888 just so used to building cars that their new ones are perfect when they leave the factory, or is there something for PRA to discover here?

or, is one team spinning. Certainly last september they had problems when they released a new car. and why are they replacing a 5 event old car?

How long will it be before V8s try to do something to even the field, same story as Mercedes in F1 and a lot of talk is pointing to limiting some things they can do so the others can catch and then it will be free play again.

Also I noticed in a statement yesterday that Luke Youlden is the biggest hypocrite out, he said he left the darkside and went to Red again, yet his whole career up until 2013 had been majority Ford. He didn't impress in a Holden either so he cant say I do better in a Holden because that is a lot of garbage.

“It was a good shakedown. There are always a few niggling things but they were all sorted.

We had a couple of electronic gremlins but the car ran strong,” Lowndes told Speedcafe.com.
Maybe not quite what the headline said
