Fujitsu Series @ Bathurst 2007

**GTRMagic** · 1 Oct 2007, 05:15 (Ref:2027530)

Entry List Here

Who will win the round??

Mr Caruso will flog them.... perhaps....

Chatters · 1 Oct 2007, 05:17 (Ref:2027532)

It'll be Andrew Thompson, he dominated in '06, he'll flog them again...

Oh, wait...

**GTRMagic** · 1 Oct 2007, 05:56 (Ref:2027551)

If Mr Kelly stays on the entry list it will be interesting to see what speed he can generate....

Interesting addition to the field is #30, Mr Ryan Brown, running in the ex-DJR Falcon of Mr McGill in the ANT Racing franchise licence slot.... a noted peddler of an Rx7 in Improved Production.... lets hope the McGill machine can be as pacy as his regular mount... and run for more than 5 laps at a time

If what I hear is true, this is an outdated list...expect it to inundated with changes before P1....

**GTRMagic** · 1 Oct 2007, 06:07 (Ref:2027556)

It isnt the official one, its the one on the official site... a large difference it seems... with probably 4 too many cars on it...

888_Fan · 1 Oct 2007, 06:10 (Ref:2027557)

...so where do they get this list from as opposed to the official entry list???

**GTRMagic** · 1 Oct 2007, 06:12 (Ref:2027558)

This is a list of all the L3 franchise licence slot owners who have nominated cars for the event, with the driver nominated against them.

The first practice for the Fujitsu cars is 9.10 Thursday morning... presumably the documentation review is sometime Wednesday, meaning changes can, and will, be made up until that point.....

888_Fan · 1 Oct 2007, 06:17 (Ref:2027562)

Thanks GTR.

Just curious, when you say the driver nominated against the L3 franchises, do you mean the driver who was nominated at the start of the year in that car or the driver which was actually entered for the race meeting?

**GTRMagic** · 1 Oct 2007, 06:24 (Ref:2027564)

Entered for the race meeting.....

There are no TBA's on the list this time... maybe TEGA is clamping down on non existent entries (finally!)

888_Fan · 1 Oct 2007, 06:30 (Ref:2027567)

34 entered for the biggest race meeting of the Fujitsu year, with (as you say GTR) 4 could be dropped. Not exactly in keeping with previous race meetings of well over 40 cars, pre-qualifying etc etc.

Having said that, I've heard of a few that should be on that list, but unconfirmed...

Micklegend · 1 Oct 2007, 06:31 (Ref:2027568)

Is this also the last outing for the AU at Bathurst?

Doesnt look like it....

There are almost always late entries... or where they missed the cutoff anyway... I know of a couple that havent shown because cars are damaged/in the process of being sold/been sold and awaiting the new owner to enter them.... but they arent on the list yet

I thought Mr Spychala was going to run?

Sorry to be a little off topic, but who in their right mind is going to choose a BF over a BA in the 2009 series??

Perhaps TEGA will tighten the rule allowing BF's to be converted to BA's....

Pro Racer · 1 Oct 2007, 12:09 (Ref:2027823)

if all stay on the list, for me it's Caruso, D'Alberto and O.Kelly, in any order as the one's to beat.

Pro Racer.......Bit tough on 3rd placeman in the Championship, Scott are you not?.......Just because lady luck has not exactly done him any favours this season.......He is 3rd in the champion, because he can drive!........He is also driving the pole car from last year.......and has the benefit of that set up information plus Marks speed trace from last year.......And a different clutch to boot!

D'Alberto may be leading the championship and should win it.......But IMO he is is certainly not a better driver than Scott.......Even if he has been doing the DVS for twice as long........Caruso is also no world beater, and with out direct factory assistance, would not be running were he is.

Owen Kelly is probably the star of the bunch but you also need a good car at Bathurst.......And I am far from convinced he has the equal of the other 3.

Prickly_Goo · 2 Oct 2007, 00:49 (Ref:2028456)

Well no surprises here peoples--- GO JOSE!!!

seriously thou, 7 drivers have a realistic chance of winning the championship so you can't rule out Caruso, D'Alberto, perhaps maybe Fernandez (yep im optimistic

) and Youlden plus Thompson..

v8's rule, I havent mentioned Kayne Scott either purely because I dont like him, never have never will.. to me he's a SORF.

888_Fan · 2 Oct 2007, 01:42 (Ref:2028474)

Jose? You're joking right. Has he even won a race this year...or ever?

I've got my money on Caruso.

Nope im not joking 888 Fan.. Russell Ingall won the championship without winning any races during the year right?

The day people start realising that Jose has just as much chance as anyone else is the day I will stop carrying on. Its just the same as you going to Lowndesy's defence, everytime someone bags him out..

Untill then keep ya trap shut!!

Thanks.

I seem to remember Russell winning a race and a round in his title year, along with multiple race and round podiums....

I think he's had his chances to impress. Isn't the car he's in the same one that dominated the last two rounds in 2006 in the hands of Mr. Thompson...

Crikey mate... you are pulling the other one to write all that while keeping a straight face.

That Scott bloke can qualify all right but when it comes to racing, he gets passed like a dodgy curry...

If they have betting allowed on these cars, Jono Webb is the man to beat. Best car & prep in the feild by a mile. Only questionmark is Jono..

DAVID PATERSON · 2 Oct 2007, 07:15 (Ref:2028581)

I reckon this is one of the most wide open races for years, no real standout, but for my mind, at least half a dozen or so real chances.

Pro Racer · 2 Oct 2007, 10:16 (Ref:2028748)

atleast it is more than main game.

**GTRMagic** · 2 Oct 2007, 11:45 (Ref:2028826)

Looks like Mr Kelly isnt starting in the development series races Here with the car's owner, Mr Neville, stepping into it.

Also interesting is Mr Wyhoon has his AU back
