Can't see them taking off over here, the others didn't and were a very similar concept. Mind you, marketing can go a long way, eh?
they better not be a new tier 1 class

Hmmm, Foggy still looked quicker on Sunday though - until his tyres went from under him

Maybe thats because he cut the corners and went over the kurbs whenever ther was a chance, without even attempting to make the corner, especially if there was a passing move or 5 in it.

Are you implying that our Angus might have a few rough edges at times?

Maybe.

I remember very clearly what he did to Baird at puke, do you recall that one?

Do you mean when on the last lap Bairdo braked comming over the top of the hill (confirmed by judicial in-car camera) and Angus who was less than 2m behind him could not avoid (I believe data was supplied by Williams) which send Bairdo onto the grass and Fogg accross the finish line unable to re-adress the situation. Gary's team apparently refused to supply data showing that all previous 11 laps, Bairdo had not braked on that particular corner but did on this occasion. . . . . Yes I recall it too.

I can see that you recall the incident very clearly also, but I must just fill in one further gap in what you have posted. There were two touches by Fogg, not one and the first one was prior to any braking by Bairdo. I know that the first touch caused Baird to brake, so he could keep control of the car and that came from the man personally.

Isn't it great that we both remembered it so well, it must say something about Foggy reputation, otherwise neither of us would have remembered it, or recalled it so clearly.

I remember him being literally sideways down the front straight at Pukekohe some years ago and managing to collect it all up and go on to finish

reckon the alarm bells might be going off about now..

since the new gen falcon might be turned into a new gen toyota.. think there might be a push to hurry up and complete the VE.. and put some real miles on it. might be a good idea to learn from others mistakes.

If you were at the track you could have missed it but it was well televised, including a replay if I remember correctly. Not one of his best moves! And not one of his more popular ones either if you speak to the Evans camp!

Last race before they both move to V8ST, cant imagine the Inky camp would have been happy with that! Nor Simon for that matter.

Revenge?

My money is on Evans, he has less of a hot head.

That was a nasty move IMO from Foggy coming into the chicane, its just his usual 'get out of my way i'm Angus Fogg' attitude, and i dont care who i take down in the process.

But hey didn't he get a drive thru for that?
