I think so, yeah.

There is still some talented drivers in Falcons this year so they're definitely not lacking in that department, it's just that FPR really can't seem to get their head around the tyre wear on their cars....

Certainly the Gis is capable of another win, and hopefully FPR will get the finger out and figure out what's killing their tyres.... Maybe a DJR race win? SJ showed some pace at Winton

Most of the other Ford drivers though are probably not going to score a win this year without an extreme amount of luck though (eg, Jono Webb at the Sydney 500).

The championship is sure looking one sided at the moment, and though I'm a Holden fan, it'd be boring as hell with no real competition between red & blue...

Who really cares, it is just like Nascar, all the same except for the headlights, not too much Commodore of Falcon in these cars.

I think if anyone can beat 888 then its a good thing for the sport, as they are the benchmark team, regardless of Holden or Ford branding. Id like to see any of the Ford runners win one, but think it can only come from the #5, #6, #9 or #55. Jnr is going well but needs support from the garage, and I think thats the main issue, no team mate to pinch a good set up from. but give James another year or two and things would change, probably along with the driver of the #17!

Even though I am a ford fan, I doubt they will win again without some luck. Whincup is just so strong atm.

After the triple eight debacle Ford continue to make themselves look even more stupid by spending millions, maintaining a presence in the series for no real result other than to make holden look good........should cut their losses and get out altogether.

Send Frosty, Will, FPR's two licences and their entire budget up to SBR. You might see some results then!
On a dollar spent V's results gained ratio, SBR would be killing FPR.

While Jnr is a solid no.2 driver over at DJR and ultra reliable for bringing the car home in one piece and getting top ten results. They need another gun like Will or Courtney to push for wins. A few personel might have left but the speed is still there, but not for long if they don't get a gun driver.
