Poultry [DV8SC12-R01] Dunlop Development Series Adelaide -1-4 March 2012

Back again for 2012 is the Development Series, currently unnamed, but there has been some noise around that the announcement of a new title backer is imminent.

So what's happened over the summer break?

Some teams have new cars
- MWR/Blanchard...

Some teams have new drivers
- 888/Pye, Sonic/Miedecke, Novocastrian/Hector, KR/Russell, KR/Waters...

Some teams are still looking.. some drivers are still looking...

Where will Mr Perkins go? Is Mr Bargwanna going to drive 'his' Tasman VE again? Is Mr Morris coming back, in an FG or VE? Will Mr Thompson come back for a 1 round wildcard at Adelaide? Is Mr Mostert going to run?

It will be an interesting year... with few main game endurance spots around, and the final year of eligibility of the main game cars.. you can see that there might be more than a few successful wildcard (wildchild?) applications for the endurance races to compete on a similar playing field...

So.. who will win? Mr Percat is on a hiding to nothing. He HAS to get the job done this year in this series. Hopefully WP has updated his older spec car to the latest thinking, and he can do well, and add to the B1000 trophy!

Should be good fun!

Take a look at the sticker on the Nissan Safety Car for a major hint on the new sponsor.

Mr Kiss will hopefully treat the VE as well as his ute.. so it should be immaculate..

Do they still have that rule where DVS rookies can't make their debut at the Adelaide circuit?

Might entice a few former main game ring-ins to come out and play.

McLaughlan couldn't run a couple of years back because of it, from memory.

I think you will see LDM run last years far in the Dunlop series at Adelaide also.

So who is the favourite this year?

Surely Pearcat would be expected to step up this year, and yet Blanchard has shown him a clean pair of heels both years.

or is there someone else?
