In defence of everyone else, isn't Tekno virtually a satellite team though?

Allegedly, there is some correlation in data between Tekno and Triple Eight, but certainly not to the extent that LDM breifly enjoyed at the beginning of last season.
It's surprised me how Mr Edwards has kept his role in the team for so long. There also seems to be very little stability in roles in the team, year in year out, as well. No driver/engineer relationships have been maintained, as everybody gets shuffled around so much. |

Didn't Roland Dane stop Jonathan Webb driving for HRT in the
enduro's this year ? Their alliance must be closer than one might think. |

That was all done and dusted not long after. I suspect around the time Mr Dumbrell came out in the media, threatening to bench Mr Pye.

Why is this 2014 silly season thread still going? The season is over...

Surely something like this should form a part of a 100 point plan, with actions coming out of it to execute into the next season and beyond to make sure the same negative things dont happen to the team again? |

From what I gathered from the reports of their testing earlier this year, the traits in the FPR chassis are seem to be a Winterbottom influence.
Hence why Frosty deemed the #18 chassis perfectly fine, suggesting that Mr Perkins learn to adapt. |

Sometimes you've got to sit a driver down and get their head straight but by & large expecting them to adapt only means that they never quite get "right" in the car. Given the Frostmeister's televised tanty at A. Davison last year, I don't know that I'd have all the much respect for his assessment on team mates - particularly those in the "Charlie" car. |

When the form and benchmark team in the category for the last 8 or so years says they are light on engineering talent despite finishing 1-2-4 in cars they built, and similarly in past years, you might wonder what kind of navel gazing is going on at WP, PRA, NisMoAu, Erebus and everyone else about how to be that good, that often..

Back to back Bathurst victories and third in the championship certainly isn't anything to be sneezed at; and indeed shows (1) there are no teams better than them for recent Bathurst results, and (2) there are about 13 teams doing worse than FPR in the championship. Of course at the back of their minds would be the lack of certainty affecting their future; but the reality is FPR have merely been giving honest answers to the media, who are asking the questions. |

Every driver, team, and bodyshell representing a roadcar, is fair game on here.

Interesting to see that WP seems to have changed from Kings Springs to Eibach Springs in the 2013/2014 off season.
Following 888 to some extent most likely, and experiences with the product there. Tekno is also an Eibach customer Meantime FPR is still on Kings Springs.. |

Springs are only as good as the dampers that control them.
Are WP still using those flimsy Ohlins units? |
