Rodney Forbes has been getting on my case all year. He just seems to not quite cut it and he seems to make a lot of mistakes. What drivers really annoy you and why.

Forbes is there because he can afford it.
The drivers that annoy me are the ones who stay in a category for a long time and never get any better. They are the ones that spend money on "go faster" bits but basically can't drive so it makes no difference. It can't be enjoyable to always be at the rear of the grid. But its their money so its up to them I guess. |

PHEW !!!!..for a brief moment when i looked at the heading of this topic I was expecting to come in and see that Rodney forbes has signed to be Mark Skaifes No.2 at HRT for next year...thank godness that isnt the case ...
Rodney has plenty of cash...and has on occasion shown some reasonable speed..but all to often he falls off the black stuff..maybe he will get better with time ..who knows??? Im getting more and more annoyed with the castrol team and especially mr Ingall..but hey on track they are great to watch..if its team managers..jeff grech gets my vote on mr nasty |

Rodney was the butt of a few jokes last Sunday... but Neal did beat him in the end, GOOSE OF THE CENTURY!
I knwo at QR this year for the sprint round, Rodney was a bit of a dud...he would have lost it 30 times over the weekend...at least he gave the crowd something to cheer for |

You gotta admit though, that paintjob Forbsy had on his VS for the 99 season was beautiful. The effect didn't really present well on TV but in the flesh it changed colour as it went by. Looked nice.
Doulman tends to crash a lot to ? I remember sitting on Momo Corner Oran Park 99 and seeing him stick it into the tyre wall head on. |

ah yes, Mcdougal, The old kilt wearer himself. I remeber watching him at Adelaide this year, hold up Radisich for about 10 laps, as the rat tried to lap him. That one did annoy me no end!!!!
The ones I feel sorry for are the likes of Mark Poole. Ok, it was more a matter of circumstance than any thing else, but he was leading in Canberra for quite a long time. But I suppose he just didnt have that fat cheque book. |
