Brock's car broke on the startline, they eventually got it fixed and they turned laps in the race, but many many laps down
Johnny Cecotto was a DTM racer when he joined Longhurst for that same 1992 race, though in the context of V8Supercar-spec cars that doesn't really count in this thread. Klaus Neidzweidz was a German STW competitor when he drove the Moffat Falcon in 1996 In the Group A era, we had alot of DTM runners racing here. |

Johnny Cecotto had that great nickname "Johnny Chook Lotto"

Yep, otherwise known up and down the pitlane as Herman. Then there is of course Paul Cepernich and I may be wrong but didn't Ludo have some DTM in his background?
There have been some others too but damned if I can remember their real names LOL. |

Ludo has STW and BTCC background, but probably DTM as well.
I'm gonna say the name Wayne Gardner |

And keeping in mind the long and sometimes complicated history of the DTM and it's forerunners.....John Fitzpatrick, Bathurst Winner and DRM competitor in Touring and GT cars. But now I've gone well off topic. |

You don't like the guy, obvious. You don't like Ford or Ford fans? That's cool too. Just remember there's just as many fanbio's swimming in the red pond who thought Brock, Lowndes and Skaife were gods during the peak of their careers too. Made worse by media beat ups. |

So does Mr Waters struggle to get speed out of the current #6 paint the Supergirls effort in a different light?
I think it illustrates what a solid effort it was. |

I don't mind Fords, and there's only certain Ford fans I don't like. In the case Mr Ambrose, his smug arrogance just turned me off. There was times during his run in NASCAR that I just couldn't stand it there. I was happy the day he announced he leaving NASCAR. There's plenty of god worshiping in the category, and will always be the case. And the way the media works, that's another discussion/thread that we could start. I have my favorite drivers I follow, my favorite cars, manufacturers and teams across many categories. But have never found myself god worshiping any of them, whilst no other driver has given me the s@#t's like he has. |

It'd be like saying EVERY Holden fan wants to **** Brock or Lowndes just based on the fact that a supporter of another manufacturer may not like them. There's Holden fans who can't stand either. And their isn't enough cold water for fanbois of those two. All moot though. 2015 Silly Season is just about done. |

Or, also considering Mr Winterbottom's indifferent form since Bathurst, does it suggest that PRA are lost set-up wise without Mr Mostert? Mr Waters ( and Car 5 ) was blindingly fast at Bathurst after Mr Mostert had set the car up. The minute Mr Mostert is out of the car, both cars are back to "normal" i.e; not quite on the pace.

You don't want to know....nor am I going to advertise....
To these people, the simple fact that he had Ford winning again and was taking the championship off Holden was enough to get the juices flowing. And they weren't the only Ford fans who acted that way. WOW, nice to know there's someone else out there that hates Jessica Alba.... |

Something weird going on with car 4#. Second driver in two rounds. No disrespect to Dean
But I don't think Alex will be any quicker. They should just left Ash in the car he is just as quick if not quicker than Deano and Alex. Would have liked to be a fly on the wall last last couple of weeks down at Erubus. |

Weird Silly Season this one, and the music hasn't stopped yet. For the most though, its the same players, just dancing with new partners.

So what did Ash do to have his arse kicked out the #4?
Looks like they just need someone to drive the thing, yet Ash is sitting there with his helmet ready and they're looking everywhere/anywhere else? |
