I don't think roland would be too happy to see one of his chassis there.

There are some amazing fabricators in that part of the world, many clearly capable of building to someone else's drawings.. But it doesnt do a lot to protect 888's IP |

Tyre pressure became mandated in September. FPR was WELL off the wagon by then. Tyre failures were prevalent at Bathurst last year and were blamed on low tyre pressures, including 888. HRT and Erebus lost tyres in Perth: http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/c...-tyre-failures Mandating the minimum pressure that was already recommended started in August: http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/c...under-pressure And mandated on the 19th of September: http://www.v8scglobal.com/latest-new...tyre-pressure/ Sandown was held 14th September by which time Jamie Whincup was already 280 odd points ahead of Frosty in the title chase. Basically 888 were already pantsing FPR after clawing back the early lead FPR had, and the tyre rule was inconsequential - your argument holds no water at all. I believe this would be a case of the "false cause" logical fallacy, except that 888 started beating FPR well before the new rule came in therefore there is not even a correlation between the 2 facts, much less a causal relationship as you trying to assert. |

No wonder Ford are leaving the series. How long before Volvo, Nissan and Erebus wake up to what is going on and get out too.

The part we should be getting excited about is that there have been very few 'tyre' failures that havent been induced by hitting things since the pressure mandate.

Despite having their season ruined by not getting a grip on the tyre pressure problems, they still don't need a technical director...

They could've done all of that when the FG CotF came on line two years ago.
The reality is, FPR are simply not on the ball. If Triple Eight were still running Fords, you could almost gaurentee that the FG CotF would've been a clean-slate design; new aero, a few trick bits, etc. |

To me it's a just another indicator that PDA aren't really up to the job of doing everything in their power to compete week-in week-out with 888.
Hell, the lead driver of the their 4 car squad got beaten in the championship by a single car privateer team. |
