It's a weird one.

I'm still amazed his personal backers remained on the car at PI. I wonder if they will be at Homebush as well?


Perhaps a new home at LDM can reinvigorate some previous backers in Castrol and SP, who've both featured on the LDM vehicles in the past?

On Tuesday on Speedcafe there was an article about twin spring dampers on V8SC, and whether they should continue to be allowed.

Interesting the comments by Tim Edwards: "Mastery of the twin springs played a big part in Chaz Mostert's blistering pace this year"

"it needs a very good driver . Chaz has a really good feel for that track point between the two".

So interesting that since Chaz not around since Bathurst the performance of the PRA cars has dropped off.

Does Mark Winterbottom rely on him so much?

Goes to show how much Frosty has relied on his team mates over the years. I remember an article about when he joined FPR and him and Bright going hard trading fastest lap times in testing. But then, that's what your team mate is there for in the first place, to beat.

Well done to Frosty, very deserving champ. Like to see him back it up now....

And Mr Courtney misses 3 rounds to finish 10th...

This one would be particularly gutting, given how it happened.

Given all the accidents that he's had over the years, does anyone else think of the plot lines from the Final Destination series??

Will an injection of new blood reinvigorate Mr Lowndes, or knock him for a 6?

Congratulations to Mr Moore, if he had indeed cracked a gig in DTM..

While at Le Mans today, Mr Moore was crew chief on the #2 outright winning car.
And WEC championship leader....

Quite interesting the talent Mr Dane has nurtured - and the Dane-bashers will say he just wins because of money...

Mr Dane's roster is full of long-termers.

Not many leave, and they certainly had no issues getting extra staff on board when they expanded production of new chassis back in 2012/13, or stepping up to three cars this year.
