[V8DVS09R03] Fujitsu Series @ Townsville
The entry list is much rumoured to be changed around for this round, with talk of a PMM Commodore with PM at the wheel, with Mr Jane joining the series, and perhaps for later on in the enduros...
Who will win? Nobody has been there before... no circuit knowledge at all. Which team has the depth to be able to go beyond the settings the supplier gave to them to come good? Its a difficult question... I would suggest Mr Denyer's car would be strong, gleaning information from and to the Jim Beam units... We shall see.. |

Whispers are that there could be the smallest field of the year so far. Hopefully their will be a rush of late entries.

I can't say I'm surprised. It's a long way to come to potentially go home with a very bent racecar.

Sign of the times, last year there were about 30 cars at each race. I recall that a few years ago it was thought maybe there would be a need for a third series, the heady days of 41 cars at Ipswich in 2006 seems such a long time ago.
Presume that Paul Morris will not be in a VE as listed, but Earnhardt the VZ raced at Adelaide by Colin Corkery. |

Did Corkery race Earnhardt (ex Loadsman) or Daisy (WPR)? I thought it was Daisy.
And Morris is in the ex JFR VX up-specced to VZ standards, recently driven by Taz Douglas, Chris Pither etc. |

Definitely not Daisy. WPR still own it and it hasn't been run this year. Last edited by CooperS79; 5 Jul 2009 at 08:48. Reason: Spelling |

That ought to get the profile up, making sure that this the #2 category in the country without question, seems simple enough to me? |

would atleast give more incentive to sponsers. they seem to be gun ho with the Mini's & Utes, they seem to get a race here and there on race day and shown the week after FV8's are usually shown 2 weeks after the event. while Mini's & Utes are cheaper for sponsers no doubt if FV8's got better coverage they would get more sponsers and more entries. it's deadset the forgoton category.

What happened to Race Image this weekend? I thought ESAT was joining the team for the balance of the season.
Word out of Novocastria suggests that the #60 car is sans engine, which is at its builder, allegedly still awaiting payment. |

Note that they have elected to run without windows on the Brawn influenced livery with no detriment... one for the rulemakers when comtemplating minimum ventilation requirements?

Rookie amateur V8 racer Rodney Jane quicker than professional V8 veteran Paul Morris, despite piloting the ex-Team Kiwi mobile. Surely that shows the car was not as poorly maintained and sub-standard in specification as suggested...
Sonic and lots of $$$ can't have worked that many miracles on the supposedly craptacular chassis... |

V8 Fireworks, the car is still over 3 seconds slower than the top Main Game time, plus 1.5 seconds slower than Jack Perkins near the rear of the pack, also 1.3s off in its own class... I do not see this painting a picture of a large improvement like you seem to suggest. Maybe Paul would be more disappointed with his performance so far?

apparantly the smoke coming of the front wheels was due to the no windows

After his performance in Qualifying, he should really take a reality check and get a real driver in his car for 500 & 1000

And which car is he using I thought it was an ex JFR car so would be a pretty old car against new-ish 888 fpr cars |
