Will "No Way Jose " do really ok, or will Rocky D'Alboa wina d'showa?

Or will Thommo surprise, or maybe Caruso will get the prize...

Your thoughts in a flash about who will get the cash... or not.

GTR were you watching Rocky by any chance?

Well, you know who im gonna pick, but seriously in all retrospect and putting who I support aside, I think Caruso may make a comeback he looked the goods at Wakefield Park.

oh and for the Record, I reckon Jose will come out and beat them all!!!!

(i think im beginning to sound like a spammer

)

Apparently not Clayton Pyne.

McDill · 26 Apr 2007, 09:06 (Ref:1900739)

I hope the McDill Motorsport team does better for their big sponsor HPM

Is this the only development series team where there is more money invested on the shiny boards inside the garage, and the sexy team shirts, than on the cars themselves?

I mean seriously.. you would think an operator like John Bowe would know better than to hang with a crew like this. Cars as old as the hills, plenty of mates to keep the polish up to them, but none to actually make them run for longer than 4 laps at a time.

HPM must be as ecstatic as Fluky Lukey Youlden.. who at Wakefield looked like someone had stolen his Christmas present from him.

Amateur hour is a step up for this mob.

Just Do It! · 27 Apr 2007, 00:21 (Ref:1901362)

Could you suggest remedies, perhaps instead of shooting from the hip with your stiff upper lip?

And how do they compare to the team that you engineer for/own/manage?

Critique is welcome, constructive critique even more so.

I don't know the squad you shoot at, but 7 posts bringing them down with rich negativity would make a Shakey Isle dweller wonder if your butt was meant to be in the driver's seat instead?

Look forward to your advice to improve them

One.. I think he already does according to MNeNews

and 2.. Money can only buy so much, and it depends on how much HPM put into the pot, if its hardly anything well then what do you expect, if its sh*tloads well maybe they should start rehiring and rolling some heads in order to make it work.

The way i see HPM at the moment is the laughing stock of the pitlane.. Thats embrassing when your cars cant complete more than 4 laps at a time..

Maybe you could suggest some as you seem to think you know JDI.

Bring on Winton!!!!

pete60 · 3 May 2007, 23:40 (Ref:1906189)

Entry list for Winton is now up..see http://www.v8supercar.com.au/v8data/...&eid=240&ind=N

It will be great for the fans to have so many v8's at one place, it is a pity that the Utes are not there too

David Towe · 5 May 2007, 08:57 (Ref:1906992)

I hear that Wayne Wakefield will be a starter in the #40 car for the V8 Race Experience team.

**GTRMagic** · 11 May 2007, 00:12 (Ref:1910731)

How did the HPM team go in testing at Wakefield Park yesterday?

Any more news on this? Can anybody confirm?

pete60 · 11 May 2007, 06:14 (Ref:1910792)

Given that he was replaced as the team's driver last year, isn't this unlikely? Or was that a dollar issue not a performance issue?

Uncle Cranker · 12 May 2007, 00:35 (Ref:1911381)

Despite the V8 website saying otherwise, I'm reliably informed that the current entry list is 43 cars; battling for a 40 car grid.

Not that there will be 40 left running come race day.......

I thought the grid density for V8Supercar was 36 cars?

Mr_Cool · 12 May 2007, 04:47 (Ref:1911426)

Top 3:

1: Caruso
2: Wakefield
3: M. White

If Mr Wakefield is in the #40 AU... I think this may be a trifle optimistic...

Real Supercars GTR, not recycled ones.

40 HQ's take the green in December, why not the HQ's of 2037.
