Everyone...brace yourselves....
Matt Neal is scheduled to enter the country before the next SCS round at Oran Park!!!!
 How do we think he will go? Will he even pre-qualify? Now wouldn't that be just a kick in the pants.... |

Let's hope he confines his driving to the race track...then at least the general population of Australia will be safe.

hmmm...not sure on this one...maybe we should give the guy another chance to prove himself..after all we dont want to go down the avenue of driver bashing now do we
 I hope he does well and I hope he doesnt stuff up like last year at bathurst..i think he may struggle to pre qualify for oran park but by bathurst he should be close to the pace..still he should stay in the BTCC in my view though. |

 I hope he fails to qualify. Firstly because of bathurst last year, and also he will be taking away a grid possition off someone who has been racing all year. |

Whats wrong with Matt Neal racing, i thought it would give some more overseas interest in the class.

69- that's a very valid point. So get Plato racing...nono, he's a goose. How about Muller? Nah...no better... Menu? Not bad... How about Cleland ?

Morris faces a very interesting dilema for Oran Park.
Drive his new inhouse built VX and risk it being uncompetitive straight out of the box or stay in the race winning VT, let Neal drive the new VX and watch him bash it into front runners as they're lapping him... ...which way would you decide ? |

Do you feel that the V8 category is full of Pussies, Ingall aside they feel that you can't touch any one, it's sad. in the words of Harry (from Days of Thunder) " rubbins racing" and it is, no one wants to see no touching racing, this can't be what Aussie Motorsport is about, the rest of the world laughs at V8 Supercar and loves Aussie Super touring, Matt Neal coming to Australia bring years of BTCC xeperience that means real racing excitement, the best there is , super touring racing, it bad , but fun , but real and V8 Supercar doesnn't know the what that word means.

yeah Buckshot, thats the question.
Maybe he should continue with the VT for now, and let Matt test the VX in racetrim. But then again, its not like Morris is in the championship hunt so maybe it would better for him jump in the VX, and get some more productive input, and let Matt Neal drive a race winning car to get back up to speed. |

vauxhall- Now now...I agree, Matt was sensational in the BTCC, I know I always have a soft spot for the underdog. BUT- at Bathurst last year, he won the 'Goose of the Millenium' award, for taking out two contenders for the race win, while being a long way down the order. Completely unforgivable.

Here's the scoop folks!!
Matt happened to be at QR today spotting for Paul Morris in the utes, and I managed to have a word with him. He will be racing the NEW car at Oran Park, and to date he hasn't done any testing- his first run should be this tuesday at Queensland Raceway. BTW- I'm sure he has grown 3ft since I last saw him

Interesting.....
Mick Donaher isn't too shabby is he? I could never understand why he was out of the Ultratune VT? Now I really don't get it. |
