The answer to many of these questions is, inevitably, Glenn Seton.

Re: Crystal ball time...

Who will win?
Anyone out of Lowndes, Ambrose, Bright, Skaife, Murphy or Ingall. Skaife, Murphy and Lowndes are my three favourites in that order. I'd love to see Craig, Marcos or Brighty do it.

Who will bugger up Adelaide and be behind all season long?
Paul Radisich

Who will just plain bugger up?
Glenn Seton (again)

Who will complain the most?
Skaife

Who will shockingly under perform?
I think DJR might need to lift their game a notch. And I'm not sure about Briggs.

Who will shockingly (?) over perform?
McConville, Ozemail team.

Can anyone beat TWR?
I doubt it.

Who will be the best of the rest?
Any one of about 15 guys. I'd like to see McConville, Crompton and Max Wilson do well.

Overall, it's shaping up as one of the most closely fought championships in years. Could be fun!

Especially in the under-performing and over-performing brackets...

One could hope he'll out-perform!

Welcome back Crash. I'll have something over to you for GT ASAP.

Who will win?
Skaife again. I see Ambrose winning at least one round and the Toddler winning a few also.

Who will bugger up Adelaide and be behind all season long?
Paul Radisich.

Who will just plain bugger up?
Simon Wills without any hesitation at all. He is a joke.

Who will complain the most?
Other than myself about Simon Wills and his lack of performance, I'd say Greg Murphy.

Who will shockingly under perform?
Simon Wills. Paul Radisich will be a close second.

Who will shockingly (?) over perform?
Ozemail Racing. I rate John Bowe and the team has come on strong in the last 12 months.


Can anyone beat TWR?
No one will be close. The KMart team are the sleepers to knock off HRT, I see Todd Kelly winning a few races this season, maybe Ambrose also.

Who will be the best of the rest?
HRT, KMart, Castrol Perkins, then the Fords limping along behind unfortunately. Prove me wrong Marcos please. Go the Fords!!

CD.

Who will win?
HRT and Skaifey. With that budget, you can't expect anything less.

Who will bugger up Adelaide and be behind all season long?
er, hopefully NOT Paul Radisisch

Who will just plain bugger up?
Larry Perkins. Retire Now Larry.

Who will complain the most?
Me

Who will shockingly under perform?
Um, I dunno. Hard to say. Could be David Besnard again - stone brothers can't seem to be able to run two drivers with equal success at the moment...

Who will shockingly (?) over perform?
Richard Mork will win Bathurst

Can anyone beat TWR?
Yes, Lowndesy and DJR will be up there, Ambrose and Seton will get a win or two, and of course the other leading Holdens - Ingall, Richards, Bargwanna and Tander - Valvoline Racing will bounce back this year I think.

Who will be the best of the rest?
Paul Morris? Actually, John Bowe. Infact, maybe I should have listed him above. I expect big things from BJR.

Umm, apologies for not being the champion of this forum as you obviously are.

Is there a minimum knowledge requirement that must be met to be able to share an opinion in this forum? Please let us all know racer69.

Does HRT not enjoy the same TWR technical advantages as KMart? I realise both HRT and KMart are TWR aligned, although I admit I don't know exactly which companies (ie. Holden or TWR) own which teams or parts thereof. Nor do I give a rats arse. In my suggestion that "No one will be close. The KMart team are the sleepers to knock off HRT..........", you'll note that there are two seperate statements separated by a full stop.

Is that acceptable?

Skaifie

Who will bugger up Adelaide and be behind all season long?
Probably Lowndes again - hopefully Radisich will go
spare again and think he's one of the Duke boys again
jumping over every chicane and Dick Johnson could
play the part of Sherrif Roscoe in the pits stammering
obsenities.

Who will just plain bugger up?
Neil Crompton - the unluckiest man in V8 Supercar.

Who will complain the most?
Simon Wills or John Bowe, Craig Baird - the whingiest
men in V8 Supercar.In a shock move one of them will
receive Kleenex sponsorship 3 rounds in for the rest of
the year.

Who will shockingly under perform?
I think Valvoline Cummins might continue their
shocking run.

Who will shockingly (?) over perform?
Cameron McConville will keep all 4 wheels on the ground
this year.

Can anyone beat TWR?
Nope.

Who will be the best of the rest?
I'm hoping Marcus is strong again this year and and
that Johnson Jr can do well again also. He really
proved his critics wrong last year (me included) and
it's more fun hating your enemies when they are
actually a threat.

Hope all my fellow posters enjoy the 2002 season - good luck to your team no matter who they are !

Cheers Buck.

Re: Crystal ball time...

If TWR are going to, then please let it be Todd Kelly or Jason Bright. Failing that, Craig Lowndes.

Who will bugger up Adelaide and be behind all season long?

Castrol Perkins Racing as a team.


Who will just plain bugger up?

I can see, unfortunately, Briggs Motorsport having a shocker.

Who will complain the most?

TC, about lack of Government funding

Who will shockingly under perform?

Garry Rogers Motorsport as a team

Who will shockingly (?) over perform?

Lansvale and Team Kiwi

Can anyone beat TWR?

Yeah, on their day. Ambrose, Lowndes, Johnson and Radisich can, but whether they DO?

Who will be the best of the rest?

Max Wilson to be a surprise, Team Kiwi and Cam McLean and Cromley.
