Frosty or Chaz ?
With Prodrive doing the business at this point and appearing to be in with a genuine shot at winning this years Championship, it would seem that Chaz and Frosty will be right in the mix at years end. Whilst they both may be in contention, which 1 of them would you want your money on and why ?

Frosty. Chaz might be one or two years away from having the consistency to win a title, just look at Adelaide...

They've both got a history of choking when playing the long game.
The team has been effectively been built around Winterbottom, but at the same time, there's been some heavy investment in Mostert's development as a driver, and as a personality. One way or the other, one of them is going to have to knuckle-down, and get a gap over the other on points, to set their pecking order in the team in the best possible place it can be. |

It looks like Mr Mostert, in concert with Mr De Borre, can keep establishing conpetitive race setups for Mr Winterbottom to follow..
You might have said Mr Mostert is a bit far back in the points just now, but things can always change in a single weekend |

Not the first time the Mostert/De Borre combination have lead the way in setup.

Whoops, that won't help the argument for Chaz.

I think Chaz is still a year or two away from winning a championship. Cannot be too critical of his mistake today. Just part of the learning curve racing at the pointy end of the field. A couple more years and he will not be making those types of mistakes. He already has the speed so that's the main thing.

Chaz fan, reckon without his two major stuff ups this year (today and Clipsal last lap) he would be leading the championship.
But he is not leading the championship because of these silly little errors which i will put down to he is still learning. So thus Frosty it is to win this years championship if it is going to be one of them |

2014 was only 6 months ago gents...I remember Frosty being in a very solid position, Whincup struggling a little by his measure (going well by 25 other drivers measure though). Tis a long season, and 888 will not lay down.
The elephant in the room if the current status quo remains between the 5 and the 6 (very Nascar of me), will be if team orders are required in the back half of the season...way to early at this time though. Multi 56 ? |

Chaz looked so good on the weekend and it was pretty heartbreaking to see him make such a small mistake and pay so dearly, but that is racing.
Frosty seems to be picking up the pieces really well in the way that champions often do. Whether PRA can keep it up is a very interesting question. It also seems at the moment both PRA and both 888 drivers are taking points off each other... Could this open the door for someone else? Also - people say that PRA hasn't typically been strong in the enduros, but they have won the last 2 Bathursts on the trot. |

still saying frosty, but suddenly his lead is not as big. shows how quickly it can turn around. Chaz could be leading after the next round

What do we think of the enduro pairings?
Mr Mostert's is arguably more aggressive, more risky than the one in #5 |
