they finished 5th last year.

JB was in the car late, and was passed by CL in his haste to get the win, Car just didnt have the speed at the end.

I cant see them having gained the speed to be fast at the end this year, unless they get a bit lucky, they certainly didnt have it at Sandown

Might have had a bit more left if JB didn't have to drive the wheels off the thing to get it back in contention...

Tell him 'es dreaming. With Richo as codriver.........no way. fpr will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory/a good position.

Remember richos ride throught the chase? Or frosty coasting into the pits with the taillights melting ( pure gold )

FPR have in the past invented new and interesting ways to lose the race, and I thought they had started to shake that, but then look at what they did to #6 and #55 at Sandown!

Are you refering to '07 with that Chase comment? Becuase Winterbottom was at the wheel at the time. I'm a Richards sceptic (aren't we all..), but he still did pretty well at Sandown.

statistics are just a bunch of numbers , and these records are meant to be broken.. as Peck said Only 2 Weeks away..And just cannot wait for this, the world is definalty watching and hopefully It'll be a good race and one that another manufacturer should and will win, coz its about time! and no better time to find some form after Sandown.

#5 Frosty All the WAY!!!

With the WP/LDM/Kelly car having Fuchs sponsorship on it, could we see the oil and fluids giant with the main Kelly team next year?

Unlikely, as they didn't seem interested in big sponsorship when they at Tasman Motorsport

Hey Marcos, enjoy yourself down the mount. If you're staying at the bottom of the mountain, there is a bus near merchandise alley/entry if I remember correctly that'll take you up to the top. It's brilliant at the top of Skyline to the end of Forest Elbow. (Just a word of warning, the walk up the hill from Forest Elbow lookout to Skyline is an almost 90 degree incline)

Nice colour.. wonder why Norton agreed to give up that much signage space for a brand that OneSteel-Arrium dont seem to even list on their website...

Beautiful livery, but do you know what I think is the best part about it?

A proper number, on a proper background, in the proper place.

Surprised to see Moffat with the #17 instead of Johnson.

It was a Norton thing.

Not sure why they needed to add the othe period sponsors.

Painting it blue, and simply sticking Norton on the sides would've had the same effect.

Then again, I supposed it appeals to those with limited imaginations.

Just a thought, this car is likely to get a LOT more coverage on the TV because of its retro colour scheme / sponsors

Norton come out looking like good guys

I am just assuming here, but it looks like Jim Beam didn't want to come to the party with the livery change, as it would of been a much better look to have Johnson on the window
