In the photos of the set up at Ipswich, why do so many of the V8SC not have drivers doors fitted?

Is this something to do with being easier to travel?

yes. if the door is on, it's almost impossible to get in/out of the car when in the transporter.

They only slot into the hinge anyway, so it's no great hassle.

How can you say "life isn't good"??

He has a wife and two beautiful kids. I'd say life is grand.

I believe some blokes race fast after they are Dads. Most are slower.

Don't have foxtel so will have to wait for the highlights to see what happened to Pither - drop of 10 places is a fair way down - bit of a shame that.

Having the 3 cars at the front will make it sticky for 888 during the year

Mr Van Gisbergen said in the press conference that he had plenty of tyre at the end of this race, while the other 2 888-ers clearly didnt..

It will be fun..

I found it a little odd that Cauchi covered Ludo's early pit call for CL.

Fear of double stacking with the Jizz?

Concern about CL's pace?

Seems to me JW got the second rate strategy again.....

The relationship between Mr Whincup and Mr Cauchi is reportedly not all that rosey, compared to how things were when Mr Dutton was calling the shots.

Based on previous events, there appears to be a distinct lack of faith in Mr Cauchi's strategies, where Mr Whincup has famously second-guessed calls which have placed him in the position of double-stacking under green flag conditions, or needing a splash and dash late in the race. Things that were against team protocol. Having said that, it'd be might bold of me to lay blame with just one individual in the team. Mr Whincup did recently come out, off the back of the Townsville event, reporting that a calamity of backhouse errors needed to be rectified.
