Speed Kills should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
FPR's weekend

I havent seen any comments yet on FPR's results from the weekend. No podium's, but they are starting to come good with some real pace and reliability. It was unfortunate about CL clipping the tyres (twice) and ending his day, but up to that point they were very threatening. Is this the start of something BIG, and is Not So looking very good again for next year?

I'm getting the feeling CL will be sorry next year.....

Looks like the hard work has already been done for Bright!

I wondered if the FPR guys may have departed a year to soon now they have an Aussie Engine rebuilder onboard. They have the pace, but remembered back to the Bathurst Check the fuel and fill the oil tank saga.

I don't care how well FPR goes next year!!! BOTH Seto & Lowndes are better off for leaving FPR! They are fools all round...

Go DJR/Seto & 888/Lowndes for 2005!!

But Mr Lowndes goes to a team where the Pom is always right, which is what he just escaped from.... broken suspension bits are not fun... might work on an Astra 2 litre car, but not a heavy V8...

Joe you might care if both cars end up higher in the standings then Mr Lowdnes and Mr Seton.

Right now those odds look pretty good.

!!!WRONG!!!

As a Seto Fan I still can't believe how bad FPR management have treated Seto over the last 2 years... I'm very very very glad Seto is going to DJR.. And I don't care if FPR win the championship & DJR come last.. I'll still be happy!!

And lets not forget Seto was not given much choice in his decision to leave!!

Lowndes is a bit of a different story.. FPR have treated him like God & it was completely his choice to leave... So I might feel a little sorry for Lowndes, but not Seto... Seto in my books has already won for 2005 for leaving FPR!!

No I won't forget FPR effectively sacked Glenn however you can't be a Seton fan if you would rather see him finish last in the standings. I want him in the best equipment and the best chance of winning if that was FPR then so be it. If your beef is the way he was treated I have bad news for you. Dick Johnson isn't a rose.

I understand your sentiment though.

888 are starting to ramp up the speed don't worry about that - Radisich actually had a blinder, pity we didn't get to see any of it - and they don't even have the 'real' engines in yet. Expect plenty of horses from the two guys who gave the stones what they have now along with a new chassis - and don't forget CL is worth 4 or 5 10ths anyway
