Nice job by Mr Mostert. 10 winners from 16 races! Who said this category was boringly predictable

It was "boringly predictable" but has somehow livened up........FPR have caught up to T8 by improving their tyre durability.......FPR doing a sterling job under Mr Nash and likewise GRM.

13 race winners during 2013 - not THAT predictable surely. No doubt that it feels more open over the last few races, 888 not as sharp as they've been or have FPR stepped up (or both)?

With wildcards like GRM right there as well, it's good right now.

An additional steering sensor apparently, put there apparently with the approval of V8SC, on the proviso the data wasnt logged from both sensors

Seems odd...

The commentators (Skaifey??) mentioned they were "waving" to each other.

It actually equates to 6 and a half tenths, which is an enormous margin.

I don't really understand why the commentators were lauding Mostert's win so much, and more or less dismissing his first win with DJR last year.

Surely a win in the DJR car was harder and more meritoroius than a win in an FPR car.

Or indeed how many times Mr Skaife mentioned that FPR was a '...factory Ford team...' which seemed to be trying to lever something to happen... a contract extension perhaps?

And he also managed on a few occasions to mention that the Red Bull cars were the factory Holden team , that caught me off guard a bit .
