Nothing to do with masking. Using a mid lap timing marker, to gather a full lap of data and avoiding in and out laps. Most if not all teams were doing it.

Forgot Davo is basically a (customer) Tickford driver so a bit of success and experience there, Kelly racing looked reasonable today but little conclusions can be drawn from the "Supertest".

Gaz170 should be qualifying in the top 3 on the gridGaz170 should be qualifying in the top 3 on the gridGaz170 should be qualifying in the top 3 on the grid
My Conclusions:
888 - Business as usual
DJRTP - not willing to show their hand yet
WAU - Probably better than last year, at least for car 25.
Erebus - same same
Tickford - need to build some new chassis, rather than fix up old ones. expect same mediocre effort this year.
23Red - see Tickford
Kelly - Will struggle initially but should come on stronger as the season progresses.
Tekno/Sydney - no idea, likely mid pack at best
Irwin/DeWalt - best of the rest?
MSR - done themselves no favours by filling seats with rookies. May be a long and expensive year for them.
BJR - May snag the odd podium (particularly Percat) but otherwise just making up the numbers.

Boost now sponsor of Courtney car.

The same company that dumped Tander because he was too old now sponsors the oldest driver on the grid.

So how much of the coke deal was Seamer doing a short term deal with a series partner to avoid a sponsorless Team Sydney car?

Peter Adderton is a joke. If he came knocking at my door waving the cheque book, I'd kick his arse straight to the curb. No certainty in him.

I'd change my name to Boost and call him daddy if he paid for me to race cars.

Until he changes his mind of some whim and totally contradicts what he told you the last time he spoke.

He's far too shallow and flakey for someone to be able to run a team on his sponsorship "arrangement" with any degree of certainty that the next cheque will actually turn up.... Smells very much like a few other people over the years, charges in all guns blazing making all sorts of big promises, then blaming all in sundry when he can't keep those promises, then disappearing in a trail of unpaid invoices and ****ed off people.....

I'd love it if he proved me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen any time soon

So much for the Courtney Coke car then?

And if Boost want youth why not the younger driver?

None of this makes any sense.

Holden Gone he jumps ship too and says thanks for the memories and starts his career with RBR in management

or

Stays on board with the possible excitement of entering with a NEW Brand vehicle. Mind you do you think RBR will ditch the Commodore years end, I think they may want to hang on 1 more year.
