Veggie [iV8SC12R03&04] Tasmania Challenge 30 March-1 April

Its Tassie time... across in the Apple isle as the V8Supercar circus recovers from the hustle & bustle of the grand prix and ventures to the southern most round of the series

The big questions must be answered...

Will 888 have another less than stellar weekend for both cars?
Will James Courtney get through a race without A) Punting someone B) Damaging his steering or C) Both
Will BJR & LDM's crews actually make use of their hotel rooms instead of sleeping on a stack of tyres in the corner, whilst repairing their cars?

More seriously...

Will the FPR unlikely burst of speed continue? Can Mr Van Gisbergen keep up the rage for SBR in what might be their last season with Ford?

Lots of questions, answers coming in a few short weeks' time...

FPR have quite ofter had very fast if not the fastest cars on the grid, they just seemed to always find a way to shoot themselves in the foot on the pitwall or in the pits

Even thought there is no AFL on Channel 7 on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, the telecast on both days is on 7Mate.

Mr Van Gisbergen reckons that the orange is a bit more vibrant this weekend... The secret to his success? They are running with a banner on the bonnet for the boss of SP Tools who passed away recently...

While the basis of this livery is pretty good, it doesnt seem finished somehow... like the blend lines from one colour to another need a stripe of a neutral colour or something to separate them...

Allphones in red on a black background isnt their usual colour choice, the website has a white background and red lettering/logo which would likely stand out better. Toshiba looks better in white, contrasts its background better than the previous red..

The Norton graphics look ok as there is enough contrast between colours.

Allphones banner could do with a with a white keyline to make it pop.

Real test is how it looks in black and white newsprint.

Big weekend for Courtney. Biggest of his career IMO. Needs to put some results on the board after some poor results at Clipsal and AGP. No more excuses left
