Let's face it, he did such a good job coming in cold last year, this year he'd be better in the enduros. I'd say he'd be disappointed if he wasn't top 10 in this year's title.

The Fujitsu series looks like being a bottler. Probably will be more different winners than in the main championship. Holden appear to have a stronger pressence this year too, which can only make the series more interesting.

If Smiths treat the car like the trucks then a competitive edge will be there.
 But money plays a part !! |

Sure, but surely everyone is expecting big results to justify these main series claims...
Was it Owen Kelly who punted around a Gibson motorsport built Smiths Trucks car to good results? |

Its nice to see Nathan getting a decent shot, as Pete said the Fujitsu series should be worth watching.

Well he has one at Bathurst, and generally always in the top 10.

its basically the only track he has driven at in the V8's for the past few years (as well as sandown) so I guess he is more of a Bathurst speciallist than a Barbagallo speciallist if you get what I mean ?
