HYL Gets A New Driver - Page 2

Just Do It! · 29 Dec 2003, 10:05 (Ref:822451)

Now now, what do you race??

sevi · 29 Dec 2003, 11:12 (Ref:822486)

JDI, a driver from the main game can only go to Konica if they finish higher then 25th position. Thexton would no longer be able to run in both, and as he has a level 2 he has to go back to the main game.

Just Do It! · 29 Dec 2003, 11:24 (Ref:822492)

Higher than 25th?? :-S

Peter Walsh · 29 Dec 2003, 19:30 (Ref:822746)

The Thex is sorted.He is doing the NZ series so he can get to come 15th over here.He'll learn plenty about panel damage in the middle of our field.

**GTRMagic** · 29 Dec 2003, 19:59 (Ref:822767)

Thexton could run both, he finished in the 30s, just like Whincup who finished 27th....

Just Do It! · 29 Dec 2003, 22:03 (Ref:822891)

So Sevi mis-typed?

**GTRMagic** · 29 Dec 2003, 22:05 (Ref:822893)

"Higher" numercially as opposed to championship position...

27th being higher than 25th numerically but worse position-wise....

Got you that time. Thanks

And when will people realise that FFord teaches drivers as many bad habits as good? Whincup, like so many others straight out of FFord need something in between to give them a better grasp of aero grip, slick tyres, faster lap times, etc.

They just aren't the be all and end all of "training grounds" that's for sure.

I think its great if Holden are supporting their younger drivers instead of just leaving them out to dry. There are a few contenders who would all be relevant for the second seat, but I think thats up to the HYL jury to decide.

In regards to the above comment from Chucky re FFords not being the "be all and end all" - sure thing, I think everyone seems to forget that we have a premier FHolden class that is dwindling in numbers due to lack of support. Perhaps Holden can put some pennies back into this category and support our boys who'd like to continue open wheeler racing in Australia in a class equivalent to European F3000 and not take their money off shore to race in categories. That way we can see our own home grown talent race in front of us like the good old days of only a few years ago!

I'd love to watch a FHolden (or whatever it's called) race, but only if it's a decent race with a good number of decent cars and drivers.
Those essential ingredients aren't all there at the moment.

**GTRMagic** · 30 Dec 2003, 00:24 (Ref:823060)

The F3 teams running Speiss-Opel engines are quite proud to call their powerplants Holdens....

pete55 · 30 Dec 2003, 00:30 (Ref:823063)

BRM does anyway.

**gomick** · 30 Dec 2003, 11:06 (Ref:823438)

poor thexton - he does deserve recognition.... he will be the last of older drivers who came from nowhere and race v8 supercars

- how old is the "thexter" by the way

.... hope he aint 21 or 22

Don't we all? Everyone's guilty at some point. Are you putting Racefax together over the holiday season so Mr Whitlock can have a break or does his publication stop for a break too??

Peter Walsh · 31 Dec 2003, 02:16 (Ref:824144)

I think the Thex is 47

**GTRMagic** · 31 Dec 2003, 05:29 (Ref:824237)

Born 04/02/1958 according to the www.v8supercar.com.au website... which puts him at 45 right about now...

And we cant even really call him a Kiwi... actually he is a Pom by birth!

Zinger · 31 Dec 2003, 07:57 (Ref:824281)

What happened to his Pespi sponsorship deal, I thought it was a bit odd when he sold his business to coke.

**GTRMagic** · 31 Dec 2003, 08:00 (Ref:824284)

Coke had a bit to say about the Pepsi deal apparently, so it disappeared off the radar....

Coke in some ways are like the mafia.. do a deal with them, and your childrens children will be doing deals with them, like it or not

Zinger · 31 Dec 2003, 08:06 (Ref:824290)

Wow I drink coke but often experiment with Pepsi every now and then. Maffa, I think I may just stick to coke from now on.

Hey all,

Umm I'm new here and was greatly enjoying this thread (and the forums)... who is Mr Whitlock?

Is that a V8 association? Little help

**GTRMagic** · 31 Dec 2003, 08:31 (Ref:824312)

Welcome to 10/10ths Stevo...

Mr Whitlock produces a news journal known as RaceFax, where he presents a number of different pieces of information about people, teams, drivers, sponsors, races, laptimes, crews and the like onto one document.

Its not cheap to subscribe. I dont, as I know the subscribers on here will soon enough throw the info on here anyways

Or I will beat them to it

That explains why he is taking his parents to court

Just Do It! · 3 Jan 2004, 09:57 (Ref:826341)

Sevi, it was truly in jest too. If offence was taken, humblest sorries.

I am no one's alter ego - I am not even married!
