[V8DVS09R07] Fujitsu Series @ Homebush - Page 2

anthony81901 · 26 Nov 2009, 11:54 (Ref:2589617)

Is there a REC / franchise system in place in the Development Series? Have noticed that some new entrants at Homebush are using the same numbers as used by other entrants at other rounds.

A couple of new entrants:

Hayden Pullen in the 2nd Seiders car (chassis SER BA03)

Steve Owen in the 2nd TAG Motorsport car (HRT043)

James Winslow in the lead Jay Motorsport car (HRT049) with Garth Walden in the 2nd (TD001)

Ryan Hansford in an unidentified BA (possibly the ex Paul Little Racing car raced by Joel Spychala as #96 in 2008)

Mark Howard in the #444 Falcon, not sure if SBRBF1 raced by Karl Reindler as #444, or TE007 the Howard owned car Dean Canto raced in 2008

pete60 · 26 Nov 2009, 13:33 (Ref:2589670)

I would guess Hansford is running Rod Dawson's car built up from an ex WPS spare chassis. Howard would have to be in his own car (ex Canto) but using the former Reindler entry number.

David Seiders is using the Wyhoon/Image number.

There has never been any restriction on the champion coming back if they want to. In reality most have gone onto the main game which has then meant that they do not meet the eligibility requirements due to that.

YES there was!

I'm sure Mr Macrow (among others) would dispute your claim

**GTRMagic** · 30 Nov 2009, 02:11 (Ref:2591507)

Mr Owen isnt attending Homebush apparently

Mr Howard either

While Mr Walter is stepping back into #47 for a last hurrah

Look to a new driver for #60... it is allegedly not Mr Gaunt after some alleged contractual issues with his current team...

It is said that a driver who had Access to Cash may be in the seat!

ForumNick · 3 Dec 2009, 02:48 (Ref:2593197)

They must have... "Hollered" for him!!!

Mr Marshall in.

The funny thing is that some of those blokes making up the numbers think they are genuine contenders.

ForumNick · 4 Dec 2009, 09:25 (Ref:2593862)

Don't forget...
If it wasn't for 'those blokes making up the numbers'
There wouldn't be a series!!!

P1

I have to say, #60 sounded especially mean with Mr Marshall at the wheel...

P2

Combined

I "make up the numbers" in the series I race in and that is fine. I just dont have delusions that I should be up the front like some people do.

Hopefully your "making up the numbers" isnt quite as expensive as some

There are several drivers in the Fujitsu series field that need driver coaching and/or test days...

Mr White seems to be doing a good job in calming the stupid things that sometimes happen... very conciliatory and facilitatoresque... some competitors are hot heads on occasion

**GTRMagic** · 5 Dec 2009, 10:34 (Ref:2594371)

Q1

Mr Assaillit did well, so did Mr Marshall in an unfamiliar car

R1

I think some of mtpanorama's "numbers" had a DNF...

Why were they reduced to 17 laps???

Hopefully, NOT to allow for the "Entertainment" B.S. .

It will be interesting to watch the highlights next weekend, some of the chasing was genuinely entertaining..

To cut the 2nd race short by 5 laps is a total disgrace to the Fujitsu series and show what little respect the race organisers have for the series, the drivers, the car sponsers and the fans..and it was a good car race!!!
