None of the races were really interesting. Having said that the GTS of Floyd did put on a show and provided the only entertainment in all three races, including punting one of the WRXs off the track.
He did come through the pack nicely in races 2 and 3.

... and it is well and truly down on the dickhead fan base as well. Seems to me that this is a large factor of motorsport success, particularly with any V8 class. :s6:
Seriously though, they are a fairly new team running a new car, so their results should improve over the season with more experience and data.

Clicky clicky here for previous ride! I still miss her!
The car was built in QLD and runs motec engine management. They got it off the boat and it wouldn't start. The temp was too cold and it wanted to get back to QLD as quick as possible.
Next once they got it to run the engine stuffed up and they had to fly a new head in.
Next the car hasn't been sorted since it ended up on its roof.
Next it seems they have a new car on the way and they don't care. Ok they do care they are just frustrated
Too many Evos and STIs there! This is the second round they humiliated the V8s! It's a fact.
Lap time for that T slow thing is not much faster than Damien White or Luff times! Trevor needs to put his right foot on the accelerator I reckon!
So why Holden is not having a few 255kw cars? scarrrred????One T against 3 GTS and a million STIs and EVOs is not gonna work.
And how about Loadsman SS? Did he win his battle against the Daihatsus and astras????where the h@@# the other XR8s they said they should have the new 220KW engines by this race!!!!Get it on Ford!!
I found this, comparo between stock and racing cars. Look what they done to the GTS to let the little cars be faster(Yes I'd rather be on Holden side than STI and EVO!!!)
Holden 1620kg, 6300rpm vs stock = 1795kg, 6500rpm
EVO 1435kg, 1.0bar, revs free (~7500) vs stock = ~1435kg, ~7200rpm
Mazda 1320kg, 0.7bar, revs free vs stock 1340kg, 0.8bar, ~7400rpm
Subaru 1273kg, 1.2bar, revs free vs stock 1345kg, 1.1bar, 7900rpm
Nissan 1255kg, 1.0bar, revs free vs stock 1350kg, 0.6bar, 7200rpm
Yeah right! 100kg less for the STI and revs happily free!
That's Bullshit.
1) BMW M3 should be kicking the arse of all of them.
2) Subaru WRX is fatter and slower with not as good handling as the EVO VI.
3) TE50 is heavier with less torque and power than GTS. Also costs 30 grand less too.
We need a GTHO to gobble this series up!
