It was in the current issue at the start of the PCOTY story where they were describing how the locals at a country town all wanted to see only the GTS.....dunno why....:cursethis
4 fords in the top 10..
Holden can get away with anything, and where the hell are Ford Performance Racing. 3 Cars millions of money what an embarrasment. Congrats to Ambrose,Rusty Steve Johnson(who deserves it after a hard year) and Bowie.
Lets hope we can beat them in the race and kick that pr**k bright out of the race
One question regarding bright.
How the hell can he bring Team Brock form dead last(well close enough), last year to front row of the grid every race this year? Surely it can't be just Brights skill?
So what do we expect??
Let's see - we've had 1 day of official testing for the BA's plus the Melbourne "exhibition" and then the lead up to this race.
Do we really think these things are going to be quick out of the box?
Personally I am well pleased with the reults from DJR and I suspect that FPR have been concentrating on race set-up rather than qualifying trim - I guess we will know by this time tomorrow.
Took the time to chat to a couple of the FPR engineers today and they seemed a lot happier than I thought they would be.
Exactly right about Bright.
The car is his HRT machine from last season so he should be up the front, having a good knowledge of the car is very helpful early in the season.
Sorry but you've gotta be shitting me. These guys have just expanded from a one car 9 person outfit to a 3 car 30 people outfit & you're dissapointed with a first up qualifying result? Give the team a chance. Geez.. :whoaa:
Thanks for the info. My weekend just got freed up. I won't bother watching race one with 4 cars that shouldnt be there starting in the top 10.
Yes I know its early days for FPR, but they sat on their hands for 5 years instead of doing something about Holden's dominance. I'm tired of waiting for HRO to be challenged.
I am impressed with Seto's performance hopefully he can have some luck and get a good result.
FPR have never said they are going to win straight away they have a plan of progressing upto the HRT's level. Remember this is a very competitive series and Seto's team wasn't exactly setting the world on fire last year.
I would love to see it actually, I know the teams would never wear it but imagine:
take Mark and put him in the leading Ford and the leading Ford driver (whoever it might be for the year) put him in the HRT car. Run the cars in a twenty lap race, I hate to say it but the Ford would probably be a little bit quicker and the HRT car would still be the winner.
Yes I want the Holden's arses well and truely beaten, The Ford's will be closer this year but I still think the best is yet to come.
Talk about jump the gun!! :shifty:
Seriously, not being rude but what the F**K do you expect??
The BA is not a wellknown racer yet, these boys are adjusting from their old AU's. Remember this is a big change in aerodynamics, Shouldn't we wait a while before we start bitching about how HRO are going to dominate this season?.
You guys need to think about the situation before you start ripping everyone off.
give it time peoples. not much testing has been done on these new BA's. the agp was a test session. tell you the truth i am suprised with russell ingall, very quick for someone in a new team, car, and brand. its a long race anything can happen. GO FORD!!!
It was in the current issue at the start of the PCOTY story where they were describing how the locals at a country town all wanted to see only the GTS.....dunno why....:cursethis
Exactly!!!! Especially if there is a $350k+ SL55 AMG and $200k+ E55 AMG and Bozster S present at the same time. Why the hell would I want to even bother with that overplasticsised POS?!??
Don't laugh about Skaife in a Ford because as we have seen in the last few years anyone can Jump ship if they arn't happy where they are, I mean even Brock drove a Ford for a while!!
Yeah I know FPR have just started and they need time. I was jussed a bit pissed about HRO getting pole again.
