[FV8SCSR07] Oran Park Fujitsu Series Final!

**GTRMagic** · 19 Oct 2008, 01:48 (Ref:2315569)

Can Mr Owen continue his run of top 5 finishes to take the title?

Or will Mr Canto lead from the front, and create a contest?

I would say Mr Owen is too far in front... but a mechanical failure, a scratch on the toy... and everything may change.

Mr Owen to win the title, if not the round

The 2 hot Tasman cars (i.e. not Mr Bergmuller) to be VERY quick.... but not win either...

Racenut7 · 19 Oct 2008, 02:16 (Ref:2315579)

To be correct

Steve Owen needs to finish 12th or better in race 1.
He will be champion.

One wonders if Mr Fernandez will make another appearence with RIM...

Pro Racer · 19 Oct 2008, 09:37 (Ref:2315751)

Steve Owen for the championship and round win to top it off.

One would hope after colliding with a teammate and crashing your car in a practice session, and then crashing out in Race 2 at Bathurst that this would not be the case.

I hope that Gene Rollinson is back in one of the seats for this round.

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I knew if I said something everyone would

...

One can only wait and see I guess...

PhaseIII · 19 Oct 2008, 10:18 (Ref:2315781)

Don't be holding your breath FA !!

Pro Racer · 19 Oct 2008, 15:17 (Ref:2315964)

no i think Jose deserves another go he hasn't hit everything yet, he needs to hit the safety car, although he does need to get close to it and not cause the safety car session to actually have a chance of doing that so no he can sit it out!

I agree GTR.
He is the class driver and has the best prepared car in the field. Scott and the crew should be very proud of what they have achieved and Steve has a lot to thank them for. He will romp away with the title.

Prickly_Goo · 20 Oct 2008, 20:17 (Ref:2316970)

I think Steve has the championship wrapped up already, if a scratch or a dnf on the car was to strike, he has a big enough points buffer back to Canto so it wouldnt really matter.

Canto on the other hand, needs to basically drive to impress if he wants another Main series drive next year.....

Pro.. I like your way of thinking.. hmmm one wonders if I should agree to such rubbish

Phase III, Im not holding me breath.. anything with JF shouldnt be taken seriously untill you see it!!

Oh how mean I am..

JustASupporter · 21 Oct 2008, 00:53 (Ref:2317159)

Wouldn't be surprised to see Owen take it easy just to maintain the lead. Canto will probably be the opposite. I'll say Canto takes the round win

I have found memories of Oran Park from my younger days and i will be making the trip up for this event as its the last time you will see racing there.

Not quite right Mr X, it may be the last time that the V8's or Fujitsu series run there but it will still hold state level meetings there including a round of the Shannons National series on August 29-30 in 2009.

DAVID PATERSON · 22 Oct 2008, 01:55 (Ref:2317994)

There'll be a few Historic & FoSC meetings there in 2009 as well.

The ad in AA for Mr Owen's VZ is interesting... says the car is available at Oran Park.. does that mean before, or after, the series is won by the driver?

Or has 'Gidget' made it out to play?

Couple of months ago there was an article in ENews stating that 'Gidget' was due to debut at OP with 'Earnhardt' to be raced by the son of its namesake Dale Earnhardt Jr, perhaps like most plans by overseas drivers to race in Oz it has not come off.

Pro Racer · 21 Nov 2008, 15:56 (Ref:2338965)

would be nice to see Earnhardt out here racing but aslong as Steve wins the championship i'm happy.

this was denied at the time by Dale and his managment and Paul Morriss think someone got their wires crossed at the time

Tony C · 25 Nov 2008, 01:46 (Ref:2341164)

Maybe the VZ is for sale to make way for the step into the main game? Might be the only way to keep the sponsor and the driver? Sillier ideas have been floated.

Pro Racer · 25 Nov 2008, 02:40 (Ref:2341177)

IIRC the VE is available in FV8's next year so could be just upgrading.

Prickly_Goo · 25 Nov 2008, 22:08 (Ref:2341726)

Also in AA there was a ad from TDR advertising for a driver with "a suitable budget" for the 09 Fujitsu Series.. Seems interesting considering Dave Reynolds is 3rd in the same car that won the series last year.... Does this mean that they will run entirely the same car next year??

I think this is going to be a good indicator of who is Championship material next season, if Steve Owen and Dean Canto get Main Game drives.

and Pro, IRCA are rumoured to be going Ford next year......which leaves.... nup doesnt matter....

Pro Racer · 26 Nov 2008, 03:50 (Ref:2341891)

i know they are going to Ford with SBR kit.

Prickly_Goo · 26 Nov 2008, 13:05 (Ref:2342092)

Well it's roughly a week out from the round and yet again VESA have no entry list out... will it be another one of those rounds where you have to wait till Prac Results?...

Should be interesting to see if our mate TBA pops up again....
