2013 Predictions?!

So with new cars, new aero & new rules, does anyone think there'll be a shake up?

Here are my predictions -

888 - will still be the benchmark, FPR still right there

HRT/Supercheap will surprise

DJR will fold by the end of the year (although I truly hope not!)

Tekno will be fast but lots of panel beater bills!

The Mercs will win at least one race

The Nissans will struggle, with Caruso the quickest

Premat will be a lot more competitive, as will most of the imports come Gold Coast..

Alex Davison, Coulthard, & Engal will surprise..

There's my crystal ball..

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Mercedes will be on the podium and probably the top step at Clipsal

T 8 to win another championship.
FPR to be less successful than last year.
Techno with the Giz to be up near the front of the field.
A few surprise results in the first half of the year as teams come to terms with the COTF.
Expect Mercedes to start out ahead of Nissan but Nissan will catch up to Mercedes as the year progresses. Both may get a win or podium during the year.
Parity to be an issue.

The Kellys will whinge about parity, while Erebus will take it on the chin, knuckle down, and deal with it.

I got shot down about 6 months ago for saying that word P A R I T Y in the COTF Thread.


I was told that as we all had the same COTF design bla bla bla there should be no issues.

This is racing for Sheep Stations now expect the word to be thrown around by end of round 2 of the Championship.

Either Nissan or AMG will win their first race under the cloud of a dubious safety car decision.

Hasn't it already been thrown round with the Nissans requesting more revs?

ROFL

I was actually thinking Team Skoda...

But yeah, I have no doubt that parity will be an issue, just remember folks it was a good 5 years or so of the original v8 Supercar formula before they found an agreeable parity....
