**GTRMagic** · 20 Apr 2008, 08:21 (Ref:2181853)

Mr Tander's home turf....

... grip levels variable... not as good as in previous years as the sand impacts the surface....

... who will win??

M.Skaife

TSR · 20 Apr 2008, 08:34 (Ref:2181866)

GT would have to go in red hot favourite. And hopefully Jamie Wincup will came back with a huge bag full of points.Put tips in closer to the race.

Biggy G · 20 Apr 2008, 09:31 (Ref:2181907)

Tander to go 9 on the trot? Wouldnt be impossible would it?

Im going to go an outside shot and say Dumbrell to win the round

Well I'm off the turps tonight so little likelihood I'll get personal... but gawd blimey that is a shocker of a tip.

OK, I'll go an outside shot and say Stevie Johnson to win the round.

NOT!

Is that simply because Dumbrell is in the same chassis that won that round last year??

Pro Racer · 20 Apr 2008, 10:50 (Ref:2181967)

well you would have to think the WP jugganaut will go well with GT on top, i think Murph, CL and Whinky and Skaife will be out for redemption over the Hamilton round.

Exceler8 · 20 Apr 2008, 11:56 (Ref:2182023)

id have to say GT but from what i seen murph will be up there as will whincup lowndes and skaife and i think Both BOC cars could run top 10 consitently

F J Nedos · 21 Apr 2008, 05:33 (Ref:2182541)

Garf would be a special in WA. When you bring the car back from a flyaway street race and it doesn't have a mark on it, then you should be in good shape. It helps that he won all 3 races and is on a roll.

Jamie will be mighty p*ssed off about unzud, so he should be there or thereabouts. Lowndes will get 5th.

Even though I rate the follwing driver about as much as getting my private parts caught in a blender, Steven Richards could go OK in WA. Maybe he has been reading the most overrated drivers thread, he clearly outpaced Frosty. And I think he has good history at WA.

Silencer · 21 Apr 2008, 06:02 (Ref:2182547)

Last year it was a snore fest and I'm 100% certain Tander will do another clean sweet again, unfortunately.

Were you ment to say "another clean sweep again"

Have we got the word on the Whincup car? (sorry have not trolled though all threads or spent much time on the web / TV etc hence having to ask). It looked very messy from what I saw.

If he is in his regular beast my money is on Whincup. If he is in the spare my money is on Tander

Whincup will be in the spare.

Pro Racer · 21 Apr 2008, 08:03 (Ref:2182631)

i remember hearing on the TV i think it was neil that said that Roland told him if the new car is ready he will be in that if not #10 will be rolled out again.

Racenut7 · 21 Apr 2008, 22:50 (Ref:2183483)

Whincup has a new car in WA.

Yea just reading that in enews

My money is back on Whincup then

Tander would be favourite given the speed and consistency he has shown over the last few rounds. Doesn't mean he's certain for pole, though, which always adds another element to the speculation as we saw with S Richards at Hamilton.

It was also interesting to see that Skaife managed to stay out in front of Tander in Hamilton until Skaife had to pit... though I don't know if Tander knew that Skaife had to relinquish the lead at some point? My point is that Skaife still has raw speed but has trouble qualifying his car at the pointy end. If/when he does, he might be back at the winner's circle.

The thing I don't like about Barbagelo is that sand traps... veer off line or get into a tussle and the race is virtually over. I'm sure it will happen so expect the unexpected.

Racenut7 · 22 Apr 2008, 05:24 (Ref:2183615)

The 5 drivers to watch are
#1 Tander
#6 S.Richards
#88 Whincup
#4 Courtney
#888 Lowndes

peckstar · 22 Apr 2008, 08:36 (Ref:2183714)

no car 5 (leading ford driver in the championship) racenut

isnt this skaifes speacial track, (sort of like murph and pukehoe)

Racenut7 · 22 Apr 2008, 18:47 (Ref:2184285)

I go with Courtney

SSbaby · 23 Apr 2008, 10:29 (Ref:2184728)

Dumbrell is almost good enough to make me want to support Ford!!!

JackBlahBlah · 26 Apr 2008, 01:52 (Ref:2187062)

Can TKR Replace Kayne Scott With Chris Pither For The Rest Of the seson Chris did a great job for TKR at EC and should take the rains of the TKR BF Kayne Scott shouldn't be in the main game. he dosnt have the speed

Chris Pither For TKR BF In WA

Racenut7 · 26 Apr 2008, 08:33 (Ref:2187192)

Yes he could.
Kayne has no years in his contract.

deeks6 · 26 Apr 2008, 08:43 (Ref:2187206)

My tips are:

At some stage over the weekend Mums Boy will say "We're just looking for points to consolidate our Championship position ... thats our strategy, blah blah ..."

At some stage during a race, Crompton will say "carrying some pace" and "in the game"

There will be at least one unnecesary safety car.

Dumb-bell will hit something

What about "tyre pressures normalising" or "best of the dirty shirts" or "driver x is pioneering"

Reload · 26 Apr 2008, 09:04 (Ref:2187229)

Throw in "GT", "on the pace" and " quick off the truck".
