[V8SC08R06] Darwin (merged)

Hidden Valley here we come....

... well the V8Supercar circus anyway.

Any fresh ideas as to why one pilot and team is better than another pilot and team?

I suspect Mr Winterbottom will 3peat the event but we shall see what HRT comes back with, after a consistency-free season thus far....

In short -

At each event one driver or team has had their initial setup guess right on the money. Refinement has seen that setup guess become more educated while everybody else is still searching.

Where the team has 2 drivers capable of taking advantage of that setup, both drivers have been prominent. Where not..........

History suggests 888 and HRT/HSV will be prominent, recent form suggests that FPV will be thereabouts and both SBR and JDR are on the march forwards.

Quite where that leaves BJR & DJR is something TLA's* can't quite describe.

Watching paint dry, or the USA Golf Open is more exciting than the Hidden valley taxi rank. Wow, the supposed top cat in Aus Motorsport, racing a round a single lane track. As to who gets it, well who ever is on pole and gets the start.

I think watching rust grow, is more fun , the usual suspects will have the mid field crash and bash thru the turns.

I think I will mow the lawns.

Even the ovals seem to offer more exciting race finishes in Nascar. As much as I enjoy our V8's, I am enjoying the Nascars more. Even in the Nationwide series, you have 43 odd cars, and the winner can come from the back of the grid.

The more nascar I watch, the more boring the V8 Supercars seem. Maybe Darwin will be a corker this year.. We can only hope.

Being a bit parochial here I have to admit, but, it is narrow no argument however I would suggest there are 4 proven areas to overtake. There probably is another one as well if you really wanted to push the issue. As Rotorfan says if you are crafty enough to set the pass up it can be done. Now if they changed the rules so that if you didn't fart on someone you get a drive through then it opens even more up.

I like the Hidden Valley track, and I like that Australian tracks are narrow. There are opportunities to pass, you just need to be crafty enough to make them.

Isn't this the round that they are debuting the new Dunlop compound? Its supposed to have more grip. Will we see lap records beaten?
