If the track is fast and flowing Craig will feature as he had serious speed at PI last year. The 'unseen track' factor will put him up there as well as the real 'drivers' will get on top of it quickest and/or handle a less than perfect car if they can't get the setups right.
Rick was nowhere in China and Craig had speed as well - the battle with Skaife in Race 1 was a cracker as was the move on Ambrose at the end of the straight like he was standing still.
burnt clutch destroyed that weekend though - but he had speed.

The other advantage is Rick has said his new goal is now just finish top 5 - he obviously hasn't watched much sport when the leading team stops trying to won and starts trying to defend a lead - turn bad, fast. So by all means Ricky - please do!!

If Lowndes is going now i wonder how many reccie laps he'll get in a road car before the rest of them arrive

I will do my traditional round tip of John Bowe. He may sadly retire before he wins another round.

However Tim Edwards thinks, (and he would know) that the Bahrain circuit will be perfect for FPR as it is like the sweeping corners seen at Phillip Island at which FPR has extensive experience.

Winterbottom to win races (Bowe with his consistency to take the round). Bright to make another school boy error and his teammate will be riding shotgun. Tell me that is a conspiracy baby.

You seen the track map haven't you, about two sweeping corners and that's it.

Marcus Marshall will stun the world taking pole and all three race wins. He will then win the backing of a mysterious shaik and enter F1.

You're on drugs to even think that up

It does slow down the brain a bit. Makes it particularly hard at exam time.

Just out of curiosity (?spelling) I had a look at the weather for Bahrain.

Temp 27 degrees
Humidity 90%

Is that what the boys are in for?
Like having a race in sizzle's beloved Darwin in January!!!

greenracer · 16 Nov 2006, 03:00 (Ref:1767315)

I recall a race called BATHURST just a few months ago where a certain ford finished in front of a certain holden where supposedly the holden had more speed

Try it at the moment AP 37 deg and 90% humidity. I nearly made a mistake and left the aircon.

looks pretty fast and flowing to me barbagallo with complexity

billybanana · 16 Nov 2006, 05:19 (Ref:1767339)

Lots of straight line grunt reqd there. The Toll cars certainly have the edge in that dept of late.

Chatters · 16 Nov 2006, 06:17 (Ref:1767362)

Not terribly flowing, as I said there are only two or three sweepers.

Flameho · 16 Nov 2006, 07:06 (Ref:1767390)

Looks like it will be an exciting track, with Toll and FPR cars to shine with their grunt. Unless SBR get one of those new D headed jobbies into the 888 car...

Pro Racer · 16 Nov 2006, 09:41 (Ref:1767498)

looks like an exciting event comming up Toll,FPR and the Break Alot Racing Team will all be strong (if Break Alot Racing Team don't Break Alot).

barney551 · 16 Nov 2006, 10:17 (Ref:1767544)

why is everyone forgetting about 888!!!!

Clowndes showed enough pace in race trim to be a fair shot and hopefully they will do a bit more work and find that little extra when they get there.

discounting 888 is the new cool thing to do.

Larry Perkins’ all black Jack Daniel’s Commodores have deleted the sponsor’s brand name in respect of laws prohibiting alcohol advertising in Bahrain.

‘Jack Lives Here’ – a slogan used by the Jack Daniel’s company at stockists around Australia will adorn the bonnet, rear and sides of Perkins’ race Commodores for the Desert 400 on November 23-25

I think Paul Morris has a different sponsor for this race also.

Chatters · 16 Nov 2006, 11:26 (Ref:1767618)

Would make sense. I imagine it would be a subliminal style Sirromet advertisement similar to Ferrari in Formula 1.

I expect the track width to be quite wide and that assists in making it into a more flowing circuit.
