McConville stuffed it into the wall at turn 3 or thereabouts on his out lap.

Yeah - he put all four wheels across the apex kerb at turn 4. Cut the corner fully - cromley picked up on it straight away. Silly boy Frosty.

Does anyone have some ideas on potential "next Ambroses" Ford could recruit? Holdsworth - overlooked for HRT drive?, Russell or Moffat blitzing the development series? the always quick Steve Owen a potential star?, Johnny Reid from across the ditch? Some overlooked by F1 and run out of cash GP2 top driver or Le Mans ace perhaps? Matt Neal?

One thing I have noticed is Jeld-Wen and Stegbar plastered all over JC's helmet and Jim Beam on Will Davison's helmet. Do they still retain some personal sponsorship, or are they waiting for their new helmet + new artwork to arrive from the artist?

same as Frosty, 'Kerb hopping'.

Now I really like Frosty, but the lad needs to eat a bag of cement and harden up abit.

If they wait till December they might find an ultra-fit, lanky ex-Queanbeyan resident, looking for a secure future career in warmer climes than he is used to in Buckinghamshire.

Because, (sadly) even if the car is fast, I feel he will be smoked by his team mate.....

V8SC, here he comes (maybe)

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Steve had a 5 year deal.

Or is this 5 year deal a 3 year with a 2 year option??

Lowndesy's Ford/888 contract ends this year too. Craig may wish to continue an association with a manufacturer rather than a 'Hog'.

So is Kerb hopping back on the enganda? How wide do we make a rack?

If you Kirb hop, you risk damage to tyres, damage to the dreaded watts linkage, damage to a p**** bolt.

Why risk kerb hopping?

"THe cars great, I'LL look after it as I go around"

Then the visor drops and all common sense disapears

Ahh drivers, don't you just love them?

I would rather a bottle in front of me , than a frontal labbotomy.

It goes without saying the 750000 is an absurd salary really for any V8 Supercar driver, unless they dominate the series and the publicity is worth it. Maybe the performance would be better with a 250000 driver and 500000 worth of extra go-fast widgets with the remainder?
