at least they have kept us in suspense and haven't published the photos with the driver names on the window...

oh wait i don't watch it, there is no suspense...

You just know they are going to pick Andrew Jordan.

Biggy G · 26 Sep 2011, 01:12 (Ref:2960928)

lol, livery doesn't even match the "Super secret sneak peek" we got a few weeks ago!

Just Do It! · 26 Sep 2011, 01:40 (Ref:2960935)

That's how you keep it top secret

Castrol Joins SSS

And Mr Denyer's backers in CrimSafe... all we need is Just Cuts and Summit Fleet Leasing and its a full set

The Mars logo on the drawing looks better than in the real pic, the size is still wrong for the space allotted however.. easily fixed with a stretch of the logo design

A golden rule in graphic design is you don't compromise branding standards by distorting logos. That won't fix the problem anyway because the livery is just awful.

Something in that?

And so it is......... Waters is gonna s**t himself next weekend.

Bad choice IMHO, but living in the Kelly's hometown comes with perks i guess.

And Cameron leading the Australian Formula Ford Championship must be one of those perks.

peckstar · 2 Oct 2011, 09:04 (Ref:2964248)

yeah, rembering another young, but not quite so young, bloke, he was the FF champion and he carved up the field in his debut bathurst pulling off an awesome pass for the lead late in the race.

Good luck to cameron, hope he makes the cut off and hope he keeps it off the wall

**GTRMagic** · 2 Oct 2011, 09:37 (Ref:2964256)

A chance to take over #16 in 2012?

David Towe · 2 Oct 2011, 10:17 (Ref:2964268)

Waters seemed very focussed and aware of the opportunity offered to him in getting through to the final two, will he surprise everyone and do a good job?? God knows, but he's surely in for the steepest learning curve in Australian motor racing history. It would have been interesting to know the lap times, but perhaps more important, knowing the number of laps they did and how consistent they were.

Stepping from a spindly little FF to a V8SC is not a walk in the park. One of us is going to be eating humble pie next weekend.... that is for certain.

Waters would not be in the same postcode as Lowndes in terms of talent at the same point in their respective careers.....

Exactly. Massive ask....... and even the Kelly Bros. said more than once in the series that he's a bit ragged and could be smoother. I hope he's got a dial to reign in the aggression. Only 2 sessions in a V8SC then off to the most challenging circuit in the country? Madness.

Story Here

Anyone else notice the website is down too?

**GTRMagic** · 2 Oct 2011, 23:07 (Ref:2964524)

Ok... so who smacked the rear of the car against something? Or have the Mr Kellys been out 'practicing' with their stablemate

**GTRMagic** · 2 Oct 2011, 23:19 (Ref:2964528)

At least this pairing wont have to move the seat during a pitstop...

Which Midget will "wear the shiny off of it" first ?

bosco · 3 Oct 2011, 00:30 (Ref:2964544)

Based on the speed of Mr Mostert, the 2010 national Formula Ford champion, in the Fujitsu series at the Mountain, it isnt likely that Mr Waters will not have sufficient pace to qualify.

The real challenge in putting 2 effective rookies together (and with Mr Denyer out of the seat for so long, he is almost a born again rookie...) is that there isnt a guiding hand to help fine tune the car to get it set 'right' for a whole day of Sunday running.

The inexperience will also be telling when the cars are full of fuel and on fresh tyres, on having to adapt braking markers for the heavier car... tis arguably easier to drive a car on new slicks and no juice in the tail rather than a car with a couple of hundred clicks on it already, worn rubber, worn brakes... engine flattening off... and the buzzing of 28 other maniacs trying to occupy the same piece of road as you...

We shall see what happens...

... but it looks for all the world that it may be an audition for #16 for 2012

PVDA · 3 Oct 2011, 01:30 (Ref:2964550)

Does anyone know if he has had the required number of events to get the Stewards observations and signatures for his licence considering it's an International level event??

Given that the entry has been accepted with those 2 pilots listed, you would have to presume that the licences are in order...
