Is it tony's time ???

has he finally got things together enough to start making his way back to the front of the grid?

when he was with BMW he was brilliant ..but after joining the V8 brigade he hasnt really done as well as has been expected especially the last few years..but this year things are looking a little better for Tony..he has managed to land a ride with Rod nash's team ..allthough not a top team..they seem to be doing well and Adelaide was a good weekend for them...Tony is also in the line for a very good ride for the enduro's possibly with HRT or another top team.

I was a fan of Tony's when he was in the Bimmer but sadly running his own team was not a very good excercise for him in V8's and then what a disaster joining the Stone brothers team was for him.

can he produce the goods to prove he is worthy of a top ride in V8's again ?

Tony really didn't do too badly last year....just that his bad performances out did the good ones. Also with the expectation that he had the best Ford on the grid, so I don't know if it was a lack of motivation on Tony's behlf, or there was something missing from the combination. But then again, remeber his performance at QR and Bathurst in the enduros..

I don't think Tony will go as well this weekend, over 250km a good driver will come to the front in a bad car, with some luck and good calls on pit work. In a 45 minute race there probably wont be enough time to overcome his car. Time will tell.
