rustyfan · 17 Apr 2002, 16:23 (Ref:263218)

The Super2000 will be very interesting indeed this year - the Volvo looks awesome (am I biased, nooo lol)

rustyfan · 17 Apr 2002, 16:29 (Ref:263223)

BMW & Alfa Romeo looks real nice too - had only seen some photos of the BMW before, so it was nice seeing them on track during some testing

Speedworx · 17 Apr 2002, 17:51 (Ref:263341)

Volvo = yuk!

Alfa = nice

BMW = the best looking.

I get Autosport a week late down here in Australia.
Can you tell me whether Autosport have done a ETCC preview in this weeks edition? I hope they have. They should have.

rdjones · 18 Apr 2002, 11:42 (Ref:263842)

They sure have, there is a two page preview of the ETCC and Two pages on the FIA-GT's

D.R.T. · 18 Apr 2002, 14:26 (Ref:264040)

All the Super2000 cars look great, can't wait untill the races begins. Go the Volvo's

Speedworx · 18 Apr 2002, 18:55 (Ref:264197)

Nissan could be a dark horse for the title.

Michael H · 19 Apr 2002, 10:55 (Ref:264712)

DRT - make sure you let the media know here in Australia about the ETCC. Send them emails, etc. I am.

racerguy · 19 Apr 2002, 18:47 (Ref:265036)

Giovanardi was fastest in testing, with the fastest BMW over half a second off behind two other Alfas. Are there weight penalties in ETCC?

Mocko · 19 Apr 2002, 19:07 (Ref:265051)

Nissan my @r$€.

It's either BMW, Alfa or maybe Volvo.

rustyfan · 20 Apr 2002, 10:07 (Ref:265556)

I wouldn't be surprised to see Nissan & Volvo right up there during the latter part of the season, but from the beginning I think BMW and Alfa Romeo will be the ones sluggin' it out for the wins.

racer69 · 20 Apr 2002, 12:05 (Ref:265605)

I reckon BMW vs Alfa in the early rounds. Volvo will get more competitive as the year goes on, Rustad could be a darkhorse for some wins in the Nissan, but i don't think the championship.

Michael H · 20 Apr 2002, 12:23 (Ref:265618)

I reckon it will be so competitive we won't know who to predict. I think Fabrizio de Simone is very motivated to do well for team boss Ravaglia.

Speedworx · 20 Apr 2002, 18:24 (Ref:265782)

Here is the top 8 on the grid:

1 F.Giovanardi
2 N.Larini
3 D.Muller
4 P.Ruberti
5 T.Ferrier (Nice one)
6 T.Rustad
7 J.Muller
8 R.Rydell

You all seem to be forgetting about Honda.

Granted its not a full works entry but they might surprise a few people later on in the season

Speedworx · 20 Apr 2002, 19:53 (Ref:265831)

I don't think so!

They need to improve by a HUGE amount. Only one made it into qualifying at Magny-Cours and it was last.

TheLeader · 25 Apr 2002, 11:02 (Ref:270217)

Good to see Tom Ferrier getting right up there. Beatin Kox and Morbidelli etc aint too bad dont you think??!!

Don't forget that Honda don't have their proper car ready yet- that was an interim car that is basically Super Production spec, so was always going to be well off the pace- the proper cars should be out for Silverstone. It may take them a while to get sorted, but I wouldn't count them out just yet....
