... going on here? Radisich 20th in the points? Bright leading the SCS? (C)lowndes winning for Ford?
What on earth happened to V8 Supercars as we know it? At the risk of polling this one, who's gonna come out on top at the end of this year's Shell Championship Series? And don't just say Skaife because you can't spell Radisich... |

radi...radial...rat...rasid...SKAIFE !!!!!!
Paul seems to have found a liking to destroying brand new DJR cars Danielson..(oh boy have i dreamed of doing that ) this years series is up in the air..lowndes is doing well for a brand new team..we will see how well they do when their own car comes into play ??? HRT are still the benchmark as can be seen by Phillip Island..and the Castrol boys are still a tad beihnd. No idea who is gonna win..maybe Junior Johnson can get up for it..he seems pretty strong so far..but the main contenders would have to be Skaife and Lowndes...oh and Ambrose is doing rather well also. |

Skaife will win for sure. The shunt he had at Adelaide was fairly huge, i would be very surprised if it didn't put the chassis rail out of whack. Then not only being capable of going, but going on quickly, just shows you how much bloody luck that guy has....
I don't think anyone expected him to be winning, really that is incredible, i think before the start of the year, everyone would have said he was a top 10 chance at this time of the year...go Clowndes!! |

Is there any chance whatsoever of me seeing this Adelaide race? Anyway, I think HRT might just do it again, by what's happened so far in the series.
Is the competition too far behind already to mount a serious attack on the Championship? As much as I'd like to say Radisich, I think it could very well fall into the hands of an HRT driver - just for something new in V8 Supercars... |

Good one Eliphino,
It will be a Ford year, provided they don't take each other out. Seton or Lowndes or if he can get an indestructable car - Radisich. Skaife will be third overall. After all this rubbing the crystal balls are sore now, |

danielson....Hrt are still the benchmark..but i do believe that several teams have caught up to them and they wont have it all their own way...Gibson certainly are looking godd and DJR have the speed but the Rat is in serious need of points..Ambrose has been very good but consistancy will play a part there.
if ya wanna see then ..then come home boy..even winter in QLD would more enjoyable than the brits weather |

I was thinking more of a video tape of this year's race, elephino... OAF!!
So it would seem that the DJR Falcons are extremely quick, but - as ever - Radisich is not high on good luck. So you guys don't seem to think that HRT will dominate proceedings again...? |

Hoping is the word I think we are looking for ..
Ok they dominated Phillip island..but didnt run away with things at Adelaide..but they are sure gonna be tough to beat..and the team that does it will know they have been in a championship thats for sure..but we are hoping that HRT dont have things their own way for the rest of the year. |
