As long as its a Ford I dont care. Going to be very interesting to see if Skaife has real pace. He certainly didn't at Phillip Island and he couldn't blame the car this time as Tander was quick in the same car............

Tander / Skaife. If a Ford is to win would like it to be Bright/ Marshall.

Anybody but Tander/Skaife or Rick 'my balls are in my stomach' Kelly. Oh and Greg Murphy too, but I don't think he is much of a risk...

 yeah I've had a bit to drink but I chuckled at the Rick comment. Jim BEAM Racing I hope so I can support one of my favourite drinks. When is Wild Turkey Racing going to start?

I dont think there is a standout team that has it in the bag at this stage. As said, anything WILL happen on the mountain.
However, I did pick 888 to win, but I will happily be proven wrong for FPR or DJR to take it out.

All the talk has been either Tander/Skaife or Lowndes/Whincup but I'll back the FPR pairings just to spice it up a bit.

Whincup/Lowndes look to be the best driver combo, Davison and Johnson are my dark Horse!

Bit hard to type through the tears of laughter about Bright/Marshall winning but I'll have a shake...
Lowndes/Whincup to win (there is no enduro pair in their stratosphere) and Lowndes SHOULD bring the car home. The 888 boys can maintain speed in their car longer than anyone else and having Whincup as your #2 driver sure means the down laps will be pretty shiny. You'd be a true optimist to believe anyone can beat them if they get a clean run. *touches wood* |

fpr will be let down by richo's lack of consistant pace. he just seems to have too many 'moments' and lacks the outright pace of frosty. djr will be strong as will sbr but i also think 888 are a cut above. look out for garry rogers to have the leading holden. |

This might sound a bit left of field, but I'm thinking Van gisbergen/Courtney might give
it a red hot go. Other than that I hope the 888 boys get thier hat trick!

Just praying for a Ford win as we gave the holden guys up there SO much crap last year after they dumped on us when it looked like skaife had won the top 10 shootout then got Pwn3d the rest of the weekend....
But my money is on the master (Lowndes) and I'm convinced he'll bring it home if the car holds up.. but then there's always cap'n crunch and his fellow brothers of destruction to mess everything up. Basically all I'm saying is BRING IT ON! |
