2009 V8 Supercar Thread

[djr81]

Well the roughie that just may get up this year is.....djr. They have signed some more good sponsors (some razor blade mob & 3 mobile), got a couple of 888 chassis on order, some rough head called Courtney to drive for them so they should be set for a good year.

As a side interest it will be interesting to see how the two Davo's go. One up against the yocal hero Tander at HRT & the other against Jason Bright.

Of the Holden teams, maybe HRT will return to form but in all honesty it is hard to see any others making an big impact. The Kelly outfit will be too new

Sprint Gas will doubtless blow hot & cold again

The Jones brothers may step up with Richards on board (Providing they can find the wherewithall to spend the dollars necessary to run Walkinshaws wagons)

Maybe Ingalls Indian summer will continue.

Of the Ford teams, well FPVs form is harder to pick than a broken nose.

888 will doubtless be strong.

DJR are on the up.

Stone brothers may well improve with Bright there to help set the things up.

Be interesting to see how Paul Cruickshanks team get on also.

The serious money is on Tony Cohrant continuing to carry on as his name suggests.

BRIGHTY'S the man for 09 he gave them a spankin at the test day late last year, now he doesnt have to worry about running a team and were the moneys comin from he'll have a clear head and will want to prove a point.

Go JB you mad arse mother f*cker

P.S and yes I did use to work for him but the mans got skills

[benm]

It's been sooo long since Brighty had a good car that I doubt he would know what to do with it...

[Russman]

So of the front runners last year who is staying where they are? Tander, Lowndes, Winterbottom. Who else. Where is Whincup?

[Birth]

Go Rick Kelly; is the new Kelly team confirmed; one of the articles at www.v8supercars.com.au about the new 'fast' tyres said that HSVDT's driver Rick Kelly had tested the tyres; maybe that was last year..?

[evil_weevil]

So Will Davidson is now with Tander!

[Duncan]

oh is this series still on?

I thought both GM and Ford wnet broke last year.

[Sheng]

Vodafone all the way

[sh@un]

R32 GT-R still has outright race time record for Bathurst

that is all...

[W0rp3D]

Brighty is getting desperate.

FPR are a force,,,but they just keep loosing the plot.

Frosty can win,,,but he and the team keep dropping the ball at the wrong end of the year.

Mark needs to have a really good long talk to his old man sooner than later.

Neil.

They have closed.

I did notice that you can buy both of there cars with engines as last raced for 300k, or you can buy 2 ford rally cars for 300k, GB anyone

the way saftycars are used it will never be beaten. ever since the inroduction of the saftycar, the outright race time means nothing.

Natsoft shows Whincup in P1 after Friday practice.

Other noteable performances are:

Jason Richards in the BOC Commodore in P3 & both djr cars in the top ten.

Rick Kelly will doubtless be blubbing somewhere.

Oh & thank fk the alcopops senate amendments got chucked out. Otherwise no more Jim Beam sponsorship for djr & no Jack daniels for the Kelly clan. Not to mention the XXXX girlies.

lol Kim Jones already being a cranky ass and whinging about the rules, only took him 10mins into the 2009 season.
