first let me say im not trying to star an argument or a scrap with this, im just wondering if anybody shares my opinion
here it goes
me and my girl were watching the clipsal 500 this weekend and we both noticed that whincup and lownds had some extream pace in there brand spanking new fg's
this struck us as weird because the FG's are Brand new, never been raced before etc, they obviously had a good set up but what about teething problems? the only one was the power steering going on lownds and tanders cars, we were thinking (and tell me if im wrong) that somthing is up seeing as the only team who did the testing of the breand new e85 was team vodafone, stick with me here, what if team vodafone devaloped an edge during the testing of e85 that they could use above all other teams, to my knowlage (again correct me if im wrong) no holden team did any of the testing of the e85 (all pre season obviously - the shake down was there first crack at it for all teams but vodafone) the closest drivers to whincup and/or lownds were davidson and tander and even then the fg's were realy fast and pulling away. now they could have had the perfect set up and all that jazz but we found it weird that a team with no ford backing, 2 brand new FG Falcon's, brand new gas (which they were the sole testers of), ecu's and other gear were able to be so fast on the first race of the season! i was expecting more teething problems etc, especialy concidering the cars were built to project blueprint and now have control breaks and disks and the same suspention points as holden etc etc
also as i side note the number 18 jim beam FG had its chasey and all the bits aside form the engine built buy vodafone 888 racing, the engine was built by djr, they got close at one stage but just didnt have the pace or the reliability of team vodafone
it could be my mind running away on me but thats what me and my girl noticed, any thoughts?
