I bloody hope HRT get it this year.
But as long as Holden wins Bathurst I am happy.

After 888's performance in 2005 do you think its logical that SBR will continue to supply super quick engines to 888? Hmmm should be interesting to see the outcome this year. Skaifey is looking very focused.

SBR are supplying engines to 2 or 3 other teams besides SBR. You can have a quick engine but you still need a good driver to make the car give good lap times.

I'm betting on either of the Kelly's... now that Toll and HRT are under the one roof !!! That was an IMPRESSIVE drive from Rick yesterday !!!... he's got some pace to be able to go from the back of the grid to finishing on the podeium... Forget Murph... how many stupid accidents does he get involved in / start ? Run the outside of a turn late in the race real SMART !!! :driving: :bang:

Nothing wrong with Murphy he is far a better driver then the Kellys put together. It wouldn't be easy making decisions on the track, and poor Murphy just made an incorrect decision on that corner. Considering Skaife followed him through.

Have to agree with you there. Skaife was in the exact same spot as Murphy only a fraction behind him. Where the hell was he meant to go???
Not impressed about the Rick Kelly drive through penalty, the biggest crock of **** ever. We watched it on the foxtel Iq box and rewound and watched the restart about 10 times and Loundes actually leaves the line before Kelly but then Kelly gets a better launch. I am disgusted at AVESCO for their stupidity and unprofessionalism in a major event. Hope Rick wins it this year so he can jamb it fair and square up there ass!!!!! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

No if you watched where Lowndes wheels were compared to Rick's wheels were apparently Rick crept his wheels over the line while the lights were still red and this apparently tripped the electronic beam that senses for jump starts, but hell it would of only been thousands of a second head start for Rick.
