?. Cameron Waters

Odd that Prodrive haven't actually confirmed him yet.

? LDM entry

Last I read an International driver was being looked at

David Wall has moved to Carrera Cup

Andre Heimgartner has moved to the GT series

I reckon frosty can win it again.

 

[BomberFan355]

Interesting to see how Mostert comes back. I think he could win a few titles in years to come.

 

[Ljp86]

I'm glad they've cut out the 60km races and made them 120 kms on the Saturday. I would prefer to have one race on the Sunday though, I don't really like these SuperSprint events much.

 

[GoHawks05]

I reckon Lowndes will be a huge chance to win the championship again. He'll definitely be top 5. Since 2005 he hasn't finished outside the top 4. J-Dub will almost certainly reach 100 race wins. Does anyone know when Lowndesy's livery will be released?

888. Craig Lowndes (TeamVortex)

Fixed

I don't know Hawks. Maybe he is too old to put it together for a full season. He is my fave driver though. Even if he is steering a Holden!

 

[NSWCROW]

Chaz wins imo.
SVG 2nd.

 

[GoHawks05]

I don't know Hawks. Maybe he is too old to put it together for a full season. He is my fave driver though. Even if he is steering a Holden!

Maybe I'm biased because he's my fave driver too. But I reckon he can. At the start of last year the same could have been said, but he came second in the championship and took it to the last round. He still has a great team around him so I wouldn't be surprised if he was up there again. Just my opinion

 

[hey shorty]

Can't see CL winning one now, he has to beat his teammates and PRA won't be handing the championship without a fight.

Interesting that Mosterts race engineer has gone to DJR. They'll be darkhorses this year, Pye went well towards the back end and Fabs always starts well.

Very very even season with the probable improvement of Volvo and HRT.

 

[George 13]

Have gone with Gizzy, But it could go pair shaped between him and Jdub. They are both very competitive and could come together.

Although you would think Roland slaps that out of them.

Frosty and Chaz should both be right in it as well.

 

[JUBJUB]

Erebus have named their 2nd driver - Aaren Russell

[hey shorty]

Ash Walsh will end up at PRA or Penske IMO.

 

[JUBJUB]

Ash Walsh will end up at PRA or Penske IMO.

You mean as a co-driver.
Odd he said at the awards night he'd definetly be at Erebus this year.

Yeah I should've qualified that. IMO there was never any chance he would be there, and now he's been replaced by a rookie. Huge slap in the face.

 

[RustyCage]

Erebus confirmed to be racing Commodores this year

 

[JUBJUB]

Erebus confirmed to be racing Commodores this year

Worst kept secret

R.I.P Mercedes Benz

 

[hey shorty]

Shame really, they sounded amazing and its a bugger that MB didn't get involved.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

popped up on twitter last night LDM looking at Walsh, Can't find it now, seems to be deleted.

 

[GoHawks05]

Technically, now Reynolds has defected from f**d to holden.

 

[GoBlues13]

I reckon Lowndes will be a huge chance to win the championship again. He'll definitely be top 5. Since 2005 he hasn't finished outside the top 4. J-Dub will almost certainly reach 100 race wins. Does anyone know when Lowndesy's livery will be released?

You'r wonky saying that coz Lowndes is your bloody fav!! Well I'm tipping Frosty! He's a jet and I'm positive he can win it again. Ford 4 ever!!!

 

[Wilso24]

The team vortex car will look similar to the one Ingall drove for SBR I reckon

 

[GoBlues13]

I reckon frosty can win it again.

Definitely!!! He's got a really good chance!!!!

 

[GoHawks05]

You'r wonky saying that coz Lowndes is your bloody fav!! Well I'm tipping Frosty! He's a jet and I'm positive he can win it again. Ford 4 ever!!!

You bloody dick, yeah, Lowndesy is my fave, but Frosty is your fave!Just saying, but Lowndesy has more fans than Frosty! Next time I see you I'll show you those photos again!
