FPVPSI Member 503 Member For: 21y 10m 4d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 28/07/04 12:53 PM Share Posted 28/07/04 12:53 PM Hi all!I have been watching the V8 Supercars since the start of the year and I reckonafew Ford teams are making some sort of progress, but theres one major team constintaly going the wrong way ....FPR....What the deal with there latest form? it seems no matter where they go, their qualifing times are crap, their race pace is crap and to top it off their cars are some of the most unreliable in the whole paddock!It just seems they spend mega bucks but to no avail! I reckon Lowndes might be going back to the big H at the end of the sesson, I know he is contracted but something tells me that he's going to go back! Or better yet the get ridd of Ingall from SBR and replace him with Lowndes! :lol: I would love to hear any thought's you guys have in reguards to this topic!- Thanks Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented driver? Yes.Capable of winning races in 2005? I don’t think so. (Please, by all means GS prove me wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 3d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 29/07/04 04:52 AM Share Posted 29/07/04 04:52 AM Can't see CL going to DJR, at best that would only be a step sideways, he needs to go up.As for SBR running FPR...there's no way that would ever happen as it would make Ford look very silly (ier). They perhaps should get SBR to build them some motors as nearly every FPR one has lunched itself but again this is doubtful as it wouldn't look good if the u beaut factory team need help from another opposition team.If Lowndes was to move the most logical place would be to Ingall's seat at SBR but that could prove messy as both Ingall and Lowndes are still under contract with their respective teams.The other possibility is Lowndes move to 888 and take over Max Wilson's seat.
