Does any one think that, for a factery team, FPR arnt up to scratch?
To be fair, Its still a young team and all engine development i done over in Pomland (shame). But Its dissapionting to see Craig lowndes drop out of just about every race. I realy feel fo lowndes he was doing so well with HRT and has realy suffered with ford. Maybe 2005 will be a FPR storm.

Yep, they are the most dissapointing racing team in the world. Glen Seton is way way way past his prime and Craig Lowndes is one of the best drivers out there being shit on time and time again by his team and ford, he has been with Ford 4 years now for a few race wins, he was at Holden for that time and won some championships. FPR pull your finger out or sell him to a decent team like SBR.

Compare FPV to SBR and you can tell its not the car, but how the car is put together, development and the team.

Maybe its time for FPV to bring the operation back to Aussie soil and do the job right!

somthing is not right in the FPR camp, that is for sure, it aint the drivers (seton and lowndes both have championships), it aint the BA (proven), it aint the supporters (fanatics), it aint the tyres or any other components (all ok for SBR)... must be the fact that the poms know SFA about V8 racing or the team has no idea how to run.

Well a touring car for the poms is a 4 cyclinder isn't it. maybe they can't work on 8 cyclinders a t a time?

But they do have the bst looking cars, i admit.

What are you talking about. The poms havnt built a good looking car since 1988 when Jaguar released the XJ220. I dont think that Jaguar was owned by Ford at that time, but correct me if Im wrong

I believe he meant that the Poms (Prodrive) aka FPR have the best looking V8 Supercar cars. I.E Lowndes CAT car and Seton's FPR car.

And the Poms definately ain't responsible for how it looks.

Jeez that's a little harsh isn't it? You don't like the Latest all alloy XJ? What about the S-type R? Or the XK-R? And that X-type looks a neat little jigger - with AWD and a 3.0 V6 it's ripe for a twin turbo conversion you've got to admit...

Anythings ripe for a turbo conversion...
