I don't know about that GTR, But if it is any like T/Ville could see some interesting tussle's between the top five and a few others. QR is not as it seems, a bit technical if you don't pick the right line thru all the turns.

Speed down a straight maybe great, but entering and exiting turns is the art to this course.

Thankfully no silly turn two,(T/Ville) but three and six can bite hard if you don't get it right.

looking forward to the racing. Hopefully a packed grid.

I see from AA that Miles Racing will be running 3 BFs, with the third being another ex T8 car formerly run by Howard Racing.

The article quotes Wayne Miles as saying he has a fourth chassis, being an FGm As these are a bit thin on the ground, anyone know which chassis this might be?

Ex DJR maybe?

The FG in question is the one Mr Johnson wrecked earlier in the year, the shell repaired at LVSR. Mr Miles made mention that it would take his team some time to get that chassis ready... which has me wondering if it is only the shell, with Miles Racing to fit it out

LD Total is a family owned and operated company, and is one of Western Australia’s largest and most respected Landscaping Contractors, providing a full range of services including major commercial landscape construction, landscape architecture, comprehensive maintenance, residential and boutique landscape creations.

The Queensland round comes with good timing for LD Total who have just been through a companywide rebrand.

The new livery will see Todd Fiore’s #23 BF Falcon change from blue to black, white and green with LD Total taking up occupancy on both sides of the car. Todd’s ongoing sponsors of Sitech, Flexistaff and Allwest Turfing will also remain on the car.

“It is great to have another West Australian Company on board for this round. We have always had the family support behind the scenes, so it is good to have them at the forefront for this round,” Todd commented.

“The car looks great and the new LD Total scheme works really well.

“We had a strong test day a couple of weeks ago at Queensland Raceway so I am really looking forward to this weekend and racing at my test track. The team has worked tirelessly to get the car prepared for the race meeting after my incident in Townsville”.

The Fujitsu Series returns to Queensland Raceway this weekend for the 3rd round of the 2011 Championship.

MeN reports tonight that Mr Miles and his crew are busily fitting out the ex-DJR ex-888 FG shell (and thats all it was, as delivered..) with new bits, with the intention of running that car as a wildcard at Phillip Island and Bathurst!

The fallback position seems to be for the team to run one of its 3 BFs... but the team is reported as hopeful of getting the FG job done.

The challenge for Mr Thompson seems to be in-pack racecraft... with a car as quick as this, you would imagine a trip from the back to the front should be childs play but somehow it isnt...

Wasnt particularly quick in the mother ship's #88 offering yesterday either..

Wonder how Mr Skaife might go in the development series car?

Wouldn't bother wondering, just mail him the title. He'd win by that much. He'd never driven a CupCar before this year, yet by the conclusion of his first day testing @ PI he was less than 0.3 behind Bairdo. So give him a chassis he knows well....... and he'd murder them.

Back to the Quali times........ and it seems by the times that Dave Russell's 6+ yr old BF is on it's last legs as a competitive chassis, as he's much better than those times indicate.

The question is though, why would a modestly funded Fujitsu team pay top price for a current FG now, when they can wait til the end of 2012 when there will arguably be ~50 of them on the market for very little money?
