Who will be the Top Holden teams next year?

JustASupporter · 7 Dec 2004, 02:21 (Ref:1173015)

Any ideas ?

jason7250 · 7 Dec 2004, 02:37 (Ref:1173019)

Tander and Crash Bandicott

I think HRT will have another lackluster year.

Kmart should be strong again, and never discount the Perkins crew.

Team Dynamik could spring a suprise or two.

I'm thinking pretty much the same as this year, although I don't think HRT will have the same amount of bad luck / mistakes that dogged them this year.

Bimmerhead · 7 Dec 2004, 03:53 (Ref:1173040)

Who cares?? Ambrose, Lowndes and Rusty will be fighting it out for the title and there'll be daylight to the rest...........

Raglanparade · 7 Dec 2004, 03:56 (Ref:1173043)

Theres some comedy... Rusty challenging for the title...

Sandgroper · 7 Dec 2004, 04:12 (Ref:1173046)

I believe HRT Cant have much more Bad Luck as they have had in the past 2 years, despite all the bad press and comments here their winning history speak for them selves.

As always PWR should be a force as well as KRT.

HRT have huge internal problems so I expect PWR/Supercheap to be the leading Holden Team.

Tricky - you need to watch the docu/pit walk special on BigPond - The Red Diaries (it is archived)- I can and will give you an iron clad guarantee that there are no internal problems at HRT - they are a pretty hard working group.

I think HRT will be back to some where near the top along with KRT and PWR. I have a inkling Perkins may be on the downward slope.

woodbine · 7 Dec 2004, 06:58 (Ref:1173094)

I think Kmart will suffer, at least early on while they get used to Garth. They seem to have problems getting the car setup right at some tracks and I don't think Garth and Crash can drive round this as easily as Murf seemed to be able to.

PWR will be up there, with HRT not far behind and GRM will be snapping at their heels

billy bigtime · 7 Dec 2004, 07:09 (Ref:1173097)

I reckon Tratty might give them a run for their money.

Darling, can I have another pill please

I think HRT will be the Holden team to beat. Skaife wont put two consecutive bad years together. He has had good speed all year but some terrible luck. Finished this season with a fairly well sorted car so expect to see them hit the ground running.

SkaifeysGal · 7 Dec 2004, 07:18 (Ref:1173102)

HRT, K-Mart, GRM, PWR

00 XR8 · 7 Dec 2004, 07:30 (Ref:1173107)

KRT and PWR may struggle in the early rounds when the "new" engine is finally made compulsory next year.

HRT will be the fastest Holdens, no question. Richo will be very quick again and I think that the Morris/TKR cars will be ones to watch......

**GTRMagic** · 7 Dec 2004, 08:18 (Ref:1173135)

Mr Ingall was quoted in various press releases that although Mr Skaife's car was quick in R3 at the weekend, it was handling with serious evil tendencies. And this from the brand spanker that was fresh off the jig only a couple of rounds ago.

If HRT can run the Aurora for 2 years and not really get it working properly, despite building goodness knows how many chassis in that time, do we really have an expectation Kmart & PWR will be able to just snap into a magic setup?

Team Dynamik is regarded as having one of the better powerplants in the field, very strong in the top end... but the chassis lets them down... while PMM is said to be a good chassis, looking for more horsepower... and these guys have 2 years running in the current configuration.... and can only get better from here... with new cars on the way for all 3 slots... and TKR too

Why is that comedy? Certainly did his part for the SBR team this year and rounded out a 1-2 for them.

00 XR8 · 7 Dec 2004, 11:08 (Ref:1173305)

Not to mention that Russell seriously challenged for the title in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2001

nicko · 7 Dec 2004, 21:23 (Ref:1173860)

TKR have always been one of the fastest cars through the corners, just dont have enough horsepower to go very fast on the straights. Just look how competitive they are when it rains. So with a new Morris engine, lets hope things go their way.

I wonder who I picked
