[FV8SC11-R07] Fujitsu Series Homebush - 2-4 December
They have been hauling their cars across the country all year. From Townsville to Barbagallo, from Clipsal to Sandown..
... and now to Homebush...
Will the new FPR/Mr Mostert connection continue their great pace? And maybe give the young tyro his first win in the series?
Or will the last run for the #80 Monster car with Mr Thompson's last go do the business and reset some more records?
Will Mr Jane be allowed to come back? 
The battle is on for the minor placings in the series... should be a load of action... on and off track... Should be fun!

MeN reports this evening that Mr Walsh has split from the Miles Racing squad.
So what has happened at Miles Racing? They came away from Bathurst with a crashed car, purchased a 'new' 888-built FG shell, told people the FG was almost built up, and yet seem to have dumped both pilots... 
And simPRO has followed Mr Mostert to FPR...
We kinda expected Mr Youlden to have appeared at Sandown in the FG, as a shakedown by an experienced pilot. Yet he seems to have run in the ex-Mostert BF.
So from everything this team have shared with the media, they have 4 chassis in the shed, 3x888 touched BFs.. and an 888 FG... will they run 4 cars at Homebush?

definately did look good at sandown, hit the ground running. looking competitive for next year. especially with out Mr Thompson
But why do you keep pushing the winterbottom link, surely he could end up in any of the 3 cars

Mr Richards is not likely to be a part of the 2012 lineup, while Mr Youlden is said to be continuing.. while Mr Dumbrell has an offer from RNR for that seat...

There was a Speedcafe story about Winterbottom not going to the final FPR test at the end of the year.
In it, i'm sure they said Richards would take his place as they had a 2 year enduro contract with him anyway.

Richards will compete with FPR at the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000 next year – the second year of his two-season endurance driver deal.
