Silly Season 2022

[Ospif1]

The kelly engine couldn't even have the butterflies tuned on the car and there was already a noticeable gain in a simple intake design tweak. For guys so highly praised for their engineering prowess it's odd how poor some of their design decisions were.

The recent results for Grove a no fluke, it's really just the new team improving a lot of issues and finding the true potential of the car.

Makes you wonder what could have been achieved with the Nissan in better hands.

Dave said it best after his qualifying performance - "Groves have invested a lot this year."

Feeney was a big gamble for the 2022 season but in my opinion he is doing great.

Even exceeded his own expectations apparently.

What's everyone else's thoughts?

No knock on Broc, but I could exceed my expectations in a TER car. 

Now put me or him in a BJR car and see how far our "exceedence" goes....

I reckon Feeney was barely a gamble at all. T8 being fairly certain to pick a kid they can rely on to rise to their standards.

Agree, Bloops.

Especially whilst the other side of the garage keeps the sponsors happy.

It's good to see young Zak Best get a crack with a wildcard entry.

[skaifeman]

Speedcafe all but confirming a wildcard for Lowndes:

Fraser or Hill likely to get a pretty good gig!

That's a kick in the guts for NZ fans. Kiwis have dominated the sport for the last 5 years so they deserve some races

There are enough tracks suitable over there to do 3-4 rounds running just as this did SMP last year.

NZ was held up high in front of the world for their COVID response and success.  It is much easier to do for an island country.  Now shipping, freight, and supply issues are rearing their heads.  It is much harder to do for an island country.

Yin and Yang.

I'm glad you added the word "was", coz it sure isn't now. This current bunch of lefties has all but destroyed small business' in New Zealand.

Good luck to the ozzies should they be so unfortunate in 2 weeks time.

It certainly is a kick in the teeth for us here, especially as Pukekohe is my home town now.

I would choose to retire with a huge golden handshake.
