I note that Sebastian Bourdais will be co-driving with Walkinshaw driver Lee Holdsworth in the Enduros.
Now, this raises a question. If Bourdais can "get used to the car", quickly enough to be "competitive", then why can't Marcos?
There's a couple of points here,...maybe, because He's only the co-driver, he (Bourdais) doesn't have to be as quick as the No 1 driver, I don't know.
Then again, Scotty Pye hasn't done any better in the DJR car than Marcos did?
I reckon there mighr be an issue with the DJR car? I think Marcos thought it was his fault, so did others,....but what now, maybe not his fault?

DJR have pretty much admitted that they haven't got it right with the car and are moving to get it closer to PRA specs.

A driver knows when the car is off and why. Likewise a driver knows when he is off and why.

Ambrose has a massive amount of experience, and so does DJR. They wont have made a mistake. They will know which elements are Marcus and which are the car.
