I also think that what made Brocky exceptional was his racing background and attitudes. Most definately gifted...Originally Posted by mcrover
taught by the greatest holden driver of all time.......Who went all hippy, came up with a weird and wonderful way of adding excessive weight to and already heavy car.
Holden then showed that they dont follow the rules with Brocky "owning" HDT but just not owning any of the creative control......and opps he tried to do something different to what Holden wanted.
Holden then fired him so he went and raced a Sierra....which was a Ford...
Holden then took him back with HSV and team brock to use him as an advertising tool.
And then pushed him into what really was a second class car for testing purposes only (was what I thought was what happened).
Brocky was the most telanted driver I have ever seen but Holden didnt do him all that many favours and he had some far out ideas that he really should have kept to himself.
As far as him teaching Lownds, yes he mentored him but he could drive well before Brocky got his hands on him but I doubt he would have got as far as he did without Brocky.
And yet another Comodore into the wall yeah hahahaha
Courtney will be one to watch. He has always been exceptionally fast, faster than Whincup even in the feeders and competitive on the world stage. I'm pretty sure Jim his old man was a racer too and James has had the best of support all the way through. He is about as good as it gets.

I dont understand why Courtney cant get it together, it's like things just dont fall his way.
He has taken Stone Bro's from front runners to mid field yet still does blistering times and their equipment is the most used in the ford camps by other teams that dont have problems with it.
Yes I agree he will be one to watch, maybe Lowndsy needs to go there next and smoothe out the ripples in that team as he has done just about everywhere he has been up till now.

Go Murphy go.........
If Lounds/Whincup pull this off it is an amazing feat in this day & age with no cross entering,extremely good competition,etc,etc,etc
FANTASTIC..

I think Courney gets rushes which does him in. He grow out of that, mind you he's doing it right now as he passes Max! They were just saying he's finished 3rd, then 2nd at Bathurst and his lap times earlier were stunning in the way he was putting them together. Perhaps enduro will be his thing rather than cut and thrust.
I agree re Lowndes also. I think its his personality, its warm, inviting, stress free and fun - but he's also very good!

The angry little man is now yelling at his engineer but he did get richo just then.
He needs to do as he is told a bit as well, they were telling him lap after lap to get air but he just ignors it and even when they say confirm he doesnt.
I couldnt work with him.
How can Ford pull sponsership from these guys.
Fan bloody tastic

Well done to Lowndes and even more so to Jamie Whincup!
Very well deserved, and a hattrick for Ford!
