Will The Weather In Sydney Be Frosty?

V8 Supercars, AGP. (C)

    Our friends and supporters who frequent this site will know how much we love all forms of motorsport, but they will undoubtedly be aware of how much the anticipation and excitement levels crescendo when the endurance season approaches. V8 Supercars is once again about to dip its big toe into the unpredictability of endurance racing including its showcase event, The Bathurst 1000, being just a breath away.
    However there's the matter of the Sydney Motorsport Park Supersprint to contend first before the enduros commence at Sandown. Sydney fans can enjoy a plethora of motorsport with a bumper support programme scheduled. Closely matched Porsche Carrera Cup contest 3 x 19 lap races, crowd favourites Aussie Racing Cars fight over 4 x 11 lap races, the top end exotic marques of GT racing race a 1 hour mini enduro on Saturday and a 40 lap race on Sunday, and the FIA and Cams sanctioned Formula 4 make their long awaited Sydney debut over 3 x 15 lap races. 
    V8 Supercars at this time of year always seems to take on an interesting perspective. The main protagonists bidding for championship glory begin to show their hands. Prodrive's Mark Winterbottom takes an almost 300 point advantage over Red Bull's evergreen Craig Lowndes, with team mate Chaz Mostert and David Reynolds plus HRT's James Courtney breathing down CL's neck. Can 2015 finally be Winterbottom's year? And what of defending champ Jamie Whincup? His title's defense might not be going to plan to date, but he always manages to excel come endurance season. Only the brave would consign him to the also-rans. 
    Ford seemed to have produced a car that can win on all types of circuits with their Falcon FGX. Winterbottom will certainly be hoping that that will be the case at Sydney Motorsport Park. Any increase to his slender advantage going into the endurance season will certainly be welcomed by Frosty. See you trackside next weekend. Ciao....
