Ford, FPR and SBR had a sit down a few years ago. It was decided that Frosty and Gizzy would swap cars at there practice days. Gizzy flew down, jumped in and did about 5 laps ,came in and told them the differences. They did not get him back in. They got what they wanted. 2 days after Frosty flew up and SBR got payback. They gave him about 5 laps and the rest of the day he sat around.
I like frosty but I got no time or his team. If they worked with SBR like Ford wanted they would have learned something and could have won more than stuff all. Frosty needs to bail if he wants a win more than once every blue moon. If his missus was not so full on in the pits when the boys were trying to work he would be still at SBR and would have a championship and a lot more by now.
Many times there's much more than "a couple of tenths" in it and the Vodafone cars don't seem to "go off" during the race (is that driver related?)
I figure there'd be much more co-operation with like minded teams s well, after all it would be in Ford's best interests.
There is a lot more than tenths in it outside of qualifying and it;s percentages all over the car, less tyre degredation, better fuel use, higher top speed, more power, better drive, better braking, all those little fractions are why T888 have so many poles and so many wins.

I don't think so, he's not a kee wee
Ross and Jimmy are hard to work for , they were not really Team players at DJR and I see no reason to believe they would be as Ford team members either.[bgn]
I see FPR have taken delivery of their first COTF chassis from Pace already, so they can be ready for the first test day in August. Does anyone know when djr will be getting one?
