Bowe-Radisich-Wilson.

[Rob 18]

Out of these 3 who do you think was the biggest loss to DJR. For me Bowe had to be the biggest loss & you only have to look at his results with BJR to realise what a talent he still is.
Wilson would be next for me as he was just starting to hit his straps in the #18 Shell Ford & I feel he would have capitalised this year, but unfortunatly that didn't happen.
Radisich, has to be one of the most frustrating drivers out there, he can be as good as anyone out there on his day but when it's not he's day, look out for disappointment.

Good topic.
The biggest loss is by far John Bowe[8D][8D][8D].
JB know's his way around a car.
He know's how he want's it set up and how to achieve it.
As a test driver i don't think there is anybody still racing in Australia that can give there engineer as much feed back.
Max[|)][|)] has potential one day he will win race's for 888.
The Rat [)][)]is one of the most frustrating driver's i have ever seen.
I think he is to impatient, just when you think he's going to get a good result he stuff's it into something

I don't think Radisich has improved this year either bigcol, that stupid mistake at Adelaide & Pukekhoe & Hidden Valley this year reminds me why I'm glad he's not at DJR anymore. I'm sure when Max has some luck & reliability at 888, he will make Paul look fairly ordinary this year!

All 3 are podium winners[8D][8D][8D]. John Bowe, arguably by far is the biggest loss.

JB was easily the biggest loss probably just behind Dick retiring & the Stones doing there own thing but I think they could have survived those 2 if he had stuck around.

 

[Bigcol]

I think the Rat is way over rated

Bowe was the biggest loss in my opininon followed by the Rat. I dont want to get to down on Max, but I think he has one of the worst records for a bloke driving decent cars. I dont have the stats on me, but check out how many starts Max has had and how many times he has finished in the top 20! Scary stuff, amazes me he has a drive next year. even more impressive is his DNF.

 

[Rob 18]

Does anyone think these 3 will ever win another ATCC round??? Doesn't look likely does it, Bowes getting a bit long in the tooth, Radisich, well he's gone to the dark side & poor o'l Maxy is battling to even get a ride this year.
I think when all 3's carrers are over we'll find that none of them could win a round away from DJR, quite ironic when you consider at least 2 (Bowe & Wilson) left for greener pastures.

 

[Bigcol]

As far as winning another round goes the only one capable of that is Bowe and it could well be Bathurst.
Those Jones boys now how to get them cranking at the hill.
The other 2 are gooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeee

 

[TRU BLU]

Apart from Bowe the other driver i was disappointed when he left or got told to leave was Greg Ritter

 

[Rob 18]

Interesting to see how Ritter goes this year TRU BLU, the pressure will be on to perform that's for sure. He has always been a very good qualifyer (DJR-PWR) but this year he has to race wheel to wheel against 34 top drivers in the toughest touring car series in the world. For Fords sake I wish him all the best...

 

[DJR-1980]

JOHN BOWE FOR SURE

 

[Seton Fanatic]

John Bowe could win another round if the car is good enough. There's nothing wrong with his car speed; he outpaces Brad Jones (no slouch) more often than not. After all, Jim Richards and Peter Brock have won ATCC races and rounds at ages older than JB is now. Radisich could still win wnother round. The Team Kiwi Commodore is a handy bit of equipment, and Radisich is leaving Morris in his wheeltracks. Wilson, well let's say he needs a bit of guidance before he wins a ATCC race.
