We have some serious catching to do

Credit where credit is due - Those Toll VE Commodores are quick, and HRT was not too much slower either

Ford needs to get their thinking hats on, and see what can be done.

Let's hope it was just a case of Barbagallo being particularly well suited to the VE's

You can say that again. It seemed to me that those cars were seriously good under brakes. When lowndes was fighting with Kelly and Johnson with Skaife, they made up so much ground under brakes!

Yeah those toll cars were seriously quick, the biggest plus for the ford side IMO had been the performance of DJR. They have gone from the brink of being bankrupt to a front running team.

The 888 gear is clearly paying off for DJR.
