Yet another necomer to the Fujitsu series. I'm really starting to worry. Sounds like he has barely even jumped in one of the cars before. Teams are risking they're money. However, and this is the key part, I don't care, it's fantastic that yet another newcomer is entering, the more cars the better!

The issue is, as was well demonstrated in both races by Scotty McLaughlin, these cars are incredibly hard to get off the line, and it was nearly Oran Park all over again.

My other point, is that it's going to be very hard for guys like Pederson/Blanchard/Percat and co. to get a win at all this year, when you have blokes like Owen/Russell/Morris/Perkins/McConville in there who have all "Been there, done that!"

Good luck to all the young blokes though, I hope they do well.

But he is older, and you'd suspect, would have more experience in something like this...we'll have to see...

Plus, it's better than debuting in the V8 Supercars...At least it's not as stressful, or confrontational as the V8s....

But nobody really gets it off the line first time round It's all a bit hard graduating from FF to DV8s like Percat/Blanchard have done and getting the hang of starting their car. Besides, many of the drivers have never driven a powerful car such as this one before going into DV8s.

Scott, and a lot of other newcomers, will get it. Eventually.
