Of course being a loyal Ford supporter you always support and have high hopes for the Ford drivers, however these can be seen as ambitious. I was talking to people the other day and they said it is a two horse race, however I believe Frosty is well and truly in with a chance, and should be classed as still one of the favorites with the two drivers in front of him, especially considering that Team Vodafone have had some problems in the reliability department of late with car #1, and James Courtney and Jim Beam racing seem to not have front running pace right at the moment. I have put together the following to represent the results for the remaining rounds after Bathurst to show how realistic it is to believe that FPR and Frosty can win this championship.
2009 Results: (Round Points)
Gold Coast:
James Courtney: 148.5
Jamie Whincup: 129
MARK WINTERBOTTOM: 288
Tasmania:
James Courtney: 15
Jamie Whincup: 240
MARK WINTERBOTTOM: 177
Sandown:
James Courtney: 228
Jamie Whincup: 231
MARK WINTERBOTTOM: 126
Sydney:
James Courtney: 201
Jamie Whincup: 174
MARK WINTERBOTTOM: 267
Total:
James Courtney: 592.5
Jamie Whincup: 774
MARK WINTERBOTTOM: 858
If these figures were used to base the rest of the year off Mark Winterbottom narrowly wins this championship.
GO FPR 2010.

The reulst used for each round are based of what the drivers got for each round in 2009

Alister,
We like your thinking and we hope you are right.
Mark Roworth - FPR
Brandon Overton | 05:14PM - October 6th 2010
I hope I will see winterbottom win the Championship for he has been my favourite driver since he joined FPR!
joshua burdon | 10:57AM - October 19th 2010
even if frosty does'nt win it there will still be a good chance for jc
Mark G | 09:01AM - October 25th 2010
There's some thing you didnt account for: the brain snap from Youlden first race.
Brandon Overton | 04:51PM - October 27th 2010
After the Gold Coast I don't think frosty can win!
Alister | 04:12PM - October 28th 2010
Nah he is out of it now, now it is down to just winning !!!! GO FROSTY!
Brandon Overton | 06:40PM - October 28th 2010
FPR haven't rulled out winterbottom being a shot at the Championship but I still think he's out of it!
Alister | 08:40PM - October 28th 2010
But Mark has!
Brian Jeffreys | 08:53PM - October 28th 2010
Mathematical chance but will need a lil luck to go his way, the Team had the pace for a 1, 2 lock out in race 1 and 2 but things went south for the team no question the car is where it needs to be and Frosty is operating at a high level if not this year next for sure!
Ken McKell | 07:22AM - October 29th 2010
Frosty has the speed and thr tenacity. It just takes one small piece of bad luck to bring it undone. I believe the best is yet to come from him.
Brandt Tucker | 05:26PM - October 29th 2010
Na he needs to win every race and hope that james and Jamie crash out in at least 2 of the rounds and cant get there cars fxed up for the next race and needs them to crash out also at sydney then he can win it but at the moment he is out of it
david young | 11:56AM - November 1st 2010
still think he has a chance and frosty wont give up untill the last second and neither will fpr just seems fpr has bad luck if it wasnt for that they would be a lot closer than they are now so lets hope frosry can knock buttercup off for the championship
Nicole Ellingham | 02:16PM - November 1st 2010
It'd be nice to see Frosty win the championship but it's not very likely. Of course that won't stop team FPR or me from cheering them on.
