SANDGROPER RACING RETURN TO TRACKPerth based fantasy team
Sandgroper Racing has returned to the motorsport world after two years away from the starting grid. The team that so nearly won the
RPM Forum V8 Sportal Dreamteam league is proud to announce that they are moving codes to Formula 1 for the upcoming season and are taking on a conservative approach.
The team has chosen former two time F1 World Drivers Champion
Fernando Alonso to skipper the team, with the Spaniard's home GP at
Catalunya the Bonus Round. Joining
Alonso is young gun
Sebastian Vettel, who while steering for winless
Red Bull Racing will come into the '09 season with huge expectations.
Sandgroper Racing will be using the brand new
Mclaren MP4-24 chassis with the strong
Ferrari powerplant for a good coverage of the top point scorers. They will be looking to score in the top 10 with the
Hard Tyre compound.While the team has covered the main points getters from last year, there is one large floor that could prove the achillies heal of the West Aussie squad, the impressive power of
BMW Sauber. With many other teams favouring
Robert Kubica and BMW chassis and engines, many points early in the season could be kept out of reach of
Sandgroper Racing.
With testing complete and everything in place, it's all to play for come the first round of the season in
Melbourne.

just a bit of fun
