Crompton's high praise for Waters - Speedcafe

Respected Supercars pundit Neil Crompton feels Cameron Waters has joined the category’s elite class after a prolonged run of frontrunning form.

Waters is essentially the face of Ford in Supercars this year, having further established himself as Tickford Racing’s spearhead while champion rival Dick Johnson Racing finds its feet again after an off-season overhaul.

Waters is the only Ford driver in the championship’s top five after two rounds this year – and frankly, has been the only figure to look like threatening unbeaten leader Shane van Gisbergen’s win streak.

The Mildura product stormed to the first pole position of the season and has on merit led three of five races to date.

Crompton has seen enough to be certain Waters belongs in the top-tier of Australian motorsport talent.
