2017 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship - Results and TalkTouring Cars

Time certain as always. Just name it "Sundown at Sandown" or "The Sandown 5:00".

That's why I don't go anymore & watch it on TV in comfort.

As it is, we'll be lucky if we see a Sandown 400

I hate that they keep showing Douglas' accident in slow motion. It doesn't show the size of the accident.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Starting at 1:15 and finishing at 4:45, they have 3 and a half hours to complete the race. Without any delay or safety car, it takes about 3 or so hours to complete the race, so to have 30 minutes to have spare to include SC or suspended is beyond ridiculous. We'll lose a whole hour pretty much with this delay, so we've lost our 30 minute spare, and lost at least 30 minutes from race time.

And why do we have time certain finishes? Anyone?

I have no idea. Especially with this dedicated Sports channel.

 

[L8 Apex]

Scotty gets it.

 

[05XR8]

The #62. Textbook stuff during normal races, but just crazy during the enduros.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Tire didn't look like it would stay, they barely tightened it up.

 

[Spacegoat]

Scotty gets it.

👍

It doesn't take a genius to workout that it'd be a good idea to start the race earlier, especially after last year. That thought seems to be beyond those in charge though.

 

[05XR8]

Oh BS. Chaz gets the penalty. but nothing just then.

 

[Pete05]

The dedicated sports channel is not the problem, it's to make sure Channel 10 can get to the News at 5pm.
So, in other words, 🤬 the paying spectator at the track & 🤬 those watching on Fox.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

At least karma got him

Well bad luck for the RBHR 88 with Dumbrell driving, good news for Scotty

👍
Good news for the #6 as well.

Wouldn't be a proper race this year without at least one Dunlop failure.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

👍

For PRA fans sure, I'm not one unless Frosty is the discussion.

It's my favorite number, but I'm about the #17(my birth year reversed).

Edit: okay, now we go racing.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Campbell is going to have to spend a lot of time with the main drivers.

 

[05XR8]

Wihincup's buckle, top right, wasn't secure when he was let go. What happens then?

I think he just needed to tighten the belt to be honest.

 

[05XR8]

I think he just needed to tighten the belt to be honest.

I thought that, but I could see the shiny part of the buckle just over the latch.

 

[Spacegoat]

Campbell is going to have to spend a lot of time with the main drivers.

He's putting down similar times to Waters. I get the feeling that this guy might be pretty good.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Does Todd get more money from Dunlop with that stuck on?

 

[05XR8]

Oh, Geez. Todd has to slow right down. That's silly.

Please don't call a safety car.

 

[Spacegoat]

Might be hurting his aerodynamics just a bit. I'm not too sure.

 

[05XR8]

Crompton & Skaife are knuckleheads. Getting hyped about minimum laps for nothing.

 

[Spacegoat]

Bloody hell that's disappointing for Pye.

 

[05XR8]

Pad change for the #97. Crazy.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Every time they change to that drone shot it feels like I'm watching footage from the early 90's

 

[05XR8]

Can we get a Ford 1,2.3?

Every time they change to that drone shot it feels like I'm watching footage from the early 90's

Looks like security cam from a 7/11.
