I don't purchase any subscriptions to any series I watch actually. So I couldn't tell him on here cause we're not suppose to with the method I use.
As for the series, I don't see how Scotty can win the championship at this point unless Fabian and Whincup have trouble at the next round. I know there are three races to go, but it just seems that those two haven't had too much trouble and been right there all season to collect when and if Scotty fails. A lot can still happen I guess, but that works both ways as seen yesterday.

There's only 7 points or whatever between Whincup and McLaughlin, so it's definitely on. Coulthard hasn't really had the outright pace of the others so I can't see him holding on. It'll definitely be interesting if Mostert and SVG get closer. One of the best Championships we've had since probably 2010.

Between those two sure, Fabian has a good gap at this point. Though you're right Fabian tends to falter more often then succeed.

Wood up to 4th now
Credit where it's due he and Pither drove extremely well. Kept the car clean and out of trouble. Phenomenal result for Erebus yesterday.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some humble pie to eat.

Pither, is the key name there. Keep the pie in the freezer.Credit where it's due he and Pither drove extremely well. Kept the car clean and out of trouble. Phenomenal result for Erebus yesterday.

Scott can still do it. If he vets Pole in the last 6 races and the PRA cars scrap with Whincup, the #17 is in the clear.
Fabs' pace is actually keeping him out of trouble, but we'll see. 900 points left.

One can only hope, you and the rest of the supercars comments echo a similar sentiment. Sadly, the world is full of these kind of people. Luckily Reynolds is rectifying the situation as best he can and good on him for that. It shouldn't have to be done in an ideal world, but that's not how it is obviously. Just glad she'll get a race memento.

Dale Wood Out Will Davidson or Anton De Pascale In? Maybe if Dale steps down. Personally I'd just promote Chris Pither and have another kiwi in the field.

Michael Andretti says the possibility of Walkinshaw Andretti United fielding a Bathurst 1000 wildcard next year has been tentatively discussed.
This is good. A wildcard entry for Andretti's Indycar drivers and hopefully they'll keep Luff and Perkins in the main cars.

Edit: Meant to quote @Spacegoat. Hey, he gave up Monaco for Indy. Plus, I think with more exposure like the event below, could be a good incentive for any driver to want a shot.
Yesssss

It was something I wish would have happened at the Australian GP. Even when they had the celebrity races in the Meganes. Just to see an F1 driver race in a different type of car.
Not that it would happen, but the possibility of VASC at 4 F1 venues, maybe one or two chosen F1 drivers, gets a wildcard at those events. They'd get to know the car, that's for sure.
COTA, Monza, Silverstone, appear to be circuits with enough pit garages. Red Bull Ring would also be a cool track to see VASc visit.

All the more reason I would love to see Scotty be a champ, and because he's had a somewhat roller coaster career in the series up to this point.

Just came across this which is nice for those of us that are outside Australia and couldn't see it on the regular broadcast. Gotta say I'm loving the sound of this thing, especially the wastegate flutter when the throttle is released.

I'm guessing it's been several decades since an active/current F1 driver has taken part in a support race of any kind, as well as the F1 GP.
Not like the days of Jim Clark or the like taking in the F1, F2, sportscar & touring car races on the same weekend.

So a couple of sections of Pukekohe are set to resurfaced, prior to the Supercars round.
All well and good but I hope they don't ruin the character of the track by taking all the bumps out of it.
