[05XR8]

The Nissans are just falling back. Come on now.

 

[Spacegoat]

Owen and Dumbrell are fighting over who will be the first to passed by Stanaway.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Owen has done a fantastic job holding Dumbrell off.

 

[05XR8]

DumBELL

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Great job Dumbrell. 👎 Sorts out Prodrive’s potential double stacking issue though.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah, that's a penalty.

 

[05XR8]

Please no safety car so this can play out.

 

[NW48]

15 second stop go penalty for Dumbrell and Whincup.

 

[Spacegoat]

15 second stop go penalty for Dumbrell and Whincup.

With the current gaps that only puts them down in 8th? Not a huge loss considering.

Meanwhile Heimgartner's lead is 17 seconds.

 

[NW48]

Reynolds and Youlden doing the driver change Dukes of Hazard style

 

[05XR8]

What a race. It was all nice and easy. As soon as the main drivers get in, it's like that Day Care scene, in Toy Story 3.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

A driver extraction hole, not too dissimilar to the Audi R8 LMS would’ve been handy in that situation. Just pop the drivers in and out.

 

[05XR8]

Commmmmme onnnnn.

 

[Spacegoat]

How did Tander's car stay off the walls?

 

[05XR8]

Coulthard's in this. Up to P10.

 

[NW48]

Aaannnddd it looks like we are time certain.

 

[Spacegoat]

You jinxed it @Andrew R

Or the GCTimeCertain

 

[05XR8]

Tiiiiiimmme certain....

Edit: Well, it's not over yet.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Holdsworth decides to add an extra chicane to the circuit while BJR decide to lose the race.

 

[NW48]

If I had a dollar for every time Crompton said "Safety cars breed safety cars"...

...you'd have enough to share with all of us.

 

[05XR8]

Just come home 1,2.

Edit: the #78 is doing real good. Hold on!

 

[05XR8]

PRA have their cars hooked up today. Good job.

Yeah. DJRTP threw this one away.

Yay! The #78 held on. Good job by Caruso and awesome for the remaining races.

Too bad Kelly Lebrocq didn't finish.

 

[05XR8]

With Red Bull 213pts behind DJRTP in the Team's C'hip, it's going to be a scrap to the finish at Newcastle.

But Ford doesn't give a crap, and still wont fund. It's interesting the stuff Ford does fund they aren't winning this season, stuff they don't fund but have valuable teams working hard to use the brand without support are winning or have won. Gee Ford might want to wake up one day.

Me and my wife were talking about that after the race.

How about this

Did anyone see the #88 take the penalty? That pit stop seemed pretty quick.

 

[IforceV8]

888 cars race with a different set of rules to everybody else, shocking.

 

[Andrew R]

Haha well Ford are getting great value for money from supercars then aren't they?

 

[turbofozz]

DJRTP just gifting the championship to 888

 

[Litening1]

Penske are no where but SVG is looking good
