2017 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship - Results and TalkTouring Cars

[Spacegoat]

I doubt RBHRT will have a spot to "experiment" with Taylor, in a potential Championship winning car.

Whack Taylor in with Lowndes. Kind of get the feeling that Richards' time might be up anyway.

Richards is more reliable than speedy but, he can deal with the way Craig likes his car 'on the nose' handling wise.

If Craig doesn't perform better than this year in 2018, I'm fairly certain he'll be the co-driver in 2019.
Who he drives with is the question I'd love to know.

The support categories look pretty cool this weekend.

That GT1-GT4 grid looks promising. Also,m seeing the NZ V8 tourers live. With the Nissan and Toyotas in the mix. The BMW V8, must be the old GTR. Unless it's a GTC/MARC V8, with the M235 body.

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me much either. My guess would be that he'd partner up with Whincup again.

 

[05XR8]

Now that would be a lethal combination. Again...

He should team up with Prodrive and run a GT4 Mustang. Also grab an XC Coupe to run in TCM.

And do guest drives in Heritage Touring Cars driving the Rothmans VL Commodore.

Might as well cash in on that name with vintage racing. Steve Johnson ain't doing too bad.

On a different note, about the Pukekohe Support races. Pieces of cars, engines, all over the track, from these track day specials.

Was worried that I wouldn’t be home for qualy, an hour later and we basically haven’t started lol.


4th straight weekend to feature wet running.

 

[05XR8]

Wow. Combined Practice 1&2 determined Pole for race 1. Going to be crazy today.

 

[Spacegoat]

Very apt that Waters gets pole.

Why though???? I don't like Cam Waters at all, he has been responsible for 3 crashes this year. One of which being the mega pile-up at Symmons Plains.

His name... Waters... water... wet... rain...

He's matured from last year. I mean, Giz is still belting people off. Moffat is crashing cars. chaz has made mistakes. All the drivers had made mistakes through the year. Do I have to point out Dale wood?

 

[Spacegoat]

Why though????

Because of the weather.

Bad attempt at a pun, I know.

 

[05XR8]

Looked like one of those NZV8 Commodores has paddle shift. Yep, Simon Evans' car. I don't mind it. Wouldn't bother me if VASC went that way.

 

[05XR8]

DIRTY!!!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ran him off the road...

 

[Spacegoat]

Looks like SVG has been teaching Whincup a few tricks. Punk move that was.

 

[05XR8]

Need more laps.

 

[Nismonath5]

McLaughlin's got serious balls trying Whincup twice, at the exact same spot!

Quite cool watching the V8's racing at my home track

 

[05XR8]

They really screwed Coulthard. Even though he still doesn't seem fast enough, they should have shadowed the #97.

 

[Nismonath5]

At least McLaughlin finally got to give Whincup a taste of his own medicine

 

[05XR8]

YES!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Of course they are unhappy. But they should open their eyes and see that the wheels locking screwed with Whincup's steering and sent him off.

Karma is a bitch.

 

[05XR8]

Please no. Hope the #17 is all good.

 

[Nismonath5]

Please no. Hope the #17 is all good.

Definately a bit hazy, hopefully it can last 20 laps.
