I hate that corner. It's stupid.
I'm sure it can be modified better.

Stadium Super Trucks lose one wheel in one race and they're instantly removed from the Supercars support calendar. Supercars lose two wheels in two consecutive races, if CAMS are consistent they'll ban Supercars...

..and a brake rotor.

 

[Sharky.]

PLPs for both 1 and 97!

 

[LumpiestFish]

Woah that’s massive, I didn’t even realise 97 had one as well!

 

[Sharky.]

Neither. #1 was obvious, no idea what 97 did.

Unusual for that second call. I guess the rule extends to impeding a car, already on pit lane.

Fair penalty, the rules state that cars in the fast lane have right of way.

Karma for Dumbrell getting away with the shove on Premat early on

 

[05XR8]

Hey, six Fords in the top 10.

I’ve seen the same incident go unpenalised. Perhaps the stewards weren’t happy that the team obviously didn’t learn from their mistakes.

Aren't the stadium trucks racing next year?

 

[05XR8]

JC is in 2nd.

Edit:
Nissan should fit a rope to the door, like the dollar vans do, in Jamaica, Queens.

I don't know, but IIRC they were removed as a support category for the remainder of the 2018 season after one of them lost a wheel and it hit the overbridge at the Barbagallo round. They would have been racing on the GC if they didn't get pulled.

I hope they I love watching them at the Adelaide 500, if there not there the tickets should be half price but I've already purchased mine.

 

[Spacegoat]

JC is in 2nd.

Will he have enough fuel though? And Lowndes is closing in.

 

[05XR8]

JC must not have good fuel.
Lowndes is going to burn up his tyres. Besides, Reynolds is right there to clean up a mistake.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Pretty happy with a Mostert winning, and good to see JC just hold on for the podium.

 

[05XR8]

Amazing drive by Lowndes and Richards.
Falcon gets another last win.
Moff did good.
WAU beat DJRTP again.
Simona as lead finishing Nissan.

 

[Spacegoat]

Great drive from Courtney to hold onto 3rd. Good strategy call from the team to pit #25 early.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Aren't the stadium trucks racing next year?

Yes but not under CAMS.

Edit: Just read that James Moffat and Dale Wood’s brother had a scuffle after the Carrera Cup race. Moffat might have a bit of red mist for the race here.

Sounds like it must have been fairly serious. As Moffat has been fined and banned from competing in the Carrera Cup finale, following the incident. Quite the day yesterday for Moff.

I actually didn't expect him to hang on for a podium.

 

[05XR8]

Sure, the talk is about the top 2, but Lowndes has a chance to take 3rd from Whincup. How about he finish the season ahead of the current #1?

Why does Skaife have to repeat what Ingall says? Ingall speaks plain English. He explains his thoughts simply. Skaife still tries to simplify it more where, there's no need to.

Wouldn't that be ironic? He finally beats JDub in a Championship in his final full-time season & it isn't enough to claim the title 🤬

Hey, he's only 440 behind. ANYthing can and does happen. He's won a race from the back of the field. He won Bathurst. 750 points left. Wouldn't count him out, unless he's 301 points behind 2nd place, at Newcastle.

 

[LumpiestFish]

It’ll be very interesting if the thunderstorms do hit the race. It’s only 30-40% chance for the afternoon with most of it to come during the night. Hopefully we do get a bit of water.

 

[05XR8]

Oof. Kerb for the #17. I'd be starting Scott in the race.

Good one.

 

[Sharky.]

Man, Skaife is an idiot.

Regarding Scotty: "that kerb strike was set up by a bad first sector" - even though Scott was right on the pace in sector 1
Shane: "he's done it! Ten point seve... oh no he hasn't!"

He's worse than Crofty.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah, thought for sure that Reynolds was going to get him in the final couple of laps.
