Oh boy...

What’s the bet we’ll get that small gap in between the two red patches...

 

[Spacegoat]

The weather looks like it's going to be, er, interesting. Could we be in for a repeat of Adelaide 2016?

 

[Jezza819]

Rain and street courses aren't a good mix.

 

[LumpiestFish]

I went from being super excited for the rain, to now being quite worried. We could get very messy, hopefully no need to stop the race.

At least until the #17 gets close to the #97.
Marko made a point about putting the wets on. It'll be like when the main drivers jumped in the cars, while the codrivers were still circling around.

Nice move by Moffat.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Few spits of rain when on board with Moffat. I love the look of it when it’s so dark and overcast, the lights shining of the road, before the rain actually comes.

 

[05XR8]

The 888 has to stay ahead of the 1. Well, that does that.

Why didn't the 17 come in? Jeez. See?

 

[Spacegoat]

This is going to get crazy with all the co-drivers out there.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Oh man with how wet it is now, it would’ve good for it to be green for an extra lap

 

[05XR8]

Oh boy the #78.

This worked good for the 17, but bad for the 12.
Look at that, Lowndes over Wincup. I do think Richards will get a drive through.

 

[Sharky.]

Dumbrell

Premat jumped over Bamber in those stops, staying out a lap didn't work out for the 97. Wonder if anyone will come in for a driver change at 34 under this SC?

 

[Litening1]

Remember when Skaife was seeing Dumbrell was the best co-driver in the field. Its weird he’s become really quite about that over the last 2 rounds

 

[05XR8]

Yeah, get 'em in.

 

[LumpiestFish]

It’s taken a ridiculous amount of time to get Dumbrells car recovered.

 

[Sharky.]

 

[Pete05]

WTF with the Car Controllers in this category?

 

[05XR8]

That's Frosty's race done.
JC ahead of Moffat.

Done.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Courtney is now leader once the field is cleaned up

 

[Jezza819]

Jack Perkins

 

[NW48]

Looks like this'll be time certain for sure now.

 

[LumpiestFish]

If it didn’t take so long for Dumbrells car to be recovered, we might’ve had some laps before the heaviest of the rain...

I can only see about 20 or so laps being run once the race gets going again.

 

[bjl23]

I'm surprised to see whincup with a smile on his face knowing his Championship defense is over.

2019 = PD out lowdens in

 

[05XR8]

Was pit lane closed with the safety car release? So many teams didn't change drivers. Kind of a missed opportunity.

 

[Sharky.]

If the race doesn't resume, are the results determined by last lap minus one, or last green flag lap minus one? There were quite a few yellow laps before the red, and a couple of green between Dumbrell stacking it, everyone pitting and the SC coming out.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Can't stay up to wait out the delay. Will have to catch whatever's left tomorrow.

 

[05XR8]

Adelaide was worse.

 

[LumpiestFish]

I can’t see this getting going again.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah, very doubtful that this race will be resumed.

Edit: Spoke too soon.

 

[NW48]

We are getting going again in 5 minutes.
