The meme that will never stop giving

This will never not be hilarious

#77 stopped after the Elbow.

#22 stopped at The Esses after hitting the wall.

That's messed up the world has to deal with 7. Worse handshake ever.

3 more years of the B12H sponsored by Liqui Moly. They probably don't have a say in media packages, but jeez, they've got to at least read how viewers feel. His is ridiculous.

For those that never watched V8 Supercars, this is what every race was like before the Fox Sports deal.

 

[Northstar]

Not sure what's worse, that meme or the thinly veiled Mercedes ads.

Not sure what's worse, that meme or the thinly veiled Mercedes ads.

They're not putting the meme as a piece in the middle of a race.

 

[Northstar]

This is making me want to punch a Mercedes, not the driver, just the car itself.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Only thing I don't like about long races like this is wondering if the car that is 25 seconds ahead in the lead is actually in contention to win..

 

[Spacegoat]

Oh well, the #107 won't be getting back onto the lead lap now.

 

[jake2013guy]

Well. The #911 is into the garage. Discussions of Power Steering issues.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Naughty fuel guy.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

If I were that Porsche fuel rig man, I’d be arguing that I simply had an itchy foot.

 

[Spacegoat]

How much driving time does Matty Campbell have left? Not sure that Olsen has the outright pace to get this done, vs someone like Mostert. Or even SVG. (Despite they struggles, I'm not writing the #888 off.)

 

[twitcher]

Going off the live timing on the official website, with just under 2 hours left to go, the order of the cars remaining on the lead lap is:

Porsche
Aston Martin
Mercedes Benz
Bentley
BMW
Nissan
Mercedes


I think Campbell still has lots of time left. I think the drivers for the final run will be

Campbell
Dennis
Marciello
Soulet
Mostert
Jarvis
SVG


Game on

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Mostert was lucky not to catch the grass on the final corner and possibly spin

 

[jake2013guy]

I don't want to guess who'll finish where. Because I both don't know and don't want to guess.

 

[Spacegoat]

I think Campbell still has lots of time left. I think the drivers for the final run will be

Yeah, Chad mentioned that Olsen only has 70 minutes of driving time left, so Campbell has to hop back in. Shaping up to be a very interesting finish.

Edit: Oh yes, lets cut to another puff piece. Who wants to watch the race anyway?

 

[twitcher]

Never mind lol, Jarvis has to get out

 

[jake2013guy]

Porsche pits with 75 minutes remaining. I'd say that's 36-38 laps without a SC. It would be close.

(Yes. I edited it. I was a derp.)

 

[LumpiestFish]

It’s crazy how little SC periods there have been compared to last year. The much lower entry numbers must’ve contributed to that.

Hopefully this year isn’t spoiled by a late accident like last year.

 

[jake2013guy]

Soulet

Soucek is getting in the car by the way.

 

[Spacegoat]

Think the #912 might have thrown this away by taking tyres. They are long way behind the Aston now.

Bentley have no luck at Bathurst. Heart breaking.

 

[twitcher]

Omg the Bentley

 

[Spacegoat]

Not counting out both the Bimmer and Porsche catching #999. They're both pretty quick at the moment.

 

[05XR8]

Amazing finish coming up. BMW want to finish, Porsche want to win, T8 want to come back from earlier woes. Can AM get that fairytale send off for the what, 8yp chassis/design?

 

[jake2013guy]

There's a KTM stopped on Conrod. 34 minutes to go. Safety Car. There's the twist.

Or not...

Yes there will.

 

[Nexus]

Safety car with almost exactly 30 minutes to go...

 

[twitcher]

Safety car, all the balls are up in the air!!

Campbell might have to give that spot back to Mostert.

 

[05XR8]

Everyone should pit for tyres. You can't leave those old shoes on for this race. It's going to be frantic.

Giz has new boots. He'll get Chaz. Might put pressure on Campbell. This is going to be crazy!

 

[-Fred-]

Debatable move by Campbell there...

888 better not come out on top.
