Today’s race has been a lot less lively than yesterday’s.

Strange that Courtney has had 3 failures for the weekend, while Pye hasn’t had any.

I forgot that it was Fabian in the lead and not Scott lol.

I've never been a brand loyalist. I've always followed drivers instead of badges.

Yeah so can I, but my thinking was, as in 'hard to pass', more of a follow on to the post above mine.
Edit: A fair assessment by RD. https://www.speedcafe.com/2019/04/15/dane-whincup-garage-needs-to-take-a-long-hard-look-at-itself/
And I think this part from RD is telling from what I've read about linear springs:
“That side of the garage needs a long hard look at itself. We spent too much time chasing gold when gold wasn’t achievable for anyone apart from one team this weekend.''
They might have to stop chasing that perfect feel they used to get with trap springs, because apparently it's unobtainable according to most other teams. DJRTP have the best compromise in suspension settings now.

The two during yesterday's race were certainly weird. Would have thought that they would have rectified the issue after Saturday but apparently not.
Perfect.

Yeah, I hope so too, but I think Todd has the right idea. I don't think there's much point in switching manufacturer until Gen3 comes out from a cost perspective.
And now you've got me feeling all nostalgic thinking about how much I miss seeing the Volvo and Merc on track. It's going to be a shame to see the Altima go too
, but at least it will still be around in S2 for a while.

I wouldn't be to quick with you're wallet
. Turns out they thought it was debris on Saturday so they may not have changed the car much for Sunday.https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/courtney-apologised-to-hazelwood-for-clash/

If that's the case & it is set-up related, the tyres that eventually blew on Sunday would've lasted roughly the same distance as the single tyre that popped on Saturday.I wouldn't be to quick with you're wallet

I don't have the numbers so I can't help there.

Courtney also said ''We had a tyre drama at Tassie as well, so something has carried over.'' and that makes me wonder if it is really setup related, because if so, why doesn't it happen to Scott Pye? They could be running different settings I suppose, but three blowouts in exactly the same spot is more than just coincidence I feel. I think we'll just have to wait and see if they reveal the cause.
