Maybe we should consider doing reverse grid races. Make it half points so in case one of the key contenders (SVG) is involved in stuff that happens in reverse grid races, the damage will be less in the points. So we can have a bit of a change to the results. And the grid for Race 3 is combined points for the weekend.

The Sydney SuperNight round has been postponed. No new date for it has been announced but with the way things are in Sydney, can't imagine that it will be anytime soon.

Yeah I think the only event I see happening in NSW at the moment is the 1000, will probably be as the same as last year with the restrictions with spectators separated on pit straight.

 

[05XR8]

If spectators at all.

 

[CodeRedR51]

2 months between rounds. Yay.

Wasn't 2021 supposed to be better than 2020? ☹️

Yeah we hoped by now that things would be a lot better. I'm thankful that i'm in Queensland. And i can't imagine what you guys in Vic and NSW are going through. I hope you are doing well.

 

[05XR8]

I'm fine in the Newcastle. My wife's family in Sydney are pulling their hairs out. If things stayed as they are here, the 500 could be doable next year. Doubt it'll happen. Permanent circuits would be best.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Really don’t care for this Qualy structure, especially when tomorrow just has the classic single sessions. Would prefer if they just had a combined practice 2 and Qualifying session.

Edit: Having the Shootout immediately after Q2 is an improvement though

 

[CodeRedR51]

Lack of tires isn't great either.

 

[LumpiestFish]

SVG still puts it on top even with a fairly sketchy lap…

 

[Spacegoat]

Got to feel for Goddard. That was looking like one hell of a good lap. Hopefully the damage is only cosmetic.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wow, T8 not having a great day with race control.

 

[Twisteddrift]

Well that was something. But something that wasn't great. Btw I say no to The Bend on bidding for the Supercars.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Btw I say no to The Bend on bidding for the Supercars.

A sentiment just about every South Australian can get behind.

Anyone else think Tander is doing a really good job commentating? I never liked him before, but his work in the pits and now calling the race has really changed my mind.

 

[Twisteddrift]

Great to see Crompo back in the Hino Hub! Hopeful we get to hear his voice back in the com box soon.

I watched a bit of the highlights of Darwin. Definitely overshadowed Skaife. Which, isn't hard to do. Didn't like him in a Holden, but since he's been in an Audi more than the SC, he's okay.

I don’t think him being paid to race an Audi in GT races has any impact on his commentary. Skaife definately gets less words in when Garths there, Mark just tends to talk over Chad Neylon.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ok, so maybe not 2 months between rounds.

Am I the only one that finds it hilarious that Roland Dane thinks Brodie Kostecki should have let Shane by ''because he owed him one'' for the turn two lap 1 overtake? That move is Shane's bread and butter and if that's seriously what RD thinks then perhaps he should have Shane park up for about a year 😜

I'm liking Brodie more and more with every race meeting! Great move! SVG... not so much. Should've got another 15 seconds for serving up Scotty Pye if the stewards were going to be consistent. Consistently inconsistent it is though

 

[CodeRedR51]

T8 front row lockout for the first race today.

Here we go again.

 

[Spacegoat]

Fullwood in the ten for both races today. That's more like it.

SVG's penalty for pushing Kostecki off was deserved. Although I found myself agreeing (shudder) with Dane that Kostecki was extremely lucky his move on the first lap didn't result in a massive accident. 15 seconds for the Pye thing might have been too harsh, I think 5 seconds would have sufficed.

I'm saying I like Garth now, than when he was driving for Holden/HRT/Walkinshaw. He also did a good job for Audi in TCR. Just having a laugh. I miss the Sly emoji.

Move was risky but nothing happened so Roland shouldn't complain. If there was an accident I'd understand his frustration, but there's no point giving back a position for something that didn't happen.

Thing is with that move is he didn't cause a massive accident and if you remove the cars that were in front of SVG and BK from the equation the move was pretty well spot on the same as SVG's move on ADP at Hidden Valley (and his move on JW last round, and his move on SMcL at this track last year etc, etc, etc.............). So does SVG now owe ADP a position from the Hidden Valley round?

And yeah, 5 secs might be about right for the Pye incident but 0 was the wrong call when there'd all ready been two penalties handed out for serving people up. I don't think Craig Baird's explanation was good enough. "He only lost one position" is not an excuse.

It's back @05XR8

My thoughts too!

Yeah, I get your point. Just thought it was a risky move to pull from that far back, on the first lap. It could have ended really badly if he had gotten it wrong.

Anyway. hopefully Waters or someone else has something for SVG in the third race.

 

[magic_town]

That was more like it, I was worried we were going to see a repeat of last weekend. At least Whincup and SVG only “raced” for the lead once this weekend.

Notice that Slade got a 15 second penalty for doing the exact same thing to Fullwood. 🤔 Consistently inconsistent is right.
