Only problem I have, is that there's going to be a month break between Gold Coast at the end of October and Adelaide in early December. A long wait, especially if the championship is still up for grabs.

The one thing I have always disliked about this series is the long waits between rounds.Just been given the go ahead by Supercars.

Revised livery for Fullwood. This works way better than the blue he ran at SMP, imo.

I hope we don't lose this classic track too. But it's not looking good.
Should make for an interesting race, at least in the mid-field anyway.

It’s a bit scrappy out there so far. Safety car won’t be far away.

It's borderline the moves on Cam and WD but there are ok. It's hard racing but it's also smart because he isn't allowing them to have the chance to do anything because of the sidedraft. But the move can go wrong as we saw with Frosty and Reynolds which took out Chaz. So it's borderline because we saw what can happen if it goes wrong.

While personally I think the move on WD was okay and the one on Cam was borderline (leaning more to the illegal side) both moves were actually against the rules. I've highlighted the relevant part.

Edit: Just spotted this on Speedcafe...
Definitely illegal imo.... and no Cam you won't be able to give it back. How does he not know this yet!!!

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of contact, but if you have to essentially impede the driver you’re overtaking then that’s not fair. Haven’t similar moves been penalised on the final corner of Townsville?

Hmm... interesting indeed. Well this is gonna cause the usually politics on brand lines about what the rule is. Putting my Holden hat off and looking at the rule you've highlighted he should've been penalised. For some reason it wasn't even looked at. So it comes down to interruption. Obviously for all of us it's different to Shane's and the stewards on what's ok and what's not.

Yep, it comes down to interpretation, and unfortunately this is where Supercars are consistently inconsistent with their rulings. Bad luck they don't actually go by the rule book.
Rubbing's racing is fine by me but unloading the oppositions rear end to gain an advantage is beyond that, hence my difference of opinions on the WD and CW incidents with SVG. While there was a fair amount of contact in both incidents the WD seemed far more side to side than the blatant unloading of Cam's car. Classic bump and run!

Turn 5 is going to be wild on the opening lap, if today is anything to go by. First Feeney and now J. Kostecki in that wall.
Edit: Easy to say in hindsight but I do wonder what DJR and Erebus were thinking pitting both cars for soft's so early in the race.

What’s the deal with everyone just letting SVG through? I think Randle and Davison are the only people I’ve seen put up a fight so far.

I wonder if doing a free trial of Kayo through a VPN would work. 🤔

Someone on facebook said they are able to watch them through SuperView on the website, not on YouTube.
Edit: Unfortunately a YouTube SuperView membership doesn't give you access to the website version. Go figure.

Well, if it makes you feel any better. You didn't miss out on anything with the third race.

Can confirm this does work. I helped out a mate in New Zealand a couple years back who had no other way of watching Bathurst.

Was expecting the worst when SVG cleared Chaz so easily, before the pit stops. Great work from WAU crew to get Chaz back out in front. Doubt we'll see a mistake like that from SVG again anytime soon.
And massively impressive weekend from Grove. Less so from Tickford.

Haha, I had called it and was about to get up and go to the shops before the Grand Prix started. Then SVG had his lock up.

Have to say, I'm really looking forward to the series going back to Perth this weekend. I've missed that track the past couple of years. It's produced some good action in the past. Just wish the the third race was on a little bit later time, like the Saturday one.
