Is it me or does it seem like there's half as many cars on the track than what we started with?

Back to the live feed. Booo

Y'all have a channel called 7Mate..... I don't know why I find that so funny, but I do

I feared this day you international guys would find out. It's our greatest embarrassment.

For some reason, it's only available for free-to-air viewers. Foxtel subscribers don't get it. It's because Seven have control over which channels they make available to pay television, and for some reason they don't make 7mate available.

It's really crap TV too, except for the NFL and the odd sporting event haha

Channel 7 probably have the most consistently-poor programming in the country. It's like they're in a race to the bottom with Channel 9 to broadcast the most garbage. Channel 7 only "wins" because Channel 9 have Go! and Gem.

And you don't want anyone looking up the ads that I introduced that channel...

No more pit stops? How many AP cars are on the lead lap?

No more pitstops needed for the leaders. 4 cars on the lead lap: #59 McLaren, #1 Nissan, #10 Bentley and the #2 Audi

Gis is just cruising. So, hope that Chiyo isn't burning those tyres.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Chico is on a charge again, just like last year

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ugh, traffic.

 

[LumpiestFish]

A safety car would be insane right now

 

[NW48]

A safety car would be insane right now

Definitely what this race needs for a tight finish, but I can't see it happening. So Van Gisbergen has it in the bag easily.

Say, I'd love the headlines to read Godzilla Part 2 but,...

 

[NW48]

Why doesn't a MARC Car spin when you need it to.

 

[Nexus]

That leading McLaren looks gorgeous

 

[NW48]

#60 McLaren having issues in the pitlane. Just struggles back onto the track.

Silly question but what exactly is Stix? I keep seeing cars sponsored by it but I have no idea what it represents.

Candy/lollies. Licorice.... "sticks"

 

[Blitz24]

Candy/lollies.

Thank you. I thought it might have had a US/Euro equivalent and all of the sponsors looked like candies but I couldn't tell for sure.

They're a flavoured licorice produced by Darrel Lea, a chocolatier brand.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That Porsche the GT-R almost hit hasn't been in the race all day and now they are just a rolling road block. Should park that thing.

I've actually had Darrell Lea licorice. They are very good but sticky to the teeth.

 

[Nexus]

What happened to the lights of the Bentley? I've only been watching for the last 45 minutes.

 

[aarror]

Why? They have the same right to finish the race as everyone else. After the issues they had earlier, crossing the line at the end of the race will be like a victory for them.

Tyre went and damaged the guard.

It is also owned by the Quinn Family, who have a 650S in this race, and run the Australian GT Championship.

 

[NW48]

Well, should just get the congratulations out of the way. Congrats to Van Gisbergen and Tekno on their 12HR win, McLaren GT's first major win since the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

But but, right at THAT moment, could have(but it didn't) ruined Chiyo's race.

If they don't win then you are Murray Walker.

There's 6 minutes left, somehow I feel it's too early to start talking about a McLaren win...

It was parked for 10 hours. Now it's a rolling road block.
