Reynolds has set a 2:05:731

EDIT- Topped by Fabian, 2:05:478, which tops the record from last year.

Oh Dayum 2:05:478

And it's only Thursday practice. What will they be doing in qualifying? Crazy!

Who knows!
Maybe into the 2:04s?

Watching the race last night, I loved how bumpy the track used to be. It's like driving on a billiard table now.

 

[05XR8]

Watching what I missed. The E63 need some gold Daytons and a boomerang antenna.

The #4 looks good on tv.

That blue on the #62 is nice.

 

[05XR8]

Oh man! Reynolds might not have a drive after this one...

 

[Andrew R]

Hahaha, 25k is a hefty price for a smart remark.

 

[ThomasJarrett]

Not very smart from Davey but its not worthy of a 25k fine

 

[NW48]

I've heard worse and haven't seen that sort of fine handed out. It was all in jest, I think some people need to stop being so politically correct. It was a stupid remark, but the consequence was just as stupid.

For those wondering what happened; here.

And now he's apologized.

 

[Andrew R]

It's so over the top, it's not like it was a malicious comment, when I first read the headline I thought he must've said something stupid while stuck behind them on track or something, not during a press conference, in the middle of him heaping praise on them.

When I read the headline, I thought he said something much, much worse than what he said to Tander earlier this year after Winton. It's a big overreaction, as you said, and really exposes the problem of Australian Sport becoming so politically correct as of late.

I hope this article is true, knowing the creators credibility it probably isn't,

Interesting for sure.

That just makes the unpunished event bad, not this one an over reaction. It was a stupid unnecessary comment and not really what the sport needs if its trying to be inclusive to a wide audience.

Confirms my long held view he is a knobhead without a track record of proven talent to justify being a knobhead.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ambrose looks quick. Good lap from Alex Buncombe as well.

 

[Spacegoat]

It was all in jest,

With you on political correctness in Australian sport but even in jest, it's an utterly terrible comment for Reynolds to make. 👎

It was a stupid unnecessary comment and not really what the sport needs if its trying to be inclusive to a wide audience.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[05XR8]

Pye does a 2.05.2!

Pye reportedly hit 304km/h during his record lap #V8SC

Whincup throws down a 2:04.91s lap to go P1 #V8SC

 

[TDZdave]

Wow

 

[Spacegoat]

2:04.9? And it's not even qualifying. Insane.

 

[saveimageas]

WHINCUP !!!!!!


2.04.9097

 

[CodeRedR51]

2:04 lap on-board video

Edit:

 

[twitcher]

Just got a chance to watch some of the practice sessions...hot damn that retro Nissan livery on the #23 is beautiful

 

[Spacegoat]

Mostert bins it on the approach to Forest Elbow! Huge damage to the #6!

 

[CodeRedR51]

That was extremely ugly. Hard hit.

 

[aarror]

Holy 🤬 that was huge! Hope Mostert is okay, that was scary

 

[NW48]

Wow. Big hit at the Elbow. Mostert is reporting some pain in his legs

 

[prisonermonkeys]

To go into the wall there is very unusual; to go in at that angle suggests that he either made a mistake or had a catastrophic failure.

 

[FahrerGott]

Hopefully no flying parts injured any spectators. The car just shed everything on it as it span around!

Those marshalls were ridiculously lucky.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh, hopefully those marshals are ok.
