What a tosser move from Tander...

Did you not see what Fiore did? That was absolutely stupid. You don't move over when a car has overlap with you. Return of serve. Nothing wrong with Tander's move. If Fiore didn't block him and try to run him off the track, and Tander still hit Fiore, then it would have been a problem.

 

[05XR8]

Doubt it.

Thought I'd just complete the set.

Bad luck for the #7.

Well, better to lose spots now for the 17 and let Pye make a strong run at the end.

 

[aarror]

Scotty Mac moving up the order

 

[LumpiestFish]

Rain hasn't done anything to Whincup

 

[CodeRedR51]

Red Bull is running away with this one.

 

[05XR8]

Giz is coming. Ambrose just can't cope. This will be a quick 60 laps.

 

[TDZdave]

Holdsworth is a big surprise atm

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Nothing wrong with Tander's move.

Except for, you know, deliberately tagging someone at over 200km/h being the sort of thing that could get someone killed if it goes wrong. Tander should have been disqualified on the spot.

Holdsworth is a big surprise atm

Good for him. I don't want a Holden on the top step but, glad he has some good luck. Fast car.

So it's fine to block and attempt to run someone off at over 250km/h with a concrete wall just a small touch away... Right. Love your logic there. And I highly doubt Tander's bump was over 200km/h.

What?? Fiore kept on moving over on him

 

[05XR8]

Thought Ambrose would come in for tyres. He's not doing too bad.

And Tander deliberately drove into him. Two wrongs don't make a right, and Tander has a documented history of this sort of thing.

 

[Spacegoat]

Holdsworth is a big surprise atm

Yeah, he's got good pace in the wet. Bourdais did a great job keeping the car straight.

 

[05XR8]

Frosty back in the race.

 

[ThomasJarrett]

He's doing alright considering he hasn't raced here in 10 years

 

[Spacegoat]

Giz is coming.

Webb still has to get back in that car though. Hasn't filled his quota of laps.

And just as I post that, Webb does jump back in.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Frosty back in the race.

Garry Rodgers did say that the first person onto slicks would win the race.

That splotch of weather happened at the right time, this will be the most intriguing 50 laps of any V8 super car event in recent history, it could all come together and could all fall apart at any moment in these conditions for anyone, the fields been jumbled, this just got interesting...

 

[LumpiestFish]

Tander on wets still I'm assuming?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Volvo sticker wants to depart the car.

Definitely agree. That rain has really lit this race up.

 

[Spacegoat]

Slicks according to their Twitter.

 

[NW48]

Heart in mouth moment there. Kelly rammed Davison quite hard in The Chase.

Wow, aero instability on display there.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I honestly don't think Rick needed to give that spot back.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Can someone explain how a car behind can upset the aero without touching him? Compton mentioned it but I don't understand how that could work

 

[NW48]

Better to be safe than sorry, I guess.

Happens in NASCAR all the time. If you put the car in just the right spot it takes the air off the spoiler of the car in front.

Truuuue.

Truuuuuue.

Truuuuuue.

Coulthard laying down some quick times. Tander did as well that lap but I think he's too far back to make any noise. Still a long to go though.
