They raised the curbs with that extra bit to prevent the drivers from using the curbs excessively.

They raised the curbs with that extra bit to prevent the drivers from using the curbs excessively.

But the kerbs are still very low. The drivers need a visual reference point for the apex.

#33 is in the garage. Apparently an issue with the steering.

That's got to be a result of Premat's collision with the tyre bundle earlier, no? Real shame.

Scratch that. Power steering issue for the #33.

The Carreras did fine without them. Sure they sit lower than a V8. Tyre bundles are used at the AGP. As mentioned, it's used more to prevent corner cutting.

Sorry for Scotty.

Bright is done.

These cars are getting beat.

As disappointing as it is, at least it helps Winterbottom recover some points.

 

[05XR8]

Wall thinks he got turned around maybe by the #17. I hope not.

Edit: it was the #55

Rick Kelly blocking Lowndes hard. He needs to watch it.

Nismo messed up. Why gamble when they should have done like everyone else? They were in 2nd.

He's doing it again. Race Control needs to do something. It's absolutely bull 🤬

Finally he lets him past. The Kelly's don't know when to give it up, do they??

 

[05XR8]

Just bad. Trying to mask a bad tyre strategy.

Yeah there was no need to be blocking that aggressively when there's so many laps left.

 

[NW48]

The #1 Red Bull Duct Tape Racing car is trundling at the rear of the field, looking very much like something out of a horror movie.

 

[ThomasJarrett]

Competition caution anyone?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Fantastic strategy by Rick's team. He's going to drop like a 🤬 rock the rest of this race. WTF were they thinking?

This race is fairly boring by the way. SVG is just running away with it.

 

[NW48]

If Tander/Luff and Winterbottom/Owens stay where they are, they will be tied on points for the Pirtek Enduro Cup.

Safety Car out.

 

[05XR8]

Competition caution anyone?

Happy?

 

[aarror]

Competition caution anyone?

You called it

 

[NW48]

Then Rick Kelly runs over it after everyone ahead of him misses it.

 

[Spacegoat]

Competition caution anyone?

Boom. There you go.

Make for an interesting finish at least.

 

[05XR8]

2 lapped cars ahead of Reynolds. It'll be a race from 2nd in back.

The HRT garage are sweating about now.

 

[Spacegoat]

Damn it shame for Holdsworth and Slade.

Move out of the freakin way Heimgartner!!

 

[NW48]

Big damage on Holdsworth's car.

Heimgartner screwed this mid pack race up by not getting out of the way.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Courtney not happy

 

[05XR8]

Look at that wall slomo.

Burgess

Reynolds is just outmatched.

At least the #17 made up more spots.

 

[aarror]

Lowndes needs to get past Reynolds so we can have a fight for the win.

 

[NW48]

Someone needs to take that microphone away from Morris. That interview with Burgess was cringeworthy to say the least.

 

[05XR8]

Lowndes late on the brakes is just crazy.

RKelly is a bum(b). 👎

 

[aarror]

Total dominance from Tekno. Congrats to Van Gisbergen and Webb, they didnt put a foot wrong all race. Decent racing through the pack, see you guys tomorrow for the next one
