Got a mate ( That's never been to the supercars ) who went yesterday.
He's of the opinion that the rest of us have when it comes to the superutes

understandably... a seemingly utterly pointless category. They're only really interesting when one of them happens to roll one onto it's side or roof.

smart moves by SVG on the launch to leave MCL out on the high line and squash/slow him up so that WHI could get past him. hopefully MCL can threaten the excellent front-runners of T8 throughout this race.

 

[k31th]

MCL pitting early to try for an undercut... interesting tactics...

Strange to go this long without a SC

 

[k31th]

MCL is going to spend ~10s longer than SVG in the pit and ~5s longer than WHI, so if things stay roughly where they are in terms of timings, MCL will fall back to 3rd in the final pit-stop shuffle.

Surely a safety car soon, I'll take a stab at lap 54

I was hoping with the championship basically done, they’d be throwing the elbows out a little more this weekend.

 

[k31th]

My guess is there won't be a SC at all in this race.

 

[k31th]

Whincup makes a mistake... that's pretty rare.

 

[k31th]

Teams championship... was going to be 77pts back to RBR with 1st/2nd; but is now 137pts back to RBR with a 1st/7th...

Teams championship to think about

Uncle Roland won’t be happy

even worse since Whincup fell to 8th as Scott Pye made his way forward to 6th.
edit: 143 points now. from 116 at the start of today.

He'll be funneling the money to Craig Baird to give Scotty Pye a dodgy penalty

 

[Reign Man]

With another crack at qualifying Pye might be a sneaky chance today. He was quickest on track for parts of yesterday. Having said that the forecast for rain is more likely today.

 

[k31th]

lol Percat trying to do a flick-spin to get back on track and he hits the wall... then gives his team stick on the radio and then the team are like "mate..." hahahh

 

[k31th]

SVG fluffed his lap in qualifying to get into the shootout and ended up finishing 18th... that'll make it difficult for RBR to get to the teams championship.

 

[k31th]

track is seemingly a lot slower in this shootout as compared to any session throughout the weekend.

 

[k31th]

good lap from Coulthard.

 

[k31th]

solid lap from McLaughlin to be only 2 thousandths of a second behind his teammate.

 

[k31th]

very nice lap from Whincup to go .288 up provisionally. Only Waters left to beat him.

 

[k31th]

quality lap from Waters, but he's in P2 .218 behind Whincup.

 

[k31th]

SVG docked 3 grid positions for impeding James Golding umm... what. starting from 21st now. Awkward for him.

 

[NSWCROW]

I reckon we might get some rain
