Good point.

I wonder what that clock is counting down.

It's counting down to midnight on March 15th, and the Australian Grand Prix race meeting begins on March 15th - even if the cars don't take to the circuit for another twelve hours after that.

I know, it's silly.

Canberra has been talking up the idea of returning to the calendar:

They reset the clock, so now it's counting down to the beginning of the race which starts right when I get home from work.

Is it in speed?

Is it in speed?

No. Hoping someone is streaming it.

[R1600Turbo]

Is anything being televised today?

[Cap'n Jack]

Nope, no coverage for today unfortunately. Coverage starts at 12:00 PM AEST tomorrow.

[prisonermonkeys]

Not in Australia, no. The telecast doesn't start until 12pm tomorrow afternoon. Although the arrangement this year gives all the breakfast television programmes access to Albert Park, so there will probably be some coverage from the paddock. You won't be missing out on much, though. Except maybe Yumi Stynes:



TV listings for Australia.

Oh okay. Thanks.

The only reason I watch The Circle.

[prisonermonkeys]

Only reason why I watch it, too.

[R1600Turbo]

Anyone know where to find hi-res photos? (wallpaper size)

Edit: Of the cars.

[prisonermonkeys]

Are you sure you don't want high-res pictures of Yumi?

Because that I can do for you.

[R1600Turbo]

Honestly, not really feeling her.

she's pretty nice

And race one is underway. As usual, Whincup is already off in the lead making a bit of a gap on the rest of the field. And a huge pack of cars has already pitted after one lap, Whincup has lost a few spots due to a problem getting one of the wheels on.

[R1600Turbo]

Edit: Never mind.

[prisonermonkeys]

Well, the racing was pretty meh. It wasn't nearly as intense as it was planned to be.

Still, it was nice to see FPR perform. As Tim Edwards said during the broadcast, Albert Park was the round the team considered to be their worst in 2011, so a good result here would be construed as a sign of progress. And coming off the back of their strong showing in Adelaide, it only reaffirms that they've gotten their act together.

Since Campbell Little joined FPR it was a question of when - not if - they'd get their act together. The start of this season points to them finally getting their act together, since they usually have a very poor start to the season.
