The GTR looks good with blue highlights instead of the red ones.
 
Blue Man Group go driving, where are the drums?
 
And...

EDIT: It's back.
 
Shame the V8 Supercars drivers aren't in it this year. Stupid decision by the TV company to do their practice to deliberately clash. SVGs charge across the mountain in the orange McLaren last year is one of the racing highlights I'll always remember and this race is what has really turned me on to endurance racing.
 
R8 hits a Bentley and now the other Bentley spins. :lol:
 
Bowe spun on leaving the pits in the Bentley :lol:.
 
Bentley spin at the 2nd turn. Cold tires.

Bentleys not having the luck with drive-throughs & spins

Blame the 12-Hour organisers. V8SC already work around several major sporting events, and they have a schedule that they need to keep. The 12-Hour had more scope to change its date.

What? The 12 hour had the date long before V8SC, and they have teams coming from all over the world. Much easier for V8SC to schedule around.

More importantly though, V8SC banned their drivers from taking part. Drivers could have practiced at Bathurst thursday/friday, done the V8 test Sat/Sun morning and then raced at Bathurst Sunday afternoon. Teams were running endurance drivers at the test, so it wouldn't have made a difference anyways.This was V8SC and Fox being petty, they are to blame.

From checking the live timing, it's showing a nice battle forming in the "AP" class 1st to 3rd in it are 2 seconds from each other with an old BTCC driver in it Alex Macdowall :D.
 
I'm gonna go back on the stream
 
C'mon Alex get em :D!

SC for a spun Mazda.
 
RX8 spun and in the middle of the road. Steering is broken I think.
 
I bet he was sitting there praying. One of the Beemers locked up when it saw him.

V8SC compete in a dozen events over the season. Each one needs preparation and cool-down times, all of which must be worked around several major sporting events later in the season, plus the availability of the Eastern Creek circuit. A scheduling conflict was always a potential outcome, and I think it is unreasonable to expect V8SC to work around that as well. Especially when there is talk of using the 12-Hour to establish an Asia-Pacific GT Series. There are fifty-one other potential weekends for the 12-Hour to be run, so they have the most potential to reschedule.

V8SC drivers are V8SC drivers first, and everything else second. It's like any other job. If your obligations clash, you follow your first employer.
 
The Canto-Bell-Macdowall battle rages on through the traffic!

Bowe vs Canto... :lol:
 
Ginetta off the track at the beginning of Conrod.
