Prisonermonkeys nightmare, driving through the fake ads.

Youlden needs to stay off the curbs. Just don't like him since he messed up Wil Davison's possible Bathurst win.
 
Gone out for a half-time skate, the Supercars website is being a bit funny for me - could anyone tell me when the second race starts?

As of this very moment, 1 hour and 15 minutes from now.
 
Today has gone well so far...:banghead:

Massive crash.

Le brocq involved.
 
All the replays they showed of the start. Makes me wonder why they never showed the vision from Perkins car? I think Canto was really hard done by, getting a penalty for that.

Tander looks very hungry. I had doubts about Mostert defending Whincup or attacking him, due to how poor the Prodrive cars are in the early race, which would've lead to Whincup running away. So this is looking good!
 
The Future is coming.

Sorry, Wil. Cheeseburger gave you a love tap. No penalties for that. Suck it up.

Edit: okay, I missed that Courtney bump. That was fair.

Don't let certain other race fans hear you say that. It's not proper you know ;)
 
:cheers:

I think I would start my main driver tomorrow. Make a gap or pick up places. Then, let the codriver do the middle stint.
 
What the hell was that fast lap all about, just to say you were never going to catch me...

Probahly because he was one of the few who weren't re-addressing their position. :p

The Fords need help.

Looking good for Volvo and Nissan.

I'd say both HRT cars a have a shot at staying with the #88 if Dumbrell starts.
 
Meh.

At least Caruso picked up a few spots at the end there since everyone else couldn't stay off each other.

Volvo's are fast.

If by Nissan you mean Caruso, sure.

To be fair, Chaz Mostert and Cameron Waters got a little bit of bad luck there and Fabian had to let positions go so he wouldn't hit and run.

Couldn't tell of Perkins was hitting him or Canto chopped the nose off the HRT car under braking.

Lap 1 hasn't gone well in any category today :|
 
Fabs did have to rederess, but the #97 was quicker.

Mostert wasn't setting the timing sheets alight. So, don't know if he was pushing.

Rick wasn't falling back and his speed was better than what Ingall dealt with earlier.

Like I mentioned, I'd have the main drivers start. Especially Volvo. Could be a real chance for them set the pace.
 
Really encouraged by the pace of both HRT cars so far this weekend. Particularly Tander/Luff, the new car seems to be working well.

Fair call, he could have chopped the front of Perkins when he locked it up. It's hard to tell exactly what happened without seeing the footage from the #22.

That's the problem with this "qualifying" format. Even if van Gisbergen is penalised for the move on Coulthard (and deservedly so), Coulthard has both his qualifying race and his Sandown 500 compromised.
 
It's silly because next month, they'll do qualifying and top 10 Shootout. The same at the GC.

Today's format just ruins it.
