Any idea when they switched from a Flash(?) to a Brightcove player for us international Superview livestream subscribers? Because it just.
Doesn't.
Load.
For.

Well they added this to the stream page since the last session:

"If you are experiencing issues please ensure your browser is not blocking any scripts. Alternatively try streaming from a tablet or mobile device."

No idea how to check for blocked scripts. And I don't want to use a mobile device, I want to use my PC. I think if they are going to make a big change like this they need to inform the subscribers. This could potentially block them completely out for the rest of the season, which is uncalled for.

Edit: Mobile isn't working for me either. This is bull:censored:.

I'm running Chrome on my PC and I clicked the icon at the right of the address bar to unblock the scripts that are "unsafe" and blocked by default and that seems to have cured it. Silly that that needs to be done, though.
 
Coulthard now has a lot of work to do if he wants to get some points today.

Thanks, that fixed it for me too. Good looking out.
 
Slade seriously messed that up. There'd be all Fords ahead of him.
 
Maybe Walkinshaw should give Courtney back Tander's old cursed chassis. Surely his luck couldn't be any worse with it. :crazy:
 
Sucks for Courtney and Fabs. C'mon Chaz... :guilty: Looks like Red Bull are coming back.

Geez, unlucky 7. Todd should really step aside. How many more signs does he need?

Just hand Red Bull positions like usual.
 
Chaz looking better at the end.
What happend and to Rick? He wasn't that far behind Pye when they left pit lane.

Edit: Booooo. That wasn't Caruso's fault. Dumb move by the mechanics. Points should be deducted from the team's C'hip, not have a drive thru.

Not a big fan of the long races at this track. It's a pretty short track, which I find aren't usually that suitable for long races.
 
Did it look like Tander cut that corner to anyone else? Seemed to me he went under the rumble strips.

You might not enjoy the Newcastle 500. Then again, the main difference will be the elevation changes at Newwie. It's going to be like Monaco for V8s. Can't wait.

Im really liking the look of the layout so I'm definitely excited. Maybe after a couple of years once we've settled in I might feel differently.


It would be cool if they started the race here at Townsville about 20-30 minutes later and had the sun properly down for the end of it.

And the narrow roads. The climb past Fort Scratcheley is going to be tight.

Definitely. The right hand kink before the crest, is going to be hairy. Hopefully we get to see a virtual driver's seat view soon.

Edit: A bit of headlights on at Townsville would be alright.
 
Well, that's a quick way to turn an 86 into a 43...


Edit: Scott with a 1:12.031. Faster than yesterday and still the Shootout to come.

Surprising to see Coulthard miss out on the shootout. :crazy:

Didn't make the ten either but slightly better signs from Courtney, hopefully he can avoid getting caught up in any first lap shenanigans this afternoon.
 
If Scotty can continue this strategy of getting a good quali time early in the session to save a set of tires for the race, he'll be seriously hard to beat.
 
Pye did good yesterday. So, maybe Courtney can move up after possible Turn 1 mayhem.

Almost all the Fords top 10. Yeah, Fans is in serious damage control. He might have to be aggressive at the start. Bright hooked up pretty good.
Lowndes is not happy.
 
It's good to see all the Fords are finally getting it together.

R.Kelly did good. Just needs to finish where he starts.
I'm also looking at the #78. If she can qualify midfield the rest of the season, shell have a crack at the top 10.
 
Good start by the S2 Nissans.
Throw that finish in the bin.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to have a brainfart.
 
I'm not been going to attempt to call this one. However, if Frosty gets another of his famous rocket starts, this might bunch the field up early on.
 
Reynolds had an absolutely amazing start there.
 
Fabs is having a weekend to forget. Surely that bump on Slade will be a drive through
 
I thought SVG had a great start! Clearly Reynolds did one better..

15 second time penalty, apparently. Think that's fair, a drive thru would have been too harsh for that. Looked liked he locked up the rears going into the corner?
