Really looking forward to this event. It's already looking a lot greener around the circuit since I was last there late April for the Ducati Owners Club track day. Really hope it's ready for the Supercars round as it was a long way off back then. The short circuit that Seton is shown driving around hadn't even been registered as a track yet back then.

I took this picture from the roof. The little yellow dot is one of my mates on his Ducati 1098.

Pit lane.

It's ****ing long!!!!

Rabble Club (whoever they are), are now the major sponsor of Stanaway's Falcon for the rest of the season.

Looks pretty good.

After Mega last year, the 56 car seems to attract some very obscure sponsors.

I think the Hamburglar is CEO.

I think the Hamburglar is CEO.

Holy crap! That was a time warp.

The McDonald's characters take me back 40 odd years ago!

Phew! Thought I was alone there...

Narrow pit lane. You would think since it's a new track they would plan it out to be a bit wider.

 

[05XR8]

They should keep a "team" livery.

 

[Spacegoat]

Percat's car looks fantastic with that extra bit of black on the front splitter and guards. Personally I'm liking it a little more than Slade's livery,

 

[Pete05]

They should keep a "team" livery.

If the numbers on the cheque are big enough, they will.

Cars look good though don't they.

 

[ScottPuss20]

They should keep a "team" livery.

KEEP THIS so I actually know what team Percat is part of.

 

[05XR8]

Nissan's are still looking good.
Holden front splitter problems continue.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Let's hope that translates to good race pace.

 

[05XR8]

Rock and Caruso still in top 10Practice 3. Heimgartner hovering top 15. 16th now.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nissans have been strong at Darwin in recent years. Expect for at least Rick and Caruso to be in, or around the top ten all weekend.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Macauley’s car looks pretty good, white is one of the few colours that suit the ZB.

Love the Pacer in TCM.

Edit: Ugh, the "new" Camaro... beached.

Edit 2: Cool to see an S2000 on the race track.

Spoke to Cameron Tilley about that Pacer at Sandown a couple of years ago.
He's getting 500bhp out of that

Kinda wish he'd build an E55 Charger though

 

[05XR8]

Wow, what a race thisx will be. Nice top 10.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Reynolds on pole. 3 Nissans in the 10. Good stuff.

 

[Spacegoat]

If he isn't already, De Pasquale is going to be an absolute star.

 

[05XR8]

If he isn't already, De Pasquale is a going to be an absolute star.

Hadn't realised it's his first time here.

Rookie of The Year, me thinks. Poor Todd Hazelwood. I thought he'd be the one leading the rookies.

 

[LumpiestFish]

As good as De Pasquale is, he is also the rookie with the best car. I’m not trying to discredit him though, he’s exceeding expectations without a doubt. How he still doesn’t have a sponsor is beyond me.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Looks like the race directors have finally realised that (with the support categories at least), by showing endless replays of the same incident, we miss too much live racing.

Also, having switched to a Foxtel Now subscription, it’s great to finally watch Supercars in HD! The app has its quirks, but for the most part it’s a smooth experience.

 

[05XR8]

Cool how Supercars update the car liveries for the Triple M grid.

 

[05XR8]

All three manufacturers running together. Isn't it beautiful?

Simona got a good start but stuck on the outside.

Edit: Rick actually made a big gap on Whincup before catching Scott. This is good.

 

[Sharky.]

I'm happy with that result :^)

Didn't think Scott was going to hold Shane and Dave off but he did it!

 

[05XR8]

Another nice mix for the top 10.

 

[CodeRedR51]

P1 baby.
