Well at least a Red Bull car didn't win. Weird how Holden & Ford split the top 10 perfectly with 5 cars each. Unfortunately Ford was at the bottom half.
Bring on the next one with all the Fords up front.
Happy to see my favourite driver McLaughlin get the win, and good fights throughout the field.
I've raced against him on iRacing, he's a good guy, took time to chat with some of us after the race. That was when he was still in the Dunlop series, its cool to see him winning races in the main series now.
That WAS weird. It would have been a Rookie 1,2 if Mostert wasn't rubbed wide. again, Volvo MUST give that young man a fast car.
Another damp race and we'll see more excitement at the start for sure.
So far, good weekend for HRT & DJR.
Holdsworth needs a rabbits foot. And at least, none of the drivers at Nissan can say one has a better car than the other.
Well, had Slade not run off, no doubt he would be leading. the car is pretty quick this race. Easy come easy go.
I'm pretty upset the team didn't tell Holdsworth there was oil. he was moving up.
Slade up to 11th. I'm fuming. I hope Mostert can hold on though. What a race for the Rookies.
Oh well. Big congrats to Chaz Mostert, on his first win. And not to mention, Slade finishing 8th (probably could have won though) and the Nissan's of Rick & Todd Kelly in 9th & 10th. 👍
Well, great result for DJR! Awesome to see after they almost didn't make the grid this year. Chaz and Scotty have certainly shown they're going to be fighting for championships in the future, great drives by both.
The tire failures were downright weird though, shame that they ruined what could have been an awesome finish.
And if he hadn't gone off track early on, Slade could have been up on the podium too. Great job by him, and by Erebus for stepping up their game.
good race. a day for the Rookies. Great for DJR! FPR as well. we just watched racing history. The E63s look speedy due to the cooler weather. shame about Courtney. Good for the Kelly brothers to get in the top 10. Like Bernie Eccelstone says, you want good racing? Add water.
Whincup won the 60/60
McLaughlin won race 23
Mostert won race 24
they're replaying the race tonight at 11/1130pm? 7mate
I think the 60/60 tomorrow at 1pm. Then, race 23 & 24 Tuesday.
Funny, if you asked me the question at the start of the year, which one of the new manufacturers would win first, I'd have said Nissan hands down. Not anymore though, in the last month or two Erebus (Tim Slade specifically) have made giant leaps with their development. Really think they are going to win a race sooner rather than later.

I think they were more worried about handling, and then let speed come. They are showing some huge gains which I'm glad to see! Nissan I think seemed to want the speed though.
The bad thing is I'm pretty much bailing on FPR as a whole.
Erebus main problem is overheating. once they can manage that and the brake rotor issue, they could make serious gains. I hope they have some solution by Sandown. if it's hot there and/or they're in traffic, it'll be a looooong day. especially at The Mount.
