The point I was trying to make is that Penske's NASCAR sponsors do not foreshadow any potential sponsors should he enter V8 Supercars.
 
JC on pole for the first of today's races. 👍 Percat in the top ten for both too, really been impressed with his speed over the past couple of rounds.
 
Watch that Volvo!
Todd Kelly in 9th. I think he's going to get bullied.
Erebus are going to have a tough time with the Nisan "Wrecking Crew" behind.
Good work by JC.
This track is fast. Lovin' it.
 
McLaughlin gets a two-spot penalty for the first race, and will start fifth. He blocked Whincup when Whincup was on a flier, even though he was turning into a corner at the time and had no way to un-block but to go off the road.

Haven't you seen Puke before?
 
Dahlgren sticks it into the wall with 2 mins of the session remaining robbing Rick Kelly of pole. McLaughlin on pole for the main one.

Your first post. That sucks for Scottie. He moved out the way.
For sure I've seen past races. Still gets my heart pumping 👍

"The Future" starts P1 for race 3! He could still win race 2. Too bad for Dahlgren. Looked good for a possible top 10.

👍

Just realised that Lowndes is starting 15th in this first race today, obviously it's dependent on how the races plays out but it's big opportunity for Winterbottom to take a chunk out of his points lead.
 
I love it! "I'm ****, bro." When Titanium asked him(McLaughlin) to sing with them.

Brights on a charge though...and scottys catching whingecup...

10 places from dead last, not bad for Brighty

Bright craving through the field on fresh tyres after that drive-thru, up to 12th now.

And Lowndes drops to 16th, his points lead over Winterbottom is taking a huge hit.

Real happy to see HRT getting consistent podiums, makes a nice change after the last few years they've had. :lol:

Good for FPR, rather see those two on podium than a 1 and 888. Overall it was an okay race more action in the middle and back than up front. Still good to watch.

Oh Barretts PLEASE! Cut his mic off. The race is about to start.
 
Awesome exchange between SVG and McLaughlin.
 
SVG gets a 25-point penalty for Tandering Bright.
 
Some awesome racing today, I love getting to see races three days in a row :)
 
2nd race today was mega. Happy to see Giz get the win and Scotty end up 3rd. Also good to see Frosty and JC up there aswell. Bring on sunday
 
Frosty still needs to be more aggressive. He has the fastest car. Just like a DNF early in the season could bite at the final round, not getting the maximum 50 points can hurt too.

Man watching the replay on Speed last night, that exchange between McLaughlin and van Gisbergen was insane, both guys were driving right on the limit. The attitude on Shane's car when he chucked it into the first corner. :crazy: Awesome stuff.
 
You can't call it the "Blue Devil".

It's kind of like naming a sporting team - you need to pick qualities that reflect your style of play. "Devil" suggests unrelenting fury or aggression, and I don't think that suits the S60. When I see the S60 in action, it's very fluid, and almost graceful, if one tonne of racing car can indeed be called graceful. It's more about precision than it is brute force. It has an almost avian quality to it.
 
.5 SECONDS COVERS THE FIELD. Aggressive will be the word of today. Pit for fresh tyres at any safety car. Points matter today. If Scottie can't pull away before the first pit stops, just stay out of trouble.
The FPR boys running defence for Frosty is the best way to steal good points from the top runners.

I figured NISMO would come good. One more place for Erebus and all 5 finish in the top 10. Excellent for the sport.
