Volvo on pole, 3 Nissan's in the top 10 for the first race today. Good stuff.
 
Yeah the Altimas are definitely on the pace. Scottie goes one higher than Whincup for most poles. That's a good title to have for Volvo.
 
Red Boooo on pole for race 2, but 3 more Nissan's right up there. 👍
 
i missed Qualy. what happened to Moffat, Giz and Coulthard?

just read about it. anyways, good to see the Nissans top 10. i hope race pace is just as good.

Not enough pace from the Walkinshaw cars, hopefully they're better in the race. Good see McLaughiln on pole again for the first one and the Nissan's in the top ten. 👍 (Todd Kelly 4th though? :crazy:)
 
I know the race is about to start. My attention has been drawn to this new Cadillac ATS Coupe right now. What if GM were to promote the brand here? With new regs, it could be a Holden or Cadillac branded car. coupe or 4 door sedan. I think it could work. The thing looks too good to be missed in Australia.

Enjoy the first race!

Frosty messed up and Whincup is keeping his nose clean to win it.

This is not good...

Pity that Tander didn't have a better qualifying run. Looks like he has a really good race car, a couple of laps more and he would have had Whincup. McLaughlin though, awesome drive by him with Lowndes all over his bumper for most of the race.

Get of the way Todd!!!!

No, I thought it was fine. He still has to get out of the way though. :) :sly:

Ugh, 5 laps in and ready to shut it off already. :yuck:

Yup

@Spacegoat I won't disagree there.

Frosty could get taken if Tander and Todd just work together.

Todd is done...

All 4 Nissan's in the top 10.

Edit: Make that top 11.
 
I'm curious to know who will take Norton's space next year.

Yeah, Tander is definitely quicker. But there aren't enough laps for him to get Frosty. Encouraging car pace from GT though, now if he could only qualify better...

Looks close :nervous:

Whincup did this again to Frosty. He just takes it. Frosty hasn't learned yet. I'm not upset with Whincup winning as much as what is Frosty doing in that car?

It wasn't. Frosty's upped his pace at the end. Percat got in the top ten. 👍

Oh and Whincup secures the title? Yawn.

Super stoked for Scotty winning race 1 👍
 
On to Sydney. And so am I.
 
I've been spoiled this weekend, had to bring my work laptop home to do some work and have been using it to watch the streams. Finally something with no issues! Might just find a way to bring it home for Sydney too. :D

Edit: Gah! Scotty just missed that one. Hopefully he can put some pressure on Whincup during the race.

Finally GT does something in qualifying, hopefully he can transform his second row starting spot into a podium today.
 
It was nice to see the BJR cars pop up near the top of the time sheets there briefly, too bad it didn't quite stay that way. They had a great start to the season, Coulthard was right in the running for the Championship and now they're almost nowhere to be found.
 
Loved that first lap. Good on Scotty for not letting Whincup get the best of him. That's that best way to defeat that #1 car, muscle your way past him.
 
Perkins double stacking and straight up blocking pit lane :rolleyes: That has to be cracked down on, prohibit it at circuits with unsuitable pit lanes (Sandown, PI etc) or something...
 
Think Red Bull are being a little optimistic telling Whincup that the leaders will fall back to him. Can't see Tander and McLaughlin both losing 5.5 seconds over the last 14 or so laps.
 
Bummer, Tander!
 
Noooooo!!!! Not like this! Heartbreaking.

Happy for Scott but crap did it have to end like this?
