Damn I need Foxtel. Can't believe it has gotten to the point it can't be seen on free to air.

Can't believe it has gotten to the point it can't be seen on free to air.

They're doing half and half, a la Formula 1. Only the marquee events are being shown live; everything else is being condensed down into a one-hour highlights reel. Today's race isn't being shown until 4:00pm AEST on free-to-air.

Dirty lap by Courtney

 

[NW48]

Whincup lets Lowndes through.

 

[mustafur]

Jaime, Lowndes is faster then you.

 

[magic_town]

Heimgartners been copping it all weekend.

 

[NW48]

Erhmm... say what, Crompo?! That was a bit of a blooper

 

[05XR8]

Davison should have come in with Frosty.

 

[05XR8]

HRT and Percat looking good.

Blanchard needs to go. He still finds a way to clash with someone at the back... All the time.

 

[NW48]

The whole on-board selection thing is quite nice. I would like to see an option to have commentary running with it, though.

Too many interviews....................................

I agree, and also, why can't they have a rolling race standing across the bottom or top like NASCAR does, instead of taking it away and putting it on for short periods of time.

Todd Kelly

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Todd has a tanty, and FOX make the baffling decision to keep the radio line open when the conversation is sweary.

 

[aarror]

Todd is not happy

Seriously though, thats rough with 2 to go.

This is Australian tv. I love it! North America would have pixeled the helmet and about 15 bleeps.

Poor Todd he deserved to finished the race

That wasn't the radio line, that was him just screaming in the car and the on-board camera picking it up. But I agree, even after they apologized for the language they decided to stick with that camera view.

I'm glad that Fox Sports doesn't censor the passion, it's what makes the sport great. The world's just too politically correct.

To those that missed Todd Kellys Rage (Warning Language):

 

[CodeRedR51]

Speaking of Nissan, I wonder where Moffat would have finished had he not goofed the start and lost 6 spots.

In all honesty, I think the Kelly's are biting off more than they can chew with 4 cars. The team needs to scale back to 2 cars and let some other teams give the Nissan a go.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nice run for both HRT cars after a disappointing qualifying. Now only if they would take Murphy's advice and start further up.

 

[05XR8]

Moffat 👍

Reynolds 👍

Davison 👍

 

[TiZzla]

Kelly losing it was the highlight, surprised and amazed that they didn't cut away after he repeatedly dropped the F bomb. I don't think I've ever seen a driver go that nuts....

Good to see 888 on the 2nd row of the grid today and showing genuine car speed, hopefully we see many more PRA vs 888 battles this season. Not sure if I want Lowndes or Winterbottom to win more, I like Lowndes but I would prefer a team other than 888 win the title.

 

[05XR8]

PRA look set to win the TC with three of the 4 PRA cars finishing at the top. But... there are still 2000pts till the last race.

On to the KL City GP in a few days. Well, I've been through the Foxtel schedule up to 9/8/15 and no broadcast of the KL City GP. I hope there is something to help us see it.

 

[NW48]

Moffat Disqualified from the Saturday Sprint Races.

 

[05XR8]

Ah, the gift that keeps on giving...
