Slade only short filled though. Expect him to drop a couple of spots after the next pit stop. Actually surprised that he wasn't penalized for that lose tyre in pit lane.
Five pit lane speeding penalties, at that point you really have to beg the question about the pit lane laser guns being accurate...
The commentators mentioned the first timing beam is after the sign as normally. The second timing beam is after the right hand corner. The problem with this is that with corners, the distance between the timing beams varies. If a driver drives a shorter line than the claimed distance (eg cutting the corner, or not driving in the geometric centre of the pitlane) they can traverse the pitlane entrance faster than race control deems as legal, even though they could be under the speed limit.
I don't know how V8 Supercars measure the distance between the two timing beams. But I can easily see that causing the large number of penalties today.
Congrats to Frosty awesome drive. Real happy to see two Walkinshaw cars on the podium. 👍
You got your wish 👍 good strategy.

- This always should have been an invitational for the DVS. top 10 drivers get offered to race in the main game. It gives more seat time and they get to ask outside drivers that dont get a seat in the main game, that definitely want to race at Bathurst.
Anyone know where I can find video of say, the last ~5 minutes of Race 8? Either nobody is posting anything from that race on YouTube or V8SC are taking them down.
Yeah saw that too. Oh well, when I get my V8 Live subscription soon I can go back and watch all of the races I missed.I couldnt find any race clips. Only highlights. The only private clip is post race with Holdsworth.
