it'll take a few weeks for the lawyers to decide who won todays race  ???
r

Yes.....a bit of a shambles...and more than a bit confusing.

My thoughts as a blue team supporter - mostly DJR but will start with the factory team.
Furious with winterbottom.....again !!
Why would you choose to start on slicks when nearly everybody else was on wets ?
That gamble on the weather DID NOT pay off  >:D
Were they looking at a different radar to everyone else !!
Round 1 2016....shot themselves in the foot again  >:D

DJR.....fastish cars....but miscalculated fuel regulations.....hmmm ???
Some pit stop practice also for them I think after this weekend :(

Cheers
Rob

Rules are rules.
 They can't be changed on the run, although it made it very confusing, some teams got it right and some didn't.  Those that didn't, lost!

I have no problem with the results, only that JC put it in the wall..great to see 3 nissans in the top 10 and Caruso is now champ leader. Well done.

Yes...agree...can't argue with that.

Frustrating....most of the teams have been around for ages and should know the rules...you would think  >:D

A good mate has told me, the Queensland Raceway venue has a new sponsor for their round this year.

Libra Fleur are gunna cough up some dollars.

It'll be called the Tampon 200.

I'll see if I can pull a few strings and get some free tickets.

Are we sure Tampons at the Paper Clip make for a good combination?

The racing this weekend was one of the best bits of motor cars sport that I have seen in a long time.

Although the Tassie track is not renown for great passing , this weekend saw many cars and teams pushing and passing , making moves ( some ending in tears ) and first class driving.

Not just during the race, but in practise and qualifying as well.

One of the few benefits that I get out of Foxtell boys.....the adult kids normally have it to themselves.

Gotta tell you though....it is very very nice watching the racing live ( or almost live ) and in full HD.
There is also a show on Tuesday nights on fox sports called V8 Supercars with Skaife, Ingall, Crompton and various guests.
This show is much better than RPM in my opinion .....but I record it and watch it the next day after work normally.
Racing this weekend was pretty good with the soft tyre being used all weekend and so far this year there have been six different winners I think.
Now if only the ford boys would start getting their act together it would make my day  >:D

I will admit that I was the same, but I have just installed Foxtel via Telecom .

3 months free full Foxtel package, no install fee, and no contract after the 3 months. I can drop down to a $25 package at the end of the trial period.

The category has been irrelevant for a few years now.
Nothing more than silhouettes, but the majority of the public wouldn't know, or care.

I still watch, but don't follow. It's an excuse for a beer with mates.

It was few rounds ago.

I did a Hot Lap in the GB Gal Nissan Altima at Calder Park the Tuesday after Winton with Dale Wood.

Great fun!
