sorry?

you having a laugh? track got more oil on it every hour over the weekend, never seen so many flaggs and oil spills, Group N might just as well be called the Exxon Valdez class...
No, not having a laugh as the track would have been cleared of dust and rubbered up over the weekend although I didn't know about the oil. Standard thing at Bathurst, the track speed comes to you as it de-dusts and rubbers up.

Funnily enough according to Alfacors' photo above, the ARCs laid oil just before the race in which the F3s set the new record time so they clearly were able to cope with the oil as the race progressed.
