There is a problem with every sponsor on the grid if you want to dig far enough

Why can't we just be grateful the likes of Woodstock and Bottle-O are tipping big $$$ into the sport, instead of making up problems where there just isn't any??

Pixar themselves obviously see no issue with linking up with a team linked with that awful 'substance' called alcohol.....

no one is making any problems, we are just merely sharing an observation. And self managing ourselves.

Free pit entry at SMP for all ticket holders, this is a bargain of a round. all vic rounds cost more, and yet still few attend

the Supercars organisation spent years bashing the place, maybe the fanbase took some notice?

All good just wanted to add the other side as it happened to me. My son was following Reynolds, I'm stoked to help support that. Its not like he asked for a Tander Tshirt

I'd say the wheels they painted up were destined for the bin anyway.

Prepping and painting wheels for one weekend only, and then having to strip them, would be a tad on the expensive side.

Back on topic, looks like it's going to be a good weekend weather wise.

I believe the yellow may be related to curb strikes / track limits. Is it turn 6 that has the wide runoff that drivers were getting in trouble with?

agreed on the colour and its meaning, Thus lap doesnt count for a fast time.

Not aware of where it is at SMP though

There will be one corner where exceeding the track limits it not allowed.

This will allow Schenken and Co to be a part of the action throughout the weekend.

There will be other corners where exceeding the track limits is allowed.
