Anyone else noticed how good young M Jones has been running? Quicker than Timmy.

I didn't see the timing but looked like she was well wide and braked way too late, as quite a few have done today, she had so much speed on she was still braking in the sand trap, which is why she didn't get out. |

[QUOTE=Mixer;3678061]The way young M Jones has been running I think Bright should retire and put Macaulay in the car.
It's just a shame the 21 is a pay seat, it'd be nice if they were able to have it fully funded and have 3 competitive cars. |

Shame they couldn't get the red pinstripe and the blue sections to line up straight.

Yeah, that Nissan looks incredible.
Should be the full time scheme, imo. |

It's cold here again.. perfect for turbo engines, and/or ones with clever fuel/air mapping... why did they move away from the 10am shootouts?

Very interesting that while only Saturday morning, Natsoft has already had 44,000 views for the Bathurst weekend.

The problem was they interrupted the broadcast for a news update told us that Gardner had got pole, even though shootout broadcast was only half way through. Talk about the left hand not telling the right hand what they were doing.... I think reason for 10am shootout was to allow time for repairs before Sunday race. Today the shootout starts at 5:10pm, but now they have a cast of thousands to repair them. |

As only 10 cars are in the shootout, the rest would spent all Saturday at the track for a late practice session then very late or all night putting in race engines etc. Back then the teams were in pit bunkers with sheds, tents etc out the back so it would take a while to get all the gear back to the tent to even start work. By running the P session earlier, the majority of teams could get the work done, get a little sleep and be back at the track at 5:00 AM ready for the race morning warm up. Moving the shootout to the afternoon was a by-product but of course network 10 loved the idea and it WAS good for ratings - can't see it reverting personally. These days, with garages on pit lane, later start on Sunday and larger head counts for the teams, the timing of the session would probably be less of an issue but that is why the change was made at the time. |

Looked like it was really only Prodrive playing for times in the warmup..

Impending rain in the shootout probably negates any need to go all-out in that session.

Love the extra codriver session's and larger tyre bank. Yesterday's codriver session was a cracker with some of the times being pumped out on greens. Years ago it was rare for the codriver to get greens. Sent from my GT-I9507 using Tapatalk |

Amateur hour at HNSG:
http://www.speedcafe.com/2016/10/08/...ded-5000-fine/ Borrowed an Audi-liveried truck from MPC. Forgot to ask to be excused from the transporter parade for said livery. |

What kind of moron of a team manager doesn't at least ask for formal permission instead of just assuming it'll be okay? Bizarre.

Wow, Steve Owen's moment at the top, very nearly an expensive repair job!
Also feeling for Simona and Renee, with Russell Ingall's comments about the straight line speed deficit of the Nissan, could be a long day when those girls don't have the experience to drive so hard at the top as Caruso is doing. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |
