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

The way young M Jones has been running I think Bright should retire and put Macaulay in the car.

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.

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.

I actually wondered if something had failed in the front end.. the lhs front wheel flopped funny when it was was locked, like a damper or upright broke or something..

Yeah, that Nissan looks incredible.

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.

I used to love the 10am shoot out and THEN the 60 min free kick practice in the arvo. Then they swapped it.

Ratings, ratings, ratings.

I can remember one year with 10am shootout and they broadcast it late afternoon pretending it was live.

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.

Terry S is on the money - the change was made to manage fatigue with the teams.

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.

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

I wondered why no one else had a crack. Thought maybe comfortable with setup, impending rain or only one set of greens left?

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.

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.

Should've rolled up in the Audi liveried rig anyway and showed the crowd what a real supercar looks like :P

I jest people-put the pitchforks down.

I've finished my Saturday morning shift and from now on its all about Bathurst til Sunday night. This race never ceases to enthrall me. Can't wait.
