[VASC17R1R2] Clipsal 500, Adelaide 2-5 Mar

[peckstar]

All the talk has been around the silly season

Now we are here. New tyres for all

But the cream is till at the top Jamie and sVG 1&2 in P1

Simona beats Alex by a second at the other end end of the field, Taz beats them both

[GTRMagic]

Red flag..

[peckstar]

Not the ideal start.

Not good for the licence either.

wonder how they will go finding a second driver

[simonracer]

I wonder how they will go finding a sponsor. That said, it does look like they are making a serious attempt at running this weekend, Douglas is within two seconds of the leaders and he's done about 35 laps in practice. Also Simona doesn't appear to be all that off the pace either, even if she isn't in the top 20.

[TSR]

Scotty Mac quickest in P2 with R Kelly showing good speed in the Nissan.

[Sandgroper]

a "number" of the nissans look considerably quick.
That's a good sign for the sport TBH

[PS2244]

Have to give credit to Taz Douglas for the task he's been given he's doing far above expectations. Hopefully he can get a last minute sponsor on board

[simonracer]

Douglas's car has actually now got a sponsor on the bonnet as well as the rear wing.

And windscreen banner. Previously was running Holden skgnage - perhaps without permission?

Either way, I think the nearly blank black car was the best looking one out there. Shame it can't stay that way!

Live dude. On Fox.

great session, good use of split screen as well, had pics from 888 pits and DJRTP pits while SVG was in action, really good tv, just needed a bit more work with the timing to provide data

Unfortunately my hotel has only up to 505 so I am stuck with Ten.

Gotta say also that Simona has a big fan in me. She is so down to earth, pragmatic and likeable. She is under no illusions what she is taking it on, and I really hope she gradually finds her way to being competitive. Rick seems to be showing the car is pretty fast this year.

The really nice part about Ms SdS is the enthusiasm to be here, to race here, to not be so mega intense about the driving and being honest about her expectations.

A great brand ambassador for Nissan, for Harvey Norman, for Supercar!
