I am guessing Craig and SRichards have bolted on the pinks - 1.22.7440 compared with 1.25.247 of GT

Red flag in Practice B - Fiore & Ingall still on the track

edit - just Fiore still not in pits

Pro Racer · 1 May 2009, 03:59 (Ref:2453347)

2.5 is a whooper of a gain over each lap. IMO Saturday race start with them bolt on a short stint.

They could run Owen in the car during the "co-driver" session for evaluation.

If Owen is more than 0.5 faster on the worse track conditions in the early session, certainly they should consider Slade swapping down to the Fujitsu series for a few races in a similar Supercheap livered VE whilst Owen steers the main game ship temporarily... Slade keep learning the cars, get confidence back by winning races with huge margin, and then jump back into the same/very similar car entered into the main game class and stick it in the top 5.

I wonder why Mr Slade and Mr Fiore didnt run in Part C?

Team BOC would have to be concerned at their speed at their test track

Combined P2 & P3 Here

Pro Racer · 1 May 2009, 08:08 (Ref:2453426)

surprised they never cover the Holden logo over.

Baird P3 quicker than Tander and Davison until new tyres. Another driver that should have full time ride in a good car.

Can some one tell me why Caruso can give Fabian a tap, takes the place because of the tap, not give the place back and not get a penality?

racer69 · 2 May 2009, 06:25 (Ref:2453970)

Weren't the new rules meant to rid us of this "lap 1 pitstop" rubbish?

Cars on yellow tyres just barging the others out of the way, not what i call good motor racing... but apparently to the masses it is

Wood-duck · 2 May 2009, 06:42 (Ref:2453975)

Did anyone notice the Marshall car running around sans logos ? rumours are abound that his sponsor was in financial trouble, so maybe the cash hasnt fronted and the stickers have come off?

GTR - what is your intel ?

Marcos WTF · 2 May 2009, 07:26 (Ref:2453985)

YET ANOTHER frosty hero to zero farce.

Just how many poles can this ******** throw away?

peckstar · 2 May 2009, 07:27 (Ref:2453986)

wood duck. its previous intel. access clash have closed the doors (i dont think they ever opened), happened prior to hamilton

New rules still allow lap 1 pit stops - it is the team's choice so always was a chance of this happening at any race. What the new rules did remove is pit stop windows so teams can actually stop whenever they decide is best for them (be that first lap, last lap or any lap in between).

Barging others out of the way not great I agree but then this is Winton and a large amount of that type of action has been pretty common.

There were also a lot of clean, well executed passes (OK, maybe with a bit of rubbing) with the different rubber so for those who consider "racing" to be the same thing as "passing" then I guess it would have looked great.

Pro Racer · 2 May 2009, 07:38 (Ref:2453994)

good run from Rick, McConky & Van Giz, Caruso was going great guns shame his tyres faded, bugger the SC. good fight back from William Davo.

Winterbum blew it IMO. i would love to see outside footage of the incident with GT. GT the poor **** copped it left right and centre.

Big differences in laptimes!

kiwi20 · 2 May 2009, 07:49 (Ref:2453998)

Going by lap times these guys would not of used the Option tyre (otherwise they were damn slow (3 sec)

Steven Johnson
Paul Dumbrell
Marcus Marshall
Tim Slade
Jack Perkins
David Reynolds
Greg Murphy

Now I may not be the smartest race analyst in the shed but can someone please explain to me how Jamie pits lap 1, has soft tyres on and clean air at the "back" of the field, yet gets hosed by Caruso who stays in the traffic and pits 10 laps later,and ends up in front by a decent margin???

kiwi20 · 2 May 2009, 08:34 (Ref:2454020)

Caruso was hardly in traffic though was he. Like 1 or 2 laps. Then all by himself at the front.

In the meantime Whincup was in traffic as he still had to pass guys who had not pitted. He would of caught some very fast on the soft tyre.

Not that hard really is it

I think Whincup lapped slower and preserved his tyres more than Caruso.

Tander blasts V8 "Idiots"

V8 Fireworks · 2 May 2009, 11:53 (Ref:2454101)

The option tyre seems to give the same effect as the reverse grid.

BUT the others will have the advantage in the second race, so it is fair.

It is a puzzle that 2/3rds used the option, since there are so many it has handed the second race to those who have them saved.

Those who used them and still finished in the midpack or down the pack, have managed to not get any advantage from 'em.
