Going from her results in race one she changed it to the wrong colour as it didn't help her on track performance.

Not having a spare engine is not great, but typical of something a small team can usually do without

I'd have thought one spare between two cars would be a necessity.

Then again, they're not exactly marketed as a two-car team regardless of the common owner and preparation.

Or a 'bring it back alive' deal with engine supplier WP in case of warranty claim..

It may also put Mr Perkins' rest of the year in jeopardy with funds now fired towards repairing the engine rather than running the car

Grid Penalties For De Pasquale & Stanaway

I did wonder why there were 3 on track after the end of the race...

Pit lane snafus?

really no spare engine, that's pretty average isn't it. Surely you would take a spare with you no matter your budget. That's a shame

Those penalties are ridiculous.

Competitive effort this weekend. Shows up Mr Kean in the same car.
It is not normally clever play to show up your paying customers..

Mr Hazelwood had an ordinary weekend for sure. The team was left wondering about inconsistent tyre sets, either way its a points lead damaged..

Full credit to the kid for not letting the red must set in, and chuck the whole weekend away. An assertive drive in race 3 to P2 will make all the difference come Newcastle.

Well driven by Stanaway in Race 4 but take nothing away from Anton the round winner, great driving through all the weekend, well deserved.

Was a lot of variances in times between the field sometimes up to 3' seconds, what do you put that down too? Lack of set up? Most I have seen between the field over the last few rounds.

A bit of everything.

Only have to watch the live timing to see lap time variations of up to 2 seconds on consecutive laps to see that some pilots are lacking in race craft.

They don't do enough miles in the Super2 series IMHO! No wonder drivers like Mr. Waters need at least another half season of Supercars series before they can get up to speed despite running many seasons of Super2.

If only they could create a cheaper-to-run vehicle for the Super2 series. Something with a crate Coyote or LS engine, a cheaper transmission too, but running the fundamental spool differential that the drivers need to learn.

Ideally upcoming drivers should run both Super2 and Kumho series to maximise mileage (for example Smith with the BJR dual program), but the budgets of running full-spec V8 Supercars in both series is surely prohibitive to most. [At that point you may as well purchase the full season LDM drive, as Mr Chahada attempted to do only for CAMS to say no dice. :/ ]

Some of the field have been in it for a few years plus so would have the miles under their belt although I don't think they have been to SMP before so this could have played into it.

And as for miles Both Stanaway and De Pasquale have not have had a huge amount of time in the car but are both drivers that have spent time in Europe driving and SMP is has a slight European feel, maybe this was a factor.

Both these rookies (and I will call them rookies due to it only being their 2nd year) did an exceptional job and didn't put a foot wrong all weekend, had speed and were consistent.

My understanding is that there are some personal matters underlining her reasons for sitting out.

One only hopes that things are ok in Ms Gracie's world.

Potentially, it would pay off for him to do so, good mileage for Cam
