There's standing water on the insides of the corners now. Seriously some of the worst conditions I can recall in my 15 years of watching the category.
Bathurst 2013 was the last time there was 29 cars, in a single-driver round the last time was Homebush 2010. |

dont have the coverage at work, but the times are much quicker in this session and the rain seeems to have cleared.
Suspect the track will dry and slicks may be out soon |

Should get Adrian Burgess out to check the grass, he had gardening leave from Roland, and is now pushing mowers at home,
so why not Winton , |

There seems to be an absurd amount of cars sneaking extra laps in after a session has ended this year.

Doesn't make much sense for them to do it intentionally I wouldn't have thought and it's something easy caught on timing, so I would be surprised if fines/penalties aren't issued for it (apart from the red flag example above). Drivers would clearly see the red lights + the flag as well at the sessions end so i don't think it's them being unaware.

Penske look to be running a lot of preload on the front springs given how little the nose lifted compared to everyone around them at the start. Usually an aero decision which helps exit understeer. Ludo at work?

James Golding, first of the wild cards home in a very honourable 17th. Great job by him and GRM.

I'm a little surprised there wasn't an unsafe release issue for Coulthard given Bright had to slam on the brakes to avoid him.

It looked to me as though Mr Courtney had used up most of the goodness in his tyres trying to get to Mr Percat. He didn't appear to be quick enough to make any sort of move stick.
In hindsight, P11 wouldn't have been a bad result in the scheme of things. |

James Golding
According to my reading of the Natsoft results for race 9 Golding set the 4th fastest lap in the race. A pretty good effort in my view |

Is that his first competitive drive in 2017? Stellar effort, and bravo to GRM for giving him a car that other fulltime teams would probably swap for.

Simple solution; do a better job over the whole season.

Pole by almost 4 tenths around this circuit is utterly ridiculous.
