Win #106 for Mr Whincup.
This newfound race pace will serve him well over the next few events, provided he and Mr Dumbrell don't make a cockup or 3. |

Lowndes had a broken Rocker arm like SVG in Townsville, they repaired it and he said in a post race interview he managed to gather 30 something points for their efforts.

I suspect there must've been a fight to start on another forum...

As usual Teflon watches from the couch whilst the rest of us make the effort to actually go trackside. Saw a couple of Tenthers out and about yesterday at The Creek and in some places one would not expect them to be given their viewpoints on here. |

Just started watching the "highlights" myself, as I already know the outcome and am sick of the nauseating commentary by Skaifey and Cromley (Red Bull, Red Bull,Red Bull, Whincup, Whincup Whincup, SVG,SVG, SVG)
Turning off right now, what's the point, a few disjointed clips, tons of ads and screetching commentators. Boring and annoying. |

I watched some old races not long ago from the early to mid '00s.
It was all Skaife this, HRT that, and "look at Ambrose go!". It's the result of success. Mr Slade got the bulk of the airtime at Winton last year... |

Nice to see the boys slowing down under saftey car, not trying to gain time on those pitting...
Also, why isn't the saftey car restart the same as FIA standards? |

On lap 16 we went to a commercial break, after the commercial break we were on lap 30!
No info on anyone outside the top 10. |

apart from scores flicking along the bottom that was at least the last 14 laps. The battle for the lead was so intense there was no time for anything else

Agreed. All that Safety car line and no overtaking under green nonsense. Treat it the same as a rolling start. Get the SC off, leader takes over the role of SC, as they approach the start line wave a green flag and everyone goes racing.
