Live timing is not working on either Natsoft or v8supercar web site

Nice to see Percat up the front

The live timing app from V8SC has been working ok. The Natsoft website seems to bring up a series of database errors. Presumably the owners are working on it...

Did a good job to qualify 2nd in the second race of the day. The team had problems in the pitstop, or otherwise Mr Percar would likely have been further up.

The crew on the SCAR car must be pulling their hair out.. Mr Slade with 2x DNFs in 2 races for steering issues. Not really good enough from any of them, and it hardly gets any teev. At least when Mr Ingall was wobbling round the back, the #7 crowd used to look for him to get him some serious airtime

Congratulations to Mr Whincup & to Mr Tander, race winners in the main game today!

What a joke the stewards are atm.

Giving Kelly a penalty for the stuff with perkins, when perkins drove him all the way to the fence. Either Larko explained the rules wrong, or once again, the stewards hate consitantcy.

Mr Kelly often finds himself in incidents with other cars that may or may not be of his own making, and quite regularly isnt brought to account for them. In some ways this is kinda like a catch up perhaps by the stewards, blaming the incident on the simple statement that the driver could have lifted off...

Mr Perkins seems to have cut his nose off.. unless TEGAvision has a better viewpoint, the external shots seemed to show that quite clearly...

Onwards & upwards... Jack Daniel's 300th race as a sponsor... The black Nissans have gotten some new stickerage overnight...

Larko explained that the rules states, if there is an overlap, you cannot move over. Perkins did it twice. The first time Kelly let him get away with it and moved over, he wasn't putting up with it a second time.

Begining to think this is the last round for me. Might download and watch the races later, but not taking the time to watch live anymore. Prefer a series that isn't ajudicated this way (a free for all, depending who your mates are)

Well when you have friends in the commentary box of course you're gonna get some airtime wherever you are in the field. Of course when you see how much airtime the SCAR car has been getting this year you'd be thinking why didn't we leave Ingall in for one more year....

Race 1 more touching and rubbing than an autograph session with Rolf Harris.

That's GOLD!!!! Hope you don't mind but Im going to pinch that to use as an expression at work....

Gaz170 · 6 Jul 2014, 06:23 (Ref:3430791)

How come Lowndes doesn't get a drive through but Whincup did for less earlier in the year?

Umai Naa · 6 Jul 2014, 06:32 (Ref:3430793)

It's under investigation.

Eh, I'm neither here nor there with it.

On one hand, he was facilitating the safe release of the car, but on the other, he became one too many pairs of hands in the pitstop, even if he didn't touch the actual car.

And now we have #7 shoving evidence into V8SC's Damian White's face. Not sure which barrow they're pushing here, if they should be pushing barrows at all.

Very hard to make a call from the footage shown on the curving track, no doubt onboarda and steering traces would clarify.

Hard to see a sudden breakaway with gradual squeezing contact from Perkins without return input from Kelly.

Umai Naa · 6 Jul 2014, 07:28 (Ref:3430805)

It's what happens when cars want to lean on eachother all the time.

Perkins found out today how it feels (he was in Kellys position) and the result was both cars in the wall today. Go Perkins

Congratulations to Mr Whincup & 888.. Who 'd have thought #1 would be their front line weapon against the FPR series leader?

FPR dodged lots of action today, and even managed 6 th with a slow car .. Nice!

And jow much better is the teev show with the wrap up on 7Mate at 6pm! Hope they keep it up

**GTRMagic** · 6 Jul 2014, 09:26 (Ref:3430825)

Jeez the #18 took a major hit in today's carambolage... a pity #7 didnt see it, and didnt ask about it afterwards..

That's fairly rooted!

Composite Panels... Won't it 'buff-out'

Maybe not the broken front uprights, steering arm and the other expensive bits, or the rear watts linkage, some wheels and more stuff like that..

Mr Schwerkolt must surely be considering a change right about now?
