Race 2 is looking like a great set up for TC Sydney race more and more as the laps go by.

peckstar · 22 Nov 2009, 05:24 (Ref:2586810)

its good for the series to have the kelly's back in the game, and frosty is now a force again.

looking forward to seeing how this race plays out

i hope there is no safety car

peckstar · 22 Nov 2009, 05:29 (Ref:2586811)

my fault, sorry people, sorry will

I would doubt Will can win (nor Jamie) today as they have used the best of there Sprint tyres.

Garth on the other hand should start favorite today

Thanks to Mr Holdsworth, Homebush is now a dead rubber....

TSR · 22 Nov 2009, 05:33 (Ref:2586813)

Was a good hit.

**GTRMagic** · 22 Nov 2009, 05:33 (Ref:2586814)

Another blown engine at PCR, this time in the #333, sounds even more expensive

Didnt get any teev time either, until it was sitting dead in the pitlane

Sounds normal, hence no Ausdrill no more

peckstar · 22 Nov 2009, 05:35 (Ref:2586816)

i dont think it will be dead

jamie has to finish top 2 or 3 in this race to lock it in, dont think he can with all the sprint tyres out there

1200Datto27 · 22 Nov 2009, 05:38 (Ref:2586817)

Technically Will could still win the championship, if Jamie DNF's both races in Sydney and will wins them, if the positions stay as they are today.

Jamie just needs to finish and he has made it though, wonder if he will be in a ford or holden

R2

Those soft tyres went off badly at the end... I thought #25, #3, #14 were looking racy and may have moved up... while they, along with #39, actually fell back...

It is Ausdrill's home track... and no sign of branding on the car at all... weird!

peckstar · 22 Nov 2009, 06:16 (Ref:2586838)

so does that mean the tyres worked how they were meant to, or did 888 find a weakness in there purpose

peckstar · 22 Nov 2009, 06:27 (Ref:2586840)

forgot to add

Gee that Jamie Whincup is a choker.

Could be wrong but he 's not the one struggling with the pressure

peckstar · 22 Nov 2009, 06:30 (Ref:2586843)

also based on my quick count triple 8 now lead the teams championship by 1 point

888 discovered that a short heat cycle in them 'cured' the rubber case to the extent that they can last longer...

**GTRMagic** · 22 Nov 2009, 06:31 (Ref:2586845)

281 points gap between 1st and 2nd

28th or better in 1 race for Mr Whincup in Sydney seals the title!

Radiator water piddled on the inside of the pit entry, all that lovely Zerex product, from the #33 car.... helped #22 hit the tractor tyre inside the pitlane

Pro Racer · 22 Nov 2009, 06:34 (Ref:2586850)

really thanks to Mr Bargwanna!

Bargwanna turned Todd Lee had nowhere to go.

seriously if Bargwanna dosn't get a penalty it's shocking.

although the issue has been fixed if i understand next years rule changes, you can only use them in one race.

but the tyres did work how they were meant to today. they started well and then faded after time

im tipping there was a fluid flag at thee preceding flag point, maybe the driver just was trying to hard because of the championship presurre

how would the team know, they were not on the track.

ever heard jamie blame his team for that sort of error,
struggling with the pressure
