Unbelievable. Fancy doing that!!

A good sign that the racing is different every weekend, for the punter they get to go to a race meeting & not know who will win

Amazing!

At this rate Aaren Russel should pick up his first race win some time after the Gold Coast event!

Good to see a lot of different winners.

And Mr Skaife suggested in the cutdown broadcast that Erebus is the only team yet to grace a podium.

Agreed. Tim's a great bloke. Deserved far better results than what's on paper for the last few seasons.

Many had thought he'd peaked in 2012, being the top-placed non-FPR/Triple Eight driver. The year with the contankerous Erebus and their Mercs didn't help, neither did a couple of seasons as a third/fourth-string Walkinshaw driver. Many have gone on to succeed after doing time in the Paul Morris School of Hard Knocks, and Tim's no exception.

He was interviewed on SEN on Sunday morning and he sounded that rather than having a burden removed by winning, by winning he actually created a burden to back it up with more wins.

Hopefully the Sunday result showed himself what he can do.

I'm assuming that SuperBlack is classed as a part of the PRA team... and that Team 18 was forgotten?

Technically, they've probably seen it. Just from a greater distance than the others

Impressive, though, and it does seem genuine competitiveness rather than any manufactured scenarios. Have the top few who've dominated the last few years lost a bit, or have the others caught up. Either way, it's very welcome.

I would think that is a fair reflection of where the drivers and team sit in overall terms of performance.

If any on the list of non podiums actual get to stand on the podium it would be a surprise.

would you have said the same about Tim salde before Winton.

Rick Kelly Two 4ths, cam waters one 4th have got to be considered podium chances going forwards

Tim Slade - certainly a surprise. A good surprise though.

An impressive stat, although it is starting to look a little rigged to be honest.

I haven't watched the races yet but have Nissan really made some huge inroads with their power? Isn't Darwin second longest straight on the calendar?

Championship will be a very interesting one, as no one has really stepped up and made a claim yet, unlike most years by this point.

SVG would be clear in the lead were it not for Symmons Plains R2, the penalty at Winton and the error in Hidden Valley R1 (but of course, that's racing!).

Could we end up with a 2006-ish championship scenario, with many drivers in the mix, but no clear favourite.

And as much as I'm loving the variety, I thought that the first half of the 2012 season was the best championship fight since....well, a very long time!

So you're saying that a different competition 21 years ago was allegedly rigged so therefore this year's VASC is too? I don't follow your logic - not having a go but what are you basing your theory on?
