I came here to post exactly that. Mr Boost may have money but can't spot talent. It's a surprise that Garry and Barry agreed to the deal. Money talks I guess.

I don't think 0.023 of a second faster than the novice is anything to be proud of.
I think you would have found in the wet that Stanaway would have been as quick as Caruso. And in the dry, he would have been as quick as Caruso.

IM not cheering for him whatsoever.
As I suggested first session they all handbraked. I think GTR was cheering him on moreso

Second session went from 6th to about 22nd or so.

Can someone explain the Waters' penalty?

Kelly was attempting to drive around the outside and turned across the front of Waters.

The house of 8’s were up on strategy but there is a car speed deficiency.

And judging by the wobbling around, is there something fundamentally wrong with #33?

Waters locked up and hit him on the rear quarter panel and he went up to Kelly after the race and admitted fault

Just proves what I have always said, you do not have to be a great driver to do well in Supercars, you just need a good, well set up , car.

Suggests that Super 2 is a tougher competition that TCR or alternatively it could suggest that unless your car is well set up in TCR, you're gong to be nowhere.

Pointless argument really (sorry guys) - I mean, when a driver who is well past his best is able to win the first TCR race, it suggests that (so far at least) TCR performance is not a good indicator of anything. Once the series settles down a bit, teams and drivers work out how to get the best out of the cars etc, then at that stage it should provide a better indicator of form / talent etc.

I'm not sure Super 2 is much of a form guide this year either.
