I like how seriously they take the retro round, both years we have gone back to a 400km race
Jamies car finding another way to throw away a win/ What will be the reason at bathurst I guess jamie has the one car where you let co driver run a longer stint and get back close to the front Last edited by peckstar; 17 Sep 2017 at 05:29. |

cant help but think that there has been a rule upgrade on how long drivers can spend behind the rule since last year.
Will be interesting to see what happens there |

Had a look and it hasn't changed in years. I can't help feeling that BJR have made an error but easy to do with such a shortened time-certain race.

We all know that you have some kind of issue with Dunlop and love to sink the boot in whenever you can but neither you nor anyone else knows that any tyres have "blown up" or "failed" in this race. There is a lot of kerb action at Sandown so these may well be punctures, or the team may have gone a bit aggressive on setup (as admitted by Mr Dutton).
Best to wait for further information before throwing rocks at the tyre supplier. |

We'll find out at some stage I guess. The Jones brothers have built up something of a myth around their supposed superior knowledge of the rules but they're fallible same as any of us - they've got it wrong before and will do so again, just as they've got it right as well. I guess we'll know once the results for this one are final.

I have no issue with anyone... There were tyre failures today that should be investigated. The #3, the #9, the #88 and the #97 all had failures We never do hear the results of the forensic checks.. |

When there's no one banging on the door to replace the existing supplier, why would there be any motivation to improve the product?

As far as we know, there were no failures today at all, there were however tyres that MAY have punctured or MAY have been overloaded by those teams or which MAY have had some kind of failure. We'll only know once they are fully checked out but certainly one team was blaming itself. Wrong to say that we never hear the results of forensic checks - we actually often do but I'll agree that we don't always hear the results. First time using the super softs at Sandown and by & large they seemed to work OK. |

MEGA burnout by Waters. Loved the onboard shot where you could only see his hands and the steering wheel because of all the smoke.
Good on em. Well deserved. |

Great result for those young blokes today - really fantastic to see someone who's been knocking on the door have a strong weekend. Great way to get the result, no fluke at all, quick on Saturday, quick on Sunday.
Pleased for the PRA crew too - their best 2 driving teams on the podium. Bathurst really is looking like a very even contest. |
