Aren't they looked after by ARG now, and going wherever they can slot in?

A mix of Super2 or SuperUtes and either Carrera Cup/AGT would be a good mix. I like my sportscars but nothing wrong with a bit of variety on the undercard as everyone has different tastes outside of Supercars.

Say what you want, the night experiment looks to be a success, easily more people here than probably the last ten SMP V8s meetings.

Agree but of course not all supports can appear at all events so inevitably some events look stronger than others in that regard.

Are we expecting night time lack of vision carnage trying to find space?

Telling me a marshal couldn't have lent over the pitwall and grabbed that rear wing? Or is it just a different mentality to those kinda things here in the UK, would of been done under double yellows here

I can bet that Van Giz will win it this year.

aye? Giz was forced to set up a clean and hard move there despite being on fresher tyres. McLaughlin held his nerve. to be honest I'm pretty happy it's those two fighting it out for the championship, though Whincup can never be discounted. It's a shame Reynolds is fading.
McLaughlin could do with his team mate being good enough to keep RBR occupied. fabs has had a shocker year given his equipment. mclaughlin will eventually need protection from the likes of lowndes being given the quiet nod to suicide pass. |

Haven’t seen the incident but the general instruction to flag marshals is that they remain within their posts unless instructed otherwise. At SMSP the debris fencing only has relatively small gaps in it.

Did Jamie say he required a bump start?
Does the rule still apply the you must start the car on the grid via the starter motor? |

Lowndes/Whincup/Van Gisbergen/Tander/Courtney etc etc in the current field would not have left the room to let SvG past, and most certainly not let Mw Whincup past also. |

When will we see a Virtual Safety Car introduced?
It was unfortunate that the race was decided by luck of the draw. A VSC would have seen the track cleared safely and the what promised to be a great scrap between Scotty and Craig continue. Once the Safety Car was called any chance for Scott or Craig to win disappeared. |

Does that explain the guy walking back to the big mate pit with a full rear wing assembly under his arm...
