The word "Farce" has been brought up in commentary. Spot on.

Only needs 2 more laps for a points finish...
Go start up the Porsche... Meantime, when is Dunlop going to recommend/demand/supply a soft monsoon wet ? |

The red flag gods were definitely smiling on Roland's boys today. Car #1 out with no points, car #888 looking down the barrel of multiple drive thru's and #97 likely to have a bigger points deficit to #17 by race end.
With 2 of the biggest teams handing recs in. Would V8SC have a minimum standards for a rec owner, when they're prepared to run and fund 2 cars? The same mob talked up Gore.... Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

Best part of the entire telecast was the "Helmet Cam" for the mechanic during the red flag period that included him looking into a tool bag and ask ing "Where the @#@uck is every F*&(&ing thing".... Best TV in ages

Does this mean Anton De Pasquale is now a race winner?
Or is it Heimgartner and Russell, being the first to have had both drivers in the car? If no, how is today any different to Symmons Plains last year? |

Race was canned. No points, no winner.

As SvG said afterwards, they ( Cams / stewards etc ) knew what the weather forecast was, so why didn't they start the race earlier so they'd have at least some chance of completing it?? Schedule the ECB ****-utes after the main race, no one would care if that got rained out. But no they are far too rigid and tunnel-vision, and they ended up screwing themselves, and the punters who paid $$$ to get there / get in the gate / accommodation / etc. But don't worry because when they release the "official" spectator numbers, it'll be another new record attendance. CAMS and the Stewards are the ones who should be charged with bringing the sport into disrepute..................

Apparently SVG was also going crook about people not getting out of his way - what a tool - race you idiot, that is what you are meant to do - what sort of race would it be if everyone got out of your way

But what was the gap between the finish of the last support race and the start of the Supercar race? NASCAR have brought forward start times on a number of occasions to avoid inclement weather. |

Also, the organisers need to make the whole show the most attractive they can, because if no one watches onTV or turns up at the venue, no one will sponsor anything to do with it because they'll get no value, and the whole show folds. So if once in a blue moon you have to adjust the program order to account for some abnormality, and the least popular class has to take one for the show, then so be it. If the ute guys don't like that, there are plenty of other support classes they are free to put their money into. The whole thing was a total cock-show which was completely avoidable with a bit of fore-thought and lateral thinking. |

It's the luck of the draw with the weather.
It just didn't work in favour of the maingame yesterday. All yesterday proved was that Supercars doesn't have proper fall-back options in place still. Yeah, they totally should have cut back all the fanfare and shuffled the schedule to bring the racing forward. But no, I don't agree that they should chop races altogether out. Shorten them perhaps, but not simply dump them. |

You forgot to mention SVG getting away with blocking 17 in qualifying.

Pretty sure they moved the Indy race at one time to an earlier slot after the 2002 debacle.

All of this talk about moving the race is 20/20 hindsight.
