Jamie's more than good enough but I hope he doesn't change his routines and risk 'not playing the natural game' and end up down the back with the Wallies.

Imagine if Jamie DNF's the first race and Will wins it?

Best thing for Jamie to do is get pole and run away with it, leave the others to fight over the scraps, as he has done most of the year.

But the L-R-L-R @ 6-7-8-9 are more 'classically' a "Bus-Stop" set of corners

My thoughts too, i looked at the map and thought i missed something in his post or something, as the 4-5 corners don't look anything like a busstop. Guess its the 'coach bay' that refers to busstop

Pro Racer · 30 Nov 2009, 10:24 (Ref:2591650)

yeah it is the coach bay, i guess "bus stop" has a better ring to it then "coach bay".

here is the google view of the "bus stop" to give you a general idea of the area:

they enter in off Edwin Flack ave and exit out around onto Dawn Fraser ave.

Will on the other hand hasn't fought over a position yet this year.

I realise that the track goes 'thru' the 'Coach Bay' however, I still think that 6-7-8-9 are more 'classically' a "Bus-Stop" (a-la F1 'slow the cars down') set of corners !

yes i agree with you just putting what i did up to give those not familiar with the area an idea of what it looks like.

Got to love the comments from the locals as excitement reaches fever pitch

farout Sydney loses out to Melbourne in events they sook then we get the bloody events and they sook. if a car race was just out my front door i'd love it.

Back to the racing....Do you think Lowndes would do a Piquet just to 100% secure the title for his teammate?????

RotorFan · 1 Dec 2009, 01:28 (Ref:2592062)

That's not racing either!

Does he even need to do anything? Its only a few points to seal it....

Racenut7 · 1 Dec 2009, 02:33 (Ref:2592077)

JW has to finish the race to seal the title.

The sadist in me wants him to DNF in the first race and Will to win just to heighten the excitement :P

I think Craig would be more keen to take the win and let his team-mate look after himself - he has needed any help so far

Correction, has to finish 28th, if WD wins....

skells22 · 1 Dec 2009, 07:03 (Ref:2592124)

i wonder how many times the sc might come out

davester · 1 Dec 2009, 12:17 (Ref:2592234)

The biggest rivalry this weekend, seemingly forgotten by all is Tander going for Davison's title runner-up position. With only 128 point difference (compared to Davison's 281 point deficit to Whincup) it's the real battle to watch.

My sources tell me Garth is keen to get back on top.

Live Blog with Jamie Whincup Wednesday 12.15pm

EDIT: Oh, and its piddling down rain again outside!

Brakes an issue @ Homebush

Steve Carter · 2 Dec 2009, 08:23 (Ref:2592688)

Anyone have an update on tickets sold for the event??

D.R.T. · 2 Dec 2009, 22:33 (Ref:2593106)

According to Ticketek, the sales haven't changed much at all over the last 2 - 3 weeks despite the apprarent huge increase in sales since the ABC story. And with only a tiny amount of grandstands to begin with this points to a very large amount of people coming to see Cold Chisel.
