I think you will have trouble extracting Mr Seton out of the BMW's drivers seat, he loves it.

Did you mean, you did a 100 laps in a wet dream last night or you did a 100 laps and wet in your dream?

Looking out the window here in Sydney this morning it appears a certain M3 driver has been doing a hell of a lot of dancing of late.

2 years old, but if you listen to most other drivers they'll all say theirs are older

Great day out there today - roll on tomorrow. Access to pits and cars is amazing - V8SC could learn from that!

Speaking of which, what do we make of 2 ex team owners spending time in deep conversation with a current, out of favour, factory driver?

Just sports fans enjoying the day, or....

More damage this year than I've seen for a while, I got 3 hits in quick succession in turns 2 and 3 in the last race. The yellow VL, the Walkie VL, the Starion, the VK some small damage to mine (superficial minor scatches that's all) that I know of.

A few more from today











The Yellow VL collected the back of the Masterton VK after it on the exit of T3 and ended up sitting across the track. Minor cosmetic damage to the VK. That caused the red flag in session 1 yesterday.
Didn't get crowd numbers, but the parking was very full, grandstand about 3/4 full all day long, lots of people camped at various spots around the track too (more than last year).

I'm surprised they'd keep racing with that Camaro parked where it is, especially considering the Saloon Car accident there barely two months back.

Great shot of the colision between Mogg and me at T2 on Sunday. He says I turned into him, I say he drove me onto the grass and turned into me! This was the first of 3 touches in T2 and T3. One of the touches was in the rear of my car. Now unless I've found a way of reversing whilst going forwards at about 100 kmh, I'll be buggered if I can see how I hit him?

Yeh, I can see how that works.
You turned into him whilst you were turning left with him on the outside.
I know you Dave and if ti were possible you would marry your racecar so there is no way you would damage it on purpose.
