Bit of a wild quali session.

Mr Mostert wasn't mucking about, either. I wonder how he'll do in the race.

I'm not so sure things are so equal for Blanchard....

The new deal sees Mostert and his FPR-employed engineer Adam De Borre complete post-session debriefs with FPR’s four drivers and crack engineering staff.


Seems he isn't getting the same love from the FPR garage as Mostert.

I reckon David Reynolds should be starting to worry if his lack of form continues while Mostert shines.

DJR can't deal with bent steering in a 15 minute period? Really? Run out of cash for spanners, nuts and steering arms?

Trouble with spatial awareness, of how wide his car is?

Interesting to see in the recap reel that Mr Mostert went off near the end.. Arguably the longest V8Supercar race he had done thus far, looked like the #12 ran out of brakes...

Mostert should learn pretty quick. Did good in 2nd half with bent steering arm.
Scott Pye, unbelievably lucky.

Probably ran out of tyres pushing the car, looked like it at the track.

I know they have introduced a 'lucky dog' and so on for anyone at lap behind at the end of the first 'segment' of the Saturday race today...

...but does anyone else find it ridiculous that drivers like Will Davison who only run 49 laps in today's combined 'race' can be classified ahead of drivers who completed the full 50 lap distance?

If Tim Blanchard hard lost a lap at Symmons due to a puncture, would the rule have even been changed?

is the problem a recording issue. In Nascar they let the driver drive around to gain the lap back. but this has not happened here. wondering if they just need to add a lap to the drivers time at the end of section 1

I thought Will did an extra lap after the first segment. I seem to recall one of the commentators mentioning it as he pulled into the puts some time after everyone else.

just checked natsoft as a result of your post and he is shown as having completed 50 laps. speedcafe article also has him at 50 laps.

six set of softs for the weekend. so the requirement to use some pre used qualifying tyres would come into play

My point wasn't about whether he did an extra lap after the first segment had finished or not.

My point is that the whole two segments are treated as the one race.... under race conditions Will Davison as an example only did 49 laps, while others classified behind him at the end did the full 50 laps...

But he did, he was waved around for an extra lap at mid race distance
