Its Tassie time...!

How will the drivers cope away from Sydney Motorsport Park?

I believe the government have imposed crowd limit of 5,000 people a day.

Supercars will no doubt announce a record crowd nonetheless.

Dont know how good my maths is, but this could be the 50th ATCC/Supercars round held at the circuit. Fun little circuit, its good that the cars havent outgrown the track - yet...

Mentioned somewhere in a media release, this year will be the 49th running of the ATCC/Supercars event.

Symmons Plains the only place where you can get hypothermia in the morning, sunburn by mid afternoon and sopping wet walking out to your car!

Ever been to Phillip Island?

[Kingair]

Sure have, standing in the Castrol corporate tent in the mid 90's ankle deep in water, thunder, lightening and gale force winds.

Me too, running a superkart and it was chucking it down all weekend.

The support card doesn't seem to offer much value to the paying public.
Supercars will be supported by the Tassie Tin Tops, Aussie Racing Cars and Haltech V8 SuperUtes Series.

[Kingair]

Barry Oliver mentioned that in his newspaper column, the support acts need to be improved for the paying public.

Perhaps they need to run the local Hyundai series?

Pah! You guys ought to try Silverstone. You can do all of that simultaneously...

[Matt K]

The SVG - Slade collision was.... well, awkward.

How does Macca Jones take out two of his competitors in a single move and escape penalty?

How did SVG avoid dropping his fastest time from Race 5 qualifying for bringing out the red flag?

[GTRMagic]

A #97 RBART Whitewash across all 3 races..

Mr Feeney did good to finish 2nd in this morning’s race

While Mr Hazelwood kept the TAMSR team in the headlines after a strong qually performance for the race this afternoon

There are some bent cars out there..
…and some implausible stories..

Not sure how a gearbox electronics can be different between gearboxes when they are theoretically spec parts.. odd..

While for Mr Ambrose’s benefit, Mr Douglas ran the Coke Commodore for the PremiAir team, which has nothing to do with TAMSR…

Onto the Grand Prix now..

[Kingair]

Could somebody please explain how Slade never finished up barrel rolling the Mustang after that incident with Cam Warers?

[Kingair]

Mr Feeney is showing a lot of promise.

Nice to see Mr Hazelwood get a good result in race 5.

Crazy Dave was impressive today.

,Was Mr Cauci Symmons Plains?

Hopefully Erebus will be firing on all cylinders for the Grand Prix round!

[Matt K]

Don't want to sound too dramatic but for me it's already SVG's season to lose. Let's face it, had it not been for such a problematic race 2 in Sydney, he'd have won all five races and I doubt this can change suddenly. My impression is he has no one to fight with at the moment.

On the flipside to that, I'm terribly disappointed with Thomas Randle. Kind of expected a lot more from him, maybe the general performance of Tickford also hinders his progress but so far he's been one of the biggest disappointments of the season for me.

Cauci was at the Plains.

[Kingair]

Didn’t know there was a garden centre at the racetrack!

As Matt K said, it is SVG’s season to lose.

Gen3 testing at Symmons Plains today.

When Penske were at DJR, it would seem that there was a much bigger budget with greater resource access, while some might say some marginal legality, and the difference between Penske and everyone else was clear.

After the "big sulk", and then the "big threat", 888 had bolstered their systems and resources to take the fight to Penske, who never really got over the "big sulk" and the "big threat" and used the excuse of COVID after adding a Bathurst trophy to the Mothership trophy cabinet, and decided to pack up and leave the DJR partnership and take SM3 with them and head back to the USA.

888 never suffered a drop in revenue, partnerships, structure, or resources. That doesn't seem to the same at DJR, starting with the loss of Penske and the associated backing, as well as SM3.

And here we are
