Some could be but there's about half a second to a second between most in the regular driver's favour.

Of course then you have guys who's guests have performed great, and the regular has trashed the car!

A great day out at the track. Taz was the first to get damage after hitting the first chicane and the added curb height. DR was the second one to have damage. This was all in the first session.

Some handy peddles in that list, maybe 2013 might see a "seven time" German who can still drive a little bit and needs something to keep busy...
Never say never.

I heard that the teams were given 1 extra set of softs for the co-drivers to practice on?

No real way of knowing, as the Sup Regs still aren't posted on the V8SC website !

Tander tries to sneak up the inside of a weaving, tyre warming David Wall and whammo.

Apparently its not a good idea for channel 7 to try and talk to a driver while he is competing in the top ten shoot out, even if its by "accident"

Did Channel 7 just decide the championship

From what I can gather they werent trying to talk to him but for some reason he could hear the 7 commentary. Dont blame him for being pretty unhappy about it, the last thing you need on a balls out quali lap is someone nattering in your ear regardless of who it is......

Nascar might be referred to as redneck by Australians, but at least the Americans to a man stand and take their hats/caps off for the National Anthem, not like here. Disgraceful, and even at Bathurst one of the so called legends did not take his cap off. Although he is Canadian.

Patrizi's "coey" looked seriously unimpressed when Patrizi was TRYING to make fun of his hair during the driver introductions.
