His options might be narrowing.  What will happen to TCR Australia next year? 

Quote from: skaifeman on November 19, 2024, 09:30:45 AMWould be cool to add what type of car each team was running .

I only have back to 2021.  All other records were lost at sea when the old site sunk.

I do know, however, that V8SuperRiley always had a Ford.  It would have been a Mustang in 2020.  You had a Holden Commie back in 2015.  Helix always had a Ford and in 2017 it was a Falcon.  That leaves us with 2016, 2018, and 2019.  Brightman, Madaz, and tommo11 are no longer aboard here.  A tad bummed I am about Madaz.  We used to chat fairly frequently.

P.S.  The 88 team was docked 30 points post Race 2 for the uncontrolled wheel nut that rolled out of their pit box and into the fast lane of the pits.  This has been reflected in the Race 2 points tally.

Final results will be out in about 15-16 hours.  Tomorrow morning here in the States.  I had a hard time getting Race 2 over here but eventually got it.  Late be it.

I'll have my coffee cup next to me in the morning and whip out the abacus.
 

I think whatever the decision they were going to make they had to take in time considerations for the whole weekend.


https://www.supercars.com/news/officials-explain-adelaide-qualifying-decision-supercars-news-2024-crash-video
Motorsport Australia officials have explained why Race 23 qualifying was ultimately declared following a spate of crashes at Turn 8 at the VAILO Adelaide 500.

Richie Stanaway, Cameron Hill and David Reynolds crashed at the infamous sweeper approximately five minutes into the 15-minute session.

Stanaway went in first, but managed to recover his damaged car back to pit lane. Hill and Reynolds, however, crashed heavily just 11 seconds apart and came to rest on the run to Turn 9, causing a red flag.

A number of concrete barriers were dislodged at Turn 8 due to the impacts, with the wall repairs ultimately taking the session past the circuit cut-off time of 6:15pm local.

By then, stewards had an opportunity to assess the time sheets, and given all cars had had an opportunity to set a meaningful lap time, a recommendation was made to declare the session.

All told, championship leader Will Brown clinched provisional pole ahead of Cam Waters, while Chaz Mostert — who hadn't set a lap time — ended up 22nd.

"We went red flag, and then the recovery and resourcing component has commenced," Race Director James Taylor told select media, including Supercars.com, after the session.

"We were looking at the fact it's going to be a lengthy process to resume. So, we'd already started a procession to looking at what extension time we can get this evening, what was the maximum time we could run to.

"There was an arrangement on that, that was the plan we were going to. And then, we reached a point where we bypassed our maximum extension for time today, which was 6:15, so we made the announcement it was suspended.

"Then we then looked into the next avenue; is it possible, once we work through the rule books, to make sure we're doing everything right, to resume the session tomorrow at some point in time?

"The suspension gave us a chance to give it all clarity, read through and check through the rules. We needed to make sure everything's done above board and as it should be done to make sure it's fair and even for everyone."

The stewards were alerted of an impact warning from Stanaway's car, but there was no footage of a crash, with the Kiwi making it back to the pits. A number of cars passed through, with Hill crashing 24 seconds later. Yellow and then red flags were quickly displayed, with Reynolds hitting the wall just 11 seconds after Hill.

Ultimately, all cars bar Mostert and James Golding had set a meaningful lap time.

With regards to the status of the dislodged Turn 8 concrete barriers, Taylor reiterated that "near enough wasn't good enough," and that the wall had to be restored to original configuration.

"It'd be similar circumstances if we had a sudden downpour halfway through, you can see if everyone is settled up," Taylor added.

"Because under the rules, we have a 15 minute extension for qualifying, and we used all that, and some.

"We exercised every avenue to resume and make sure it's in the safest possible manner. But the fairness for the sport in general, is the way it's gone now."

Supercars will return on Saturday with Practice 3 at 10:00am local time/10:30am AEDT, followed by the Boost Mobile Top Ten Shootout at 12:35pm/1:05pm AEDT.

The Shootout will set the grid for the first 78-lap race of the weekend, Race 23, at 3:20pm local time/3:50pm AEDT.

The roster change window of opportunity for Adelaide is now closed.  Good luck to all this last round.

Last call for 2024.  Finish on the streets.  Dunlop Series, Trans-Am, Porsche Carrera Cup, Stadium Super Trucks, & V8 Super Utes on the undercard.  Will Brown v. Broc Feeney for the cup.  Two Supercar races to decide it.

Marvin will be behind the fences watching.   

Thanks for letting the Yank here start the thread.  My first spolier thread of the year.

Last call this weekend, men!  End of 2024!  There are still a few days to get your roster changes in before the streets of Adelaide turn into a race track.

There is a four-way battle for the V8CFL Championship:  Ecurie SCarGo, Kalyara Racing Team, TGI Racing, & TAA Performance (our defending champion)..

Then we have the V8CFL Tournament Championship match between R&K Motorsports and Ecurie SCarGo.

Thursday Midnight Sydney NSW time is the witching hour.  We have already had a couple of moves so far.

.

Might as well roll the dice.  Heck, it is a street circuit to boot.  It is anyone's guess.

With that I will make my last change.  R&K Motorsports Group B drop 17 and pickup 1.  I sure am going to miss Riana.

Quote from: stevo qld on October 19, 2024, 01:46:27 PMTCR managed to field only 12 cars with one third of the field Rogers entries.

The Fanatec GT Series also only had 12 cars for the race.  And this one was a three hour go, no the two one hour races.  A 12 car race in a short sprint three race format for TCR is somewhat palatable, but a three hour race with 12 cars was unbearable to me.

Too bad for this racing series.  It is on life support.

Quote from: Trevor on July 20, 2024, 04:45:16 AMI am hearing that come Monday Biden won't be running. I am hearing Michelle Obama will be the Democratic candidate

Well you tipped the first part of that right on the nose Trevor!  Joe exited stage left today.

but does the party have enough nous to put up a candidate who can not only do the job but garner enough public support in the time left to topple Trumpski?

Well.... it is done.  Kamala to the scrap heap.  Trump becomes the second President to serve split terms - two four year terms with not being President in between.  Grover Cleveland back in the late 1800s was the only other one.

A bit of irony here:  Melania Trump is the second First Lady (if that makes sense) to serve two split terms.  The first was Frances Cleveland.  Melania is 24 years younger than Don.  Frances was 28 years younger than Grover!  Hats tipped to BOTH guys!   

Coincidence?  I think NOT!

Oh.... wait..... Grover was a Democrat.  Don is a Republican.

Have fun with following our government the next four years gents!  Start ginning up your predictions for 2028 Trev!  You are pretty good at it, mate!  Got any lottery numbers in the meantime?
