I'm getting AU vibes from the Mustang. It is quick but falls off sooner than ZB.

I reckon they are about half a second off the pace of the leading ZB's.....

Epic lap by chaz. Very close between the marquees which is what we want to see.

Some paddock shots for when you eventuallly return to the thread, Mike.

Cracking shootout.

Plenty of chances tomorrow, let's hope it's a great one

this has got to be one of the biggest 'do not finish' weekends ever. just about every corner has had a bingle and I think every category has had a short run.

VERY scary crash with the S5000's at the Chase. that could have ended so bad getting tipped in at those speeds in an open wheeler. if Jordan's car got air under it he would have flown to Bathurst township :( and then to top it off getting rammed while in the gravel by someone who didn't think it was a good idea to slow down while driving through a dust storm? really??

One of the better ones of the last few years in my opinion.

The lap from Chaz is one of the best from the Supercars era. Still surprised Penske didn't snap him up when he jumped ship to WAU.

both Erebus disqualified from the shootout because the doors weren't heavy enough (although the overall car weight was correct)

Silly oversight... wonder how much they were out by?

Agreed. So much winning potential for this race.

Word is that it was Chaz that turned down Penske.

Do Erebus make their own panels or do they buy them from WAU?

AlbertM

Sounds like Erebus was trying to pull a DJR/TP trick by shifting weight. Can understand a door was under effecting the total weight, but the weight was still in the car somewhere.

I actually disagree, I think it's been a very tame weekend with very minimal damage. There have been a handful of significant incidents but nothing on what we've seen in the past.

I think the lack of racing in the supports comes down to the long list of categories they are trying to cram into one weekend. There has been very little time between sessions meaning time certainty has come into play way more than usual.

I wonder if the Scrutineers removed and weighed the doors of all top 10 cars or maybe all 25 cars.
