really... what is the point of them doing their celebratory burnout at the back of the circuit where nobody is (save the tv cameraman and maybe accredited photographers)...

they should be allowed to come down onto the front straight after the race in front of the grandstand for this event.

That was awesome. Meanwhile starting to think Stanaway's time might be up - he's had a lot of chances.

He started the year quite well. Bad weekend at Sydney.

Rumour is Anton may squeeze him out.

I have been surprised by Stanaway's poor form in a top 5 car. He appears to be better suited to a co-driver's role.

888 must be happy that they ignored SVG's recommendation of Stanaway to replace him.

The mid-pack racing has been spiced up. From the last few races it's nice to see the leaders can go toe to toe and not bash each out of they way.

Makes sense that Anton ends up there and Kai Allen at DJR.

I would love to know why Stanaway struggles in the supercar so much - kinda reminds me a bit of Alex Davison.

From what I've read, seen & heard, for some reason he's quick on new tyres but struggles on worn tyres. Possibly tends to go to hard and overheat them early. It was an explanation given for why he's so good in wet weather - can generate heat in wet tyres in the rain.

Next year's Dunlops may suit him very well.

It was one of Tickfords pet-peeves that Stanaway was over driving the car. Shame. I thought he would have been great after his masterful performance at Bathurst in the rain.

Stanaway needs tyres that can be worked hard and still hold grip to superstar a race. He is very talented but may be better suited to another category.
