We should take bets for which 100km window everyone thinks the race will be called off at... I'll go 600-700km
In the event the race gets shortened, is there a minimum distance required before it can be called "official".  75%?  Two laps behind the safety car like F1 at Spa last year?   >:(

And, once again, the minimum drive time for the drivers.  Can it be waved?

I think the minimum drive time ends up being the same percentages of the shortened race.

I seem to recall that in a previous shortened race some years ago, Brad (BJR) assumed that the minimum time would be reduced. He was wrong and got pinged.

If there is a shortened race likelihood, I would expect that teams ensure that co-drivers get their minimum early.

Murphy has pulled out some funny one liners today. In the press conference when asked if brake locking was a problem his response was 'not for me... I'm not fast enough!' 🤣
He's 1.7 off the pace but is loving it. I reckon he'll get over confident and wall it by weekends end tho. 😞

No rain today, a bit misty in the morning and late, tomorrow will be different

The new Mustang and the new Camaro looked  good

Mark Skaife, you are a dead set nob!!! Jamie is NOT going to qualify over Brock

I was in a tee all morning.

rain has now started. slick arvo it would seem.

next on track is in 1 hour for 86 race so see what happens between now and then.

We saw what happened then. I lost count of the spins and offs at The Chase.

That 86 race certainly was a crazy one. I thought they were going to call it off after the first lap.

Time to see how the form carries over to the wet conditions as well. It looks wetter than it was for qualifying in 2019.

Working fine for me at the moment.

Looks like it's starting to get really bad with aquaplaning at certain points.

Stanaway to make the Shootout in a wet qualifying surely!

Better grab your hat out and eat it.

Bold call, Broc has been driving that thing pretty well all year. He did get hustled in the wet at Eastern Creek, but that was his debut solo race.
