Round 1 - Newcastle Spoliers

[AlbertM]

WD did have a clutch failure.

Not surprised Brodie is doing well given his background. Amazingly close between everyone else which is great to see.

Closest top 10 in history apparently,

Isn't it!

Loving the start to the season.

Only blemish is the Newcastle track. I don't know what it's like at the track but it look shyte on TV.

Congrats to Brodie on the pole. The 00.3951 gap in the shootout is closer than the previous record from Barbagallo 2009 of 00.5222 between 10 cars. Brodie is the 16th driver to convert fastest qualifying to shootout win.

Mike, your place looks pretty good. I wouldn't handle the cold that well.

Hope for a fun race.

Why do they persist with showing the drivers? It's alway so awkward & boring.. And this year, it was just a complete mess!!

If I didn't know the faces, I would have no idea who was being introduced!

[TheArrow]

Well that was an awkward mess...

[Ospif1]

One issue with them being so close is it leads to boring races. Hope I'm wrong but I don't think we'll see much passing this weekend.

[AlbertM]

These fuel drops are so confusing. Used to be able to follow who's done what and predict the last stint.

[AlbertM]

1 each, 2 each, 3 each.

[TheArrow]

14 minutes left until time certain finish and 14 laps left in the race.

Amazing event organising.

[Joe5619]

Bor-ish race, but i think that's the track.. It does look like they can overtake easier, which should be good for better tracks.

No post race posts? Everyone fall asleep?

After all the hub-bub, it's status quo.

Yeah, 30,000kms of testing and millions spent for the same results.

Come on, it was pretty exciting when they displayed the Ford logo under Van Gisbergen's name after he crossed the line! Quality telecast!
