Any other driver would have wrote it off.

Every other driver (except Slade) managed to keep it off the wall in the first place.  ;D

Every other driver has not crossed the line 1st in ,3 from 3 races this year either.

Every other team at least had legal cars for on of the 3 😁  ;D

You've given it the commentators curse: https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/hazelwood-disqualified-from-race-3-qualifying/
:D

Race 4 started by a flag drop! Will Brown went as soon as the wrist moved - hes obviously done his fair share of amateur racing! Well played. I do the same at the Bathurst SuperSprint.
What's the minimum race distance again? It's due to end in 5mins and we've completed 3 laps.

I enjoy Supercars at the AGP but they need to seriously consider withdrawing from the event if F2/F3 continue to eat up the schedule

see what happens when a driver doesn't just pull over and let SVG just sail on past.

A lot of drivers could take a leaf out of Will Browns book.  SVG from 2nd to 6th in 3 corners, great to see
If you don't like my comment, ignore it. If you don't know how to ignore it, message me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate how.

Kostecki doesn't take anything either, and you just know JC in behind won't roll over. Great racing!

I'm not sure anyone knows what's going on in this race - the commentators certainly don't.
Sleuth or Speedcafe are going to have to write an article to unravel this.

Why the **** do we bother going here??? Just leave this event to F1's & stay at home!

I'm loving it. Supercars getting a taste of their own medicine. Now they might feel the pain that support categories get at their events.

I have no problems with support categories getting cut.. They are there to support & the race program must be written to the main event.. I just don't think Supercars needs to be a support category..

They would have been better off taking the twilight slot again like they used to at least - so that they can race into the night if needed

That was a joke. Not worthy of championship status.

Have a feeling this won't be the final podium; it looked like Courtney hit the back of Waters into Turn 1 and caused the incident with Reynolds.

I thought Jones and Frosty were on to something there but would need to read the pit window rules again. Although in the past an SC at the start has usually pushed the pit window further anyway.

As a Frosty fan I'm glad it didn't work... I've waited a very very long time for another Frosty podium (And God willing a win) & I wouldn't want it that way..

It was shaping up as a great race, a shame about the delayed start & then 2 yellows... Maybe these gen3 cars will produce better racing after all..

Borderline, you're right.
Since there's 4 races, they're only worth 75pts anyway - the least of any other race.

Was there also a safety car stuff up hidden amongst this?

If the support categories keep getting screwed over and cut, they will eventually stop coming and where will that leave supercars? Pretty lonely as the only category or with such 💩 support categories that people stop going to events or cutting their expensive pay tv subscriptions.

The supports need to start being treated as partners and not an inconvenience to the main game..

Does a time certain race negate the 75% completed laps??? did they get to 75%?

You're being saying that for 20+ years & the end didn't come!!

At the end of the day, there is only so may light hours in the day & if you dont have support categories stopped short, then they need to biuld bigger breaks (& less support categories) to each race meeting. Then you get people complaining not enough race time on track.. Can't have it both ways.. You either cut them short or have less of them with bigger gaps between race action for most of the time.. But hey, don't let reality get in the way of a story
