Well time certain Race 4  :( no SC but lost 3 laps due to F3 delay well I suppose that shows SC is the support act.

close racing, but one driver error and you pay bigtime as Watters found out.

It's such a high grip circuit. The cars are so loaded that when a anyone makes a minor error (ala Feeney) and loses that grip you miss the corner by a mile.

Interesting you complain now but not when the Mustang debuted miles ahead of the commodores

Two very good races so far - hopefully the shorter races are alright over the weekend.

But the Mustangs are not miles away like last year. Headline, T8 as a team is incredibly fast. They have won every race.

You are the least qualified person to call others out. Back then you were howling at the moon, claiming a fictional 1 second a lap advantage a lap to the Mustang.  ;D  :P  8)

I've watched the first two races.  Parity?

Throw the 888 Red Bull cars out of there and you pretty much have it.  Their engineering and bankroll are just gapping the field.

Races for today and tomorrow have Ford 1-3 on the grid! Tune in!



I spoke way too soon. Mostert nowhere off the line, and the other two were sure to take each other out.
Genuine shame, both those guys were hot.

Regardless, Payne has announced himself as a consistent challenger this weekend.
All from a team that was mid pack at best pre Gen3 - who would've thought.

3rd race Fords start first 3 positions, Chaz bugged up the start and then 2 fords take each other out, V8 supercars need to fix this up :)  :)

Why do Supercars need to fix this up?

Waters drives into the back of Payne.

Payne doesn't see Waters and escorts them both into the wall.

Big shame, Payne is a ripper and super talented. I believe an honest mistake.

Waters though, I do not think he is at fault here, but man that guy is a sook.

Trev's post was made prior to race 5. He's not wrong. We are still waiting on engine testing.

Ah yes. The engine testing, it does need to be fixed.

I read the previous post as ford's started 1-2-3 and then took each other out...so Supercars needs to fix it.

They just unfortunately all tripped up.

Are they AU Falcon's out there or Mustangs?
The two leading Ford's take each other out AGAIN!

Go Percat! Hopefully the Bulls fumble each other.

I reckon Brown will sit behind Percat here, won't risk losing any time or potential position to Feeney to win the weekend.

Good to see Ford teams and drivers back to working against each other at all cost, parity issue my ass.
