betr Darwin Triple Crown - **may contains spoilers**

[AlbertM]

Off to Darwin next week, maybe the Mustang can continue its good form

they should do ok as you won't be there LOL

life is way too quiet on the SC front. they just aren't staying in touch with the fandom at all (that I can see)... how can they hope to become the all dominating category that they keep telling themselves they are if they are not continually present in people's minds?

hopefully it will put on a good show.

Also...cool that it is indigenous round with all the liveries. But sick of seeing livery news.

Agreed, I'm still not a fan of the forced first nations livery. It was better when teams would do it on their own merit, it felt far more genuine.

You're pathetic!

Irony is, Tickford got howled out because they didn't do enough a year or so ago.

[AlbertM]

Maybe, maybe they have to sand bag so they can keep parity equal for Bathurst

But it's only the whinging Ford fans that always bring up parity...

That must make tickford prophetic, for knowing that we would get tired of it.

Did they do enough this year? Maybe not. They might be the most un-Australian team out there. 

[mikeamerica84]

WAU Andretti nowhere near where they should be.  A disappointment IMO.

As for liveries, those DJR cars make me crave a hotdog with mustard and catsup all over it.  I'll be going to the local dirt speedway tonight to watch some sprint car action.  Now I know what to grill for me and my buds!

Struck a nerve Albert? That's new BWAHAHAHA.

It's tokenism, and a form of which has been taught and discussed at length in all contemporary First Nations teachings.
Where's the continuation throughout the season supporting these causes? It's a 'one and done' method.

Once again you claim my post as ironic referring to something I never said mixed in with your own subjective understanding of what the 'general' public thought last year through your own lens of social media/news platforms.

[SetonFan]

Nice to see Frosty get a podium again - bit of a shame for Golding though. Hopefully Mostert qualifies better tomorrow

Actually, a super enjoyable race to watch today. Chaz was incredible to watch.

And yet another mechanical issue for Kostecki. For a team that had no issues and won the championship last year, they are now the plonkers in last place.

Also, Kostecki seems to have car issues every round. Almost like someone is sabotaging his car. And after what we have heard about the characters inside this team, that would not surprise me.

How much you wanna bet that these "one and done" liveries get carried over to Townsville?

Supercars have done and do special liveries for other causes, yet only these indigenous ones strike a nerve. The teams actually put in a bit of effort to engage aboriginal artists to design the these yearly "token" liveries. Some of them are stunning. Not a bad tradition for what started with 888 when they ran Fords.

I didn't claim you said anything. Only "You're pathetic" was in reply to you. I found it ironic that someone (that just happened to be you) complains about the liveries being forced on to the teams, when in the past someone said that teams didn't put enough effort into it.

BTW, do you observe ANZAC day, Remembrance Day, King's B'day, Australia Day, Christmas, Easter, promote a charity... all the time throughout the year? If not, by your standard, you've engaged in tokenism.

[stevo qld]

Considering that several teams announced at their livery release that they would retain the indigenous wrap for Townsville, that is a rather one-sided bet.

Apologies, 'two and done.'

The liveries don't strike a nerve, never said they did. They look fantastic.
Supercars approach is a box ticking one. I didn't realise one/two events out of 12/13/14 (however many) is an outcome that engages and continually supports not only these mobs but the pathways and integration within the Motorsport Industry of Australia. That means staff, volunteers and competitors.

What 888 did was great, funnily enough, when owned and ran by an Englishman.
They continue to do so as well, in a continual manner with the Racing Together program, in which Dane, Morris and Story all have hands in, and have cars entered this very weekend.

It's fantastic that you compare something that covers current racial gaps, cultural differences and social agenda's to that of dates that typically have historical meaning or charity. Now that's irony.

And normal programming resumed - boring

Be good if the Ford's could stitch together a few rounds for a change.

didn't get to see any of today's action... was it issues with any of the blueys or simply just not on the money?

[skaifeman]

I'm miffed as to why, and it would seem the Ford teams are too: https://speedcafe.com/ford-teams-allude-to-fresh-parity-concerns/
Grove suggests that it's top end, and WAU suggest it's the tyre - which is a driveability issue. Two completely different parts of the map.

Another ironic thing is Tim Edwards, did anyone see the interview? It may as well have been Adrian Burgess. The face is different, but the words are the same.
The transient dyno can't come soon enough, to at the very least put it to bed.
