[iV8SC12R12&13] SkyCity Triple Crown, 15-17 June
And the travelling circus that is V8Supercar makes its next stop on the calendar in sunny Darwin...
Hard on engines, hard on drivers, hard on spectators... its a place where the form book kinda goes out the window... Its hard to imagine 888 enjoying the last couple of rounds of non-dominance... its equally hard to imagine FPR actually remembering how to keep speed and tyre life in their cars. Who will win? I would say it will be hard to toss the #2 HRT car.. with the usual 3 or 4 Fords following, and the #1 in there somewhere. Or not...

Well there are going two possiblities:
A. TeamVodafone wins, everyone there will most likely sing "We Are The Champions" and gloat on how good they are. (Might also chuck in The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) for good measure) B. Someone else wins, TeamVodafone will blame everyone else bar themselves (with the exception of Craig Lowndes, he isn't egotistical) with the most noise coming from Roland McDonald and Jamie and then get the V8 men in suits to investigate, re-investigate and re-appeal everyone else and their stances. |

Some cars looked out of control but produced the goods, lap to lap Webb looked odds on to bin it, same for Junior. Brighty and Fabulous did a great lap and changed springs and shocks and went a second slower. Lowndes looked quick all day. I reckon the finger will be wagged at them as there was an observer for all of the 3rd session noting who was cutting the kerb at the gravel trap. At one stage I thought Patrizi was going to have the whole car over it. |

Were there any post race penalties that may have made the difference?
There are quite a few pilots who reckon they were smacked out of the way by someone else that may have been reviewed subsequent to the #7 pointscore Interestingly, the NASCAR pointscores at the end of races always label them unofficial, yet #7 makes no such warning... Still unsure why NatSOft isnt up yet It is clear the FPR cars are absolute jets, but their strategy and their nut behind the wheel arent as strong as those at 888... |

How good was JDub's machine today?
That pass on Willy D at the final turn was a cracker. Almost as good as Ambrose on Big Nose up there a few years ago....... |

as if he was hit from behind when the congo line came across the stationary car or at worst CL pulled up quickly in front of him to avoid the goings on if Patrizi wasn't touched up himself ? Am i being too harsh in saying that i thought David Russell seemed to have plenty of time to notice that there was drama ahead ? Last edited by Reload; 16 Jun 2012 at 20:48. |

Is there a minimum number of laps the safety car has to do?
Russell waited until it was called yesterday and then started his car and went. The safety car picked the field up at the end of that lap and could have returned the race to green after only that one lap on track. Instead it went another lap which allowed Lowndes to catch up to the rear of the field after his pitstop. If they had gone back to green straight away he would have had half a lap to catch up. I might have been wrong but I thought I could hear Roland on the phone from where I was in turn 5
