Great drive today by Will Brown for provisional poll.
I’m hoping the Mostert/Holdsworth duo have a good weekend.

Gotta say that watching the Camaro and Mustang cutting laps left me a little saddened. While in recent times the cars only really resembled Aussie cars, now even that’s gone. Never gonna be the same again

But they do look good

Had a power black out in the session, came back just to see him rip that out.
That's quick.

Bothe erebus cars disqualified from the top 10 result, they'll start 9 & 10.

The doors were underweight  ::)

something like  whole 200gms.  The whole car was over the weight but as Larko said the individual doors also have a set weight.

Same argument could be applied to DJR getting pinged for valve clearance on 5 of 8.

No difference in the real world, but limits were exceeded....

Great race by Chaz and Lee.   Even if SVG didn't have tyre problems I doubt he was going to catch Chaz.   

Cam Water and James Moffat 2nd and the young gun Brodie Kostecki and David Russell   3rd


Championship, SVG 1st Jamie Whincup 2nd.   I think they said Chaz jumped Will Davidson for 3rd.
