No worries mate, one of the best races of the year, awesome.
Coverage is fantastic, love the way the commentators stop talking to allow us to appreciate the V8's!

[dan tournay]

Yeah, I'm on the YT one now too. Reckon I'll be up till 3 or 4 tonight then back for an early V8 breakfast

That tyre is a mess after 11 laps... Lowndes could be stuffed.

Long day with these tyres!

That's a really REALLY cool feature to have, loved that. Wish they did it for F1!

I hope there won't be any tyre related crashes with all these issues they're having. Frosty's flailing tyre in the Chase was probably as close as you'd want to get!

[Ponk]

Well I didn't intend to watch more than the first few laps. I think this is going to be a long night!

Is it a sore subject that Godzilla's great grandson is now the safety car?

You could hear it scrabbling through the right hander in the chase on previous laps, I dunno if it was the splitter hitting the floor rather than the tyre, but i'm not surprised the tyre gave up. It's going to be a huge gamble in terms of tyres.

Enjoying this - however I have just been reminded that I have a stupid o'clock start to drive to a crappy family do so staying up until 4am is a no go.

Anyone know where I can catch up with the highlights tomorrow night or, better still, is anyone out there recording this and if so would anyone be able/willing to burn me a copy so that I can watch it at my leisure?

More than a little bit pissed off that I can't see the race however family duty calls.....

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If you go to the V8 Supercar Channel on YouTube they usually post up the full races after... Whether they'll do it for the full 6 hours of Bathurst not sure but see no reason why not, even if it is in a few parts...

Looks like I'm the only one here, on the edgo of my seat- 10 to go, 0.7 between the leaders...

Looks like its going to go right to the wire. 4 in the mix and Loundes closing. Fantastic stuff!

The crowd are loving it too.

I'm still here. Had to take a break for a few hours though. Come on Reynolds! It'd just be nice to see somebody new win.

[Stuck In A Lift]

That was a real thriller.

[YorkshirePudding]

Just managed to get home for the last few laps, cracking finish.
