Slightly disappointed Bathurst and the Japanese GP are split by a week this year, the timings usually work out well for pulling an all nighter with Bathurst finishing just in time for the start of the F1.

Could watch the Russian F1 afterwards instead. I am working so have the recorder set for both.
New lap record in practise by the "Green car".
Red Bull fun to get there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_3EMRp_0c0

Really looking forward to this one! Think it will be another close race, will be interesting to se how quick the Volvo is.

We have a good set up for this one as well! Will be watching it all live on Motors TV, have also had 2kg of Kangaroo steaks deliverd for on the BBQ. So in the main living room we have the large TV showing the race, with my playstation race seat set up with GT6 on another TV. All of this next to a large fridge of Beer.....

Can't wait!
Mike

"Green car" now very unwell. Was overtaken by one of its own wheels.
Hopefully it makes it in the race.

Whincup at the back, just what the race needed. Quite a few surprise names in the top ten.

Great qualifying laps, everyone absolutely on it and some over it.

Scotty very quick in the Volvo but he's driving it at 12/10ths and I sense a calamity.

Mark Skaifes shouty commentary is brilliant:

"300KPH DOWN CONROD STRAIGHT!"
"THE FASTEST TOURING CAR CORNER IN THE WORLD!"
"800 CENTIGRADE ON THE BRAKES!"

And, the best one:

"BANGING DOWN THROUGH THE GEARS, REV LIMITER!! - HE'S HANGING OFF OF THE VALVE SPRINGS!"clap


Brilliant stuff, can't wait for the race.

Skaify could still put a car on pole, the whole commentary team is brilliant...

HRT #2 of Tander and Luff is out.

Huge accident in practice when Luff lost his brakes and hit Lowndes. Damage to the roll cage of the #2 car can't be repaired.

It's the way Lowndes fully sprints over to help as well, he's a top guy.

Coverage has already started for me, can't wait.

There's probably about 10 cars that could win it this year... epic!! Definitely made better by Whincup starting from the back too...
