Is the Youtube stream LIVE only or can one watch the full race back when ever they want?

You can watch it whenever.

You can watch it whenever you want and if you start watching halfway through you can skip to any part of the recording so far.

The Superview stream is either realtime or wait until the end then you can scroll back and forth in the recording but only after it's finished.

For most of us it doesn't really matter as its live whilst we are in bed anyway, although I did watch the qualifying and all 3 races live this weekend biggrin

As for DJR I think they're showing how much Penske brought to the table.
Personally I think it goes to show how good Scotty Mac was and would have battled somewhere in the top 3 had he stuck around.

SVG was on another level so far, just like Scott was last year. My only concern is consistancy. He was disappointingly average last year with too obscure midfield performances. Will be glad to see him become champion as he deserves to have multiple titles, just a shame not seeing him battling with Scott.

You're right Scott would've been further up but not enough imo to have performed better than Cam, as I said the Fords seemed to use their tyres up sooner than the Holdens, which will serve the Fords well in Safety Car restarts but not so much on the longer runs.

I'm not so sure. It's often been said McLaughlin's driving style resembles more like Lowndes - smooth inputs, earlier turn-in than SVG and coupled with the amount of time Ludo and Scott working together I think they would have done better at extracting tyre performance over a race.

It seems inconceivable that it'll be anyone but SVG's championship. Cam Waters is one of the stronger "best of the rest" but to get u to SVG's level he needs to step it up a notch, and the car needs to come on a bit too. Tickford would be the team to do it though, they are fantastic.

SVG at sandown was incredibly impressive - that shoulder (and ribs!) not hurting him too much and the car control in the wet was crazy good. There were lots of great moments form Sandown, a little precipitation really livens things up a bit.

As I said it'll be a bun fight for second.

I see SVG has had a 1st and 2nd in the GTs today whilst also winning the 6 hour. Man is a machine.

I thought they`d won the second GT race too. SVG led for his entire stint, but his teammate made a little mistake on the last lap and allowed the overtake. Second is a great result but SVG is untouchable right now

Got overtaken down into the Elbow on the last lap!

He's on a different level as are 888 as a team at the moment.

I was happy to see ADP put in a decent performance. It was a good performance full stop by DJR actually.

Any idea why Walters went backwards? He just completely lost pace.

The Fords especially the Tickfords have been using up their tyres quicker than the Holdens & DJR cars, they've been doing all season & the same in 2020.

The big thing for the 888 cars is their ride control under braking it means they're able to jam the brakes on later.

Kostecki has been the standout for me so far, ADP has done okay but no more than that.

Russell Ingall is back for Bathurst with Broc Feeney as a wildcard in a 888 car. It's starting to look a lot like they're getting Feeney ready for a move into Whincup's seat next season.

Awesome! Will be great to see The Enforcer back on track.

Although at 57 I suspect he may just do the minimum number of laps!

Finally caught up with the racing from The Bend & it was lively good to see DJR start to get towards the front more regularly Tickford still seem to have their tyre issues.

Cam was unlucky, the fight for second is going to be fierce.

I have to say the Superview coverage is great much more comprehensive than before.
