I emailed digital@supercars.com, they refunded me the Superview subscription and I have now subscribed to the YouTube channel instead.

Streams straight onto the TV like any other YouTube video, definitely worth the few extra £ imo

Race 2 was alright, Mostert on Anton when he exited the pits was a cracking lap, no contact, fair racing but firm.

SVG looked untouchable in both races didn't he.
I might do that y'know. The website stream was fine but it wasn't great watching it on an iPad.

Van Gisbergen was the class of the field this weekend but there's s lot pointing to close racing this season I expect to see JC closer to the front, BK impressed me this weekend CW & ADP will be having some close battles.

The one thing the impressed me with the 888 car was it's ride control over the bumps under braking.

Screen mirroring is the way to go.

I see Svg has broken his collarbone in a Mtb accident. Should be fit for the next round, but obviously far from ideal.

My brother broke his collarbone in Jan and was told 8 weeks to recover. I can’t see SVG being fit enough to drive in 2 weeks.

Jorge Lorenzo broke on a Thursday afternoon & after an operation to plate it, he was back on his Moto GP bike & rode it to fifth place.

I think SVG will be fine there are lots of motorcycle racers that have been riding after two weeks.

I think he will be fine as well but the one big difference between cars and bikes is the harness. Given how tight a racing harness is I wouldn't fancy it after two weeks but I'm sure they'll come up with a solution to ease any pressure on that area.

Skaife gets on my nerves sometimes with his excessive use of the word "unbelievable !" but fair play to SVG. That race was nothing sort of astonishing and well deserved of the "That is unbelievable !" from Mark biggrin

Sandown looks a great track to race on and always seems to have overtaking and I'm really looking forward to the 2 races coming up.

Not only fit enough to drive but fit enough to smash the field and win from 17th on the grid. What a legend!

But wouldn`t you expect talk about the race in this thread confused It`s the same with the F1 and BTCC threads, I don`t click them until I`ve watched the race.

Fair enough if I posted a thread with the race result in the title, but I can`t see how discussing it in a thread specifically about the series is a spoiler.


What a great 3 races ! The conditions always make it more interesting and plenty examples of quick reactions and superb car control throughout the field, especially in the last race.

SVG was amazing this weekend, the fact he had to have someone else remove the HANS clip from his helmet showed how limited his movement was yet his driving was as good as I`ve ever seen him.

Yes but when the races had only been on in the early hours & the person he was responding to hadn't watched the race yet, why not let them enjoy the race.

I haven't seen the 3rd race yet but I can guess how it went, SVG has been on top form & the 888 Commodore's ride control under braking is on a different level to the others at the moment.

From what I've seen so far from both rounds the up & coming guy to watch is Brodie Kostecki so far he's been consistent & pulling off some good overtakes.

As for DJR I think they're showing how much Penske brought to the table.

Kelly Racing seem to be getting on top of the Mustang which is nice to see,

Looks like it's going to be a bun fight over 2nd place though, as all the Fords seem fast out of the box but eat up their tyres sooner than the Holdens.

I agree with your points on the cars

imo, if you don`t want to risk a spoiler, don`t click on a thread discussing the races until after you`ve watched them

I think spoilers on this thread are fine. I watched the whole stream throughout the day and kept off here/social media as I knew it would spoil it.

SVG on another level to anyone else, and I can’t see anyone else catching him.

Future is looking bright with the Cam & Chad as I think they will be the next two to dominate the sport.

Brilliant stream by the way, one of the best five pounds I’ve spent in a long time!

I'm not worried about the spoilers - the race wasn't on free to air here so I won't watch it anyway. I can't even be bothered tracking down the highlights.

Plus I follow the RBR team on Instagram and they put stuff up straight away smile

Highlights are free and easy to find on youtube, it doesn't take much effort!
