About half a dozen cars just fired off the road at the start of the main race, luckily there has been very little damage.

Kelly got the marshall's box lightly but other then that nobody else really hit anything other than each other.

Here is an alternate stream by the way (the one I normally use buffers badly):

Wood has collapsed a left front wheel.

Mostert has lost a tire...

Moffat's now lost one. I think this must be a general problem now.

Courtney has lost one now.

the whole field is literally losing tyres

Percat has lost one at turn 1. This is getting ridiculous now.

Edit that was a suspension failure at turn 3. Still the amount of tire failures is worrying.

Coulthard's right front has gone now.

Mostert with another one. Pye's went as well a little while back. I've lost count of how many have gone now.

yikes, this is like NASCAR at Indy in 08'

Safety car is finally out.

There was about 2 more after Simon fell asleep too, including one leading to a t-bone at turn 3

Have V8 Supercars said they're going to do anything about it?

They've been in a meeting this morning there

Much action in Toyota's

SC for a crash

That could have ended up worse

In short, they've mandated a larger minimum tire pressure and reccomended people use less camber. There's no more sets of tires.

They're also going to put a cone on the pit entry, as a bunch of penalties were handed out for people slightly cutting the entry.
