SC just on TV now, and I have to say, that wasn't really worthy of a SC.

I think that may be old news for some. How can we be so far behind?

Yeah we're about 7 or 8 laps behind live timing, which is crap.

Motors TV is only 15 seconds behind or so, where are you guys watching it on?

Live Timing ticked over to 144 laps complete while on TV the cars where on Conrod straight.

Could be down to the ads, on the feed Motors gets the adverts on channel seven only seem to be 10 seconds long. So I guess they show everything slightly tape delayed when they come back.


They're gonna be an hour behind by the finish if that's true! :lol:

Are you kidding me! His car was parked 10 metres from the side of the track, on the Chase, just past the hump. Anybody could have come and hit him and there would have been a HORRIFIC accident, which could have easily killed somebody.

If there is a decent battle on track, Channel 7 takes a 3-5 minute ad break and comes back only a couple of corners later and the live delay builds up, with the delay only being reduced if there is a SC. This time I don't think they are even bothering as they've come back with the cars on Conrod Straight rather than just rounding the final corner to restart.

You do have a point, but in support races all weekend, they haven't called SC's for cars parked on Conrod. Mind you, it probably has made this race more watchable, because for the most part, it was boring as fuck.

You know there is potential for chaos here even without the fuel issue - will Lowndes be expected to let Whincup past given the championship situation? The crowd would be close to rioting if that happens...

Just a thought, I can't imagine Craig doing it voluntarily but...

Well, Whincup is supposedly a bit close on fuel as is Ingall. But somebody just said that most people would be OK. If somebody wrecks in the late stages and we get another SC then everybody should be OK.

I'd say not a chance in hell of that happening.
