After a fairly processional event on the Gold Coast, the V8 Supercars make their 3rd trek to the Kingdom of Bahrain for the Gulf Air Desert 400. Jamie Whincup will be hoping to continue his great form after a perfect performance at Indy, and will also be looking to make amends for failing to score a point at this round last year which effectively cost him the championship. There are only 2 other contenders for the championship, Garth Tander (106 points behind) who had the speed at Indy but not the strategy, and Mark Winterbottom (75 points behind) who cleaned up at this round last year. With 900 points still available Lowndes (513), Davison (583), S Richards (628), R Kelly (682) and Courtney (710) are all still mathematical possibilities, but it would have to be an absolutely disastrous weekend for the top contenders for them to have even the remotest chance.

Heard rumors that the race was close to sold out. Find that hard to believe but anyway...

Certainly a surprising news story coming from Bahrain
http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.as ... ueID=31228

Quote:

Al Musalam to make V8 debut

BAHRAIN's Fahad Al Musalam will be the first Middle Eastern driver to participate in the Australian V8 Supercars Championship Series, starting with the Gulf Air Desert 400 which gets underway on Thursday at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in Sakhir.

Following talks between the BIC and Team Kiwi Racing, it was confirmed that he was invited to race for the New Zealand outfit after his exceptional performance in Winton Raceway with the Garry Rogers Motorsport team.

Al Musalam had tested GRM team in Australia last May as part of his prize after winning the Lumina CSV ME championship where he impressed many people, among them was Team Kiwi Racing.

"I am looking forward to driving with Team Kiwi Racing and it gives me great honour to be the first Middle Eastern driver to be racing alongside some of the world's top touring champions," said Al Musalam.

"I will be racing next to the Australian drivers with all their experience, but I aspire to start, finish and perform to the best of my ability."

Having tested with the Garry Rogers Motorsport team aboard a right-hand drive Holden, Al Musalam will now be driving a Ford as part of the Team Kiwi Racing outfit.

Al Musalam thanked Team Kiwi Racing for appreciating his talent and making his dream a reality. He is looking forward to meeting the team and drivers and hopes to make the Kingdom proud.

Hopefully he performs alright, certainly can't be any worse than Pither anyway.

Qualifying spoilers, not sure if it will be broadcast tonight, I highly doubt it.

[spoiler]No real surprises with maybe the exception of Todd Kelly in 3rd and Marshall and Patrizi making it to Q2 ahead of both Sprint Gas cars and both BJR cars. It will be an all Team Vodafone front row for race 1, with Jamie Whincup scoring the pole from Craig Lowndes.

It should be broadcast ahead of Race 1 tonight. Maybe it'll be highlights only, not that there were too many.

[spoiler]Great to see Toddler as the top Holden. Al Musalam is inside the 105% on times posted, but was actually outside the 105% after Leg 1. Fastest lap in Leg 1 was a 24.3, fastest in Leg 2 24.6, before ending with a 25.0 in Leg 3. Whincup was fastest in each part. Al Musalam mentioned that TKR are still using the h-pattern gearbox and that Garry's car (GRM) was easier to drive as they had a sequential. Made the standard comment that learning to shift with your left hand is difficult. Especially with the h-pattern.[/spoiler]

He wasn't on old tyres that time, 16th :ohmy:

markwebber · PostPosted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 12:18 pm

Apparently he flat spotted his final set, and given the drop off in times that's just suicide.

Yeah, still not really up there though.

They won't show full quali and an hour race in a 1.5hr telecast.

Pommy bloke isn't bad.

lol some of the best door to door racing of the season in the first few laps. Awesome move by Todd.

Also Patrizi needs a slap across the face, what the fuck was that??

markwebber · PostPosted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 2:59 pm

Bahrain, whatever your view on taking races away from Australia, or the lack of crowd, always provides some of the best sprint races of the year.

Ospi · PostPosted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:02 pm

lol Bright, wtf was that.

This commentator is sweet also, certainly done his homework.

Ospi · PostPosted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:12 pm

Frosty lol, you twit. More or less destroyed his and Tanders weekend. Whincup will be laughing.

garbo · PostPosted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:20 pm

I know your on delay, but got to love that Mark Dutton tells Whincup that Winterbottom took out Tander.

David Addison is the British commentator. Very impressive calling this weekend. Wouldn't have had to do too much research for this weekend as he did on track commentary with Paul Marinelli (sp?) at Bathurst, so would have been quite familiar with the cars after 161 laps.
