Bad luck for the Norton Nissan in the pits there.

not the first time in that corner either, maybe its time for some changes to be made to the track in that area?

Factory Holdens just too dominant but massive props to Pye and Walsh for a great effort. 2nd and 3rd for us which is great and promising for Bathurst.

I'd hate to see that, Dandenong Road is some of the best pieces of tarmac we have in Australia.

They did take that bit of the track out in the mid-80s, everyone hated the slower bit on the inside of the track that replaced it and cries rung out for years to bring it back which they eventually did.

Exactly. It would ruin a good corner, unless they moved it back from the outside fence or something. And although there have been some massive crashes there, the tire barriers have generally kept people safe.

Just to clear it up, I wasn't referring to changing the corner itself, we must preserve high speed corners.

Watching it again they have changed the wall a lot, at least its not sharply angled towards the racetrack, its almost parallel.

Not a lot they can do coming to think of it, other than lowering the kerbs and some resurfacing.

Hopefully it will be a combo that can take the fight to Whincup and Triple Eight on a regular basis.

And lappers need to be sent to the back before a restart..

Why?

Whincup had a 10+ second lead that was more than halved even after Courtney had cleared the traffic once the saftey car left the circuit.

I think Courtney benefitted more than enough from the safety car coming out.
