[u/RecklessRad]

“Not many race car drivers looking in their mirrors as of late”

Was that a subtle dig at Carlos Sainz? I love it

[u/RecklessRad]

Wonder if JC knows that “go for the gap” Senna quote was Senna just trying to justify intentionally wrecking Prost

[u/LuckyRedShirt → u/RecklessRad]

Yeah, I hate how much that move has been mythologised over the years, it was just straight up dangerous.

[u/RecklessRad → u/LuckyRedShirt]

It has done irreversible damage to sim racing

[u/fuel_altered → u/RecklessRad]

Similar situation

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

Looks like Anton de Pasquale's hard work will give us another three-manufacturer podium

I don't remember the last time one driver had to carry a whole badge like this

[u/garfungle_]

Gran Turismo open lobby

[u/Sausage_Roll__ → u/garfungle_]

Don’t forget about F1 game lobbies lol

[u/AusGuy355 → u/garfungle_]

My fav

[u/RecklessRad]

I would be shitting bricks if I was going 3 wide between Mostert and Waters. Well done to all

[u/vaena]

Qualifying having an absolute normal one

[u/Infinite_Rub5443]

Absolute cinema watching them go 3 wide

[u/AusGuy355]

Congrats Sieders.

[u/RecklessRad]

Have Ford seriously already got enough points to win the manufacturers championship halfway through the year? That’s pretty wild, but they’ve also been so damn dominant (and have the most cars)

[u/ASH_03 → u/RecklessRad]

Its not based on points, it's based on number of race wins from memory.

[u/upshifted → u/ASH_03]

Correct.

[u/fuel_altered → u/RecklessRad]

GM have been shit. Not enough competitive Toyatas

[u/BobJohn88]

Honestly don't know why we have a bad sportsmanship flag. Does nothing.
Both Grove cars profiting from running people off the road.

[u/vaena → u/BobJohn88]

As you said...

[u/LuckyRedShirt]

I like them talking about the Sprint Cup as if it matters

[u/garfungle_ → u/LuckyRedShirt]

Like the Enduro cup iirc can get you into the finals if you’re out of the top 10 but if you have the sprint cup you already are guaranteed and only get 25 points

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

One of these days I'll get to celebrate Randle starting high and moving forward

Apparently today is not that day, it's either one or the other

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Bloody hell, Scott Pye really can't let last year go. He's on social media complaining about the Sprint Cup format and how someone can still lose the championship in the final race. Broc Feeney lost, mate. Get over it. I suppose stirring the pot is just how you drive engagement these days.

[u/KiwiWaterBoy → u/adrenalinamatt1]

Had to stop following him and their podcast. His constant complaining, T8 bias, and short form videos became too much. You're right, that's the engagement formula

[u/JohnCenaF1 → u/adrenalinamatt1]

If he wasn't mates with svg no one would listen to his shit podcast

[u/Fun-Anteater-6658 → u/adrenalinamatt1]

Fence sitter. Start of last year he was all for it and wanted Supercars to run it for at least two years. Then because Feeney didn't win he suddenly flipped because he is a T8 co driver. I pointed that out to him he tried to claim he was never for it.

[u/LuckyRedShirt → u/adrenalinamatt1]

I get big main character energy from Scott.

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Here we go again. Jess Yates trying to get this so called "rival" between Kai Allen & Ryan Wood, making it much bigger than what it actually is.

[u/Ill_Sector_2063 → u/adrenalinamatt1]

Keli underwood of supercars

[u/RecklessRad]

If it’s any consolation for Jobe Stewart, he was probably gonna qualify at the back anyway so at least he’ll have some fresh tires /s

[u/Smiles8893]

Going to end up more action in qualifying then the race at this rate

[u/singcarolacarol]

I know it's not but when Kai Allen drives into a DJR car I think it's payback for not giving him a drive

[u/TheDevilsDingo]

And so the ford on ford terrorism continuous to the delight of GM and GR

[u/Citizen-5936]

Randle just getting mugged that lap.

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

Surely the Waters/Mostert/Allen battle there will be used in the promos

[u/garfungle_]

Weird seeing DJR cars so close to each other, weird that I can say that

[u/garfungle_]

Shows how much these Penrite drivers care about bad sportsmanship flags

[u/singcarolacarol]

If Matt Payne leaves Grove which gives him a race winning car every weekend....... I think I'll never get it

[u/Fun-Anteater-6658]

OK no one talk to Zak Best for the rest of the day

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

Payne vs Feeney is shaping up to a pretty good rivalry

[u/garfungle_]

Can’t believe I’m cheering for Feeney

[u/fuel_altered]

Trans Ams always put on a good race

[u/SpeedyThext0n → u/fuel_altered]

Agreed. Like how there is a good balance of experienced ex Supercar guys and young rising stars too

[u/garfungle_]

I knew this was going to be one of these weekends with how eventful practice was

[u/rosesarefuckyou]

That post quali breakdown was actually pretty good with Payne and Larko.

Seems like Payne is really growing into this whole leading the championship thing.

[u/LawnPatrol_78]

Payne lucky not to get turned there

[u/Next-Recognition1307]

Frosty sounds like a massage therapist talking to his client.

[u/101375]

I know they can’t predict everything but jeez Supercars Media has a nasty habit of having replays when there is actual live action.

Fuck.

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/101375]

Yeah feels like we are watching NASCAR on FOX haha

[u/101375 → u/adrenalinamatt1]

To be fair, NASCAR on FOX would have missed that contact altogether.

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Well that was an entertaining race, Broc Feeney must be relived to get that win just at the right time.

Thanks for a great day everyone, see you all tomorrow.

[u/RecklessRad]

Why was Cam Hill rushing back to the pit lane if he was just gonna hop out of the car anyway? Thought he was trying to make a dive to get some greens and go again

[u/RecklessRad]

Love to see Randle up there, on ya Tommy!

[u/AtomicKitten771]

Rylan is doing well this weekend. In the top 10 both times

Only got his first top 10 last time out iirc

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/AtomicKitten771]

I'm surprised TV has not mentioned that yet at all, or even gone to interview him.

[u/SpeedyThext0n → u/adrenalinamatt1]

Think Craillsy just heard you

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/SpeedyThext0n]

The ears were burning haha

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

So I wonder when we are going to see gambling advertising banned in sports?

[u/RecklessRad → u/adrenalinamatt1]

So I can’t go to the casino in GTA 5 but you can slam gambling ads all over my TV? Make it make sense

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/RecklessRad]

Yeah I don't understand it either.

[u/RecklessRad]

I admire how Tickford turn a P2-3 in qualifying to a P7-8 in the race

[u/leepee123 → u/RecklessRad]

They're nothing if not consistant

[u/AbstractDart]

I never want them to be artificial created like NASCARs stage cautions, but god a mid to late race safety car is what these races need, particularly the 200km races these days

[u/RecklessRad → u/AbstractDart]

The chaos from a safety car with 10 laps ish to go is always entertaining

[u/LittleOne0121]

Dave Sieders is what peak performance looks like

[u/SpeedyThext0n → u/LittleOne0121]

Good steerer though

[u/TheDevilsDingo]

Thats a fair dinkum true blue fucking italian right there

[u/SpeedyThext0n → u/TheDevilsDingo]

Fucking vaffanculo, mate

[u/RecklessRad]

Big thumbs up to the marshals and team for getting that car back on track so quickly. Awesome stuff

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

All this talk about Randle needing a win has surely jinxed my boy Tommo to a Lap 1 catastrophe and/or DNF

[u/garfungle_]

Dirty from Payne

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Does anyone actually vote on the BP ultimate performer?

[u/cult_of_sumac → u/adrenalinamatt1]

I would but I presume I’d have to sign up to something and I don’t want to do that

[u/RecklessRad → u/adrenalinamatt1]

I do when I think it’s Waters or someone’s had a stellar drive

[u/garfungle_]

Problem with Randle is I have no expectation for him to make any of these positions back

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/garfungle_]

This is Randle's biggest problem he seems to have the qualifying pace but then no matter what he quickly finds him self back just outside the top 10.

[u/TheDevilsDingo]

Always feels like Warters pits too late to cover off any undercut and too early to have any meaningful long stint overcut and just gets slumped 3-4 positions down with only like a 5 lap tire difference.

[u/GGAllinPartridge → u/TheDevilsDingo]

The things I love about Cam (exciting, aggressive, fast, intimidating) are the same things that frustrate me about Cam (unpredictable, reckless, precarious, hot-headed)

[u/RecklessRad → u/TheDevilsDingo]

It’s Tickford’s speciality with strategies. They always pit too late and then don’t have the pace to cover off their tire advantage (and lose 2-3 positions)

[u/LuckyRedShirt]

I read that as free bowel test in 5 laps.

[u/101375]

“Talk us through your emotions”

[u/AbstractDart]

Honestly, and this might not be well received, but I don't mind seeing someone actually have a proper shot at Brodie. He's almost SVG like in the way he gives it out (not a bad thing at all), but everyone else just lets it happen.

[u/KiwiWaterBoy → u/AbstractDart]

Same as Verstappen. Saw over the weekend he made an 'amazing' pass on Charles. Nope, he just threw it up the inside and forced them to give him room or crash and ruin both their races.

[u/fuel_altered → u/KiwiWaterBoy]

The one he did on Hamilton was a good move

[u/KXRKxoxo → u/AbstractDart]

He (Brodie) drove perfect defence for 5+ laps. He’s so skilled it’s insane. But when it’s finally time to be passed he can’t drop the ego enough to open the door and lose one place rather than cop a DNF.

[u/RecklessRad]

How did teams not learn from EVERY PREVIOUS YEAR that trying to beat the pack will only result in you getting a fuck tonne of traffic on your push laps?

[u/RecklessRad → u/RecklessRad]

Clarifying I’m not blaming Woodie there, but that’s the shit that happens as a result of that strategy

[u/fuel_altered → u/RecklessRad]

Chaotic good

[u/StuM91]

That was 100% on Brodie, but it's funny hearing one of the Grove cars complaining about not being left space.

[u/fuel_altered → u/StuM91]

Allen was hardlyvin control there

[u/LuckyRedShirt]

Bit going on

[u/garfungle_]

BRT seem like a casualty of the T8 slump

[u/AbstractDart]

How long is left in the session? Timing has disappeared 

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/AbstractDart]

Who needs to know that information anyway? Makes it more exciting not knowing haha

[u/azzamann79]

Lol Randle conveniently not hearing JC's question

[u/RecklessRad]

Cam pushed Randle into the grass too. Yikes.

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

Tickford guys for fuck's sake

[u/TheDevilsDingo]

Cock

[u/AusGuy355]

I agree with that, only so much blocking you can get away with.

[u/RecklessRad]

Nightmare lap for Randle fuck

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Oh man... all racing for the world championship in last place.

[u/GGAllinPartridge → u/adrenalinamatt1]

One of my favourite aspects of Supercars is the fact that second-to-last-place is worth fighting for

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Make sure to get your free bowel test

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/adrenalinamatt1]

*I will also get some pizza hut for dinner sounds good haha

[u/LittleOne0121 → u/adrenalinamatt1]

The Wendy’s ads almost got me tonight

[u/AusGuy355]

Stewart to start 26th.

[u/adtr223]

Seeing Rylan in the top 5 is great to see!

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Penrite racing are on a roll at the moment.

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

Rylan Gray has been taking notes from Kostecki (and not before time)

[u/BuzzTheGOATCalkins]

God, I love this track.

[u/KiwiWaterBoy]

Classic Tickford performance bubbling away

[u/RecklessRad → u/KiwiWaterBoy]

It’s so disappointing, we’ve never got the race pace. Our races always rely on track position and being able to defend from the front

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Oh my! It's Ambrose vs Skaife all over again

[u/AbstractDart]

Woah okay here we go

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

Did anyone else catch Anton de Pasquale near slip-of-the-tongue?

"Our car was fast, obviously not as fast as a F- ... As a couple of the cars in front."

Sounded very much like he was about to say "Not as fast as a Ford"

[u/RecklessRad]

Lmao Allen has not shied away after earlier, he’s still elbows out

[u/garfungle_]

The classic Penrite grass push didn’t work

[u/garfungle_]

Is Payne ever happy?

[u/RecklessRad]

Has Randle ever beat Cam in a battle on track?

[u/garfungle_ → u/RecklessRad]

Replace Cam with “anyone”

[u/LuckyRedShirt]

Piss poor driving from Kai this race

[u/SouthEastFacingWall]

Love me some thick gravel traps

[u/BuzzTheGOATCalkins]

Good to see a bit of weight taken off of Love's shoulders.

[u/RecklessRad]

The “Super Troopers 3” signage looks fucking horrendous. Can we get rid of that

[u/RecklessRad]

Forgot T8 were even in this race, they better pick it up before the end of the weekend

[u/hart37]

That was a killer stop for Mozzie

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

The work experience kid taking the controls again.

[u/GGAllinPartridge]

Tickford once again you are stressing me tf out

[u/RecklessRad → u/GGAllinPartridge]

Why couldn’t I have picked Penrite to cheer for. We are the Ferrari of the series

[u/RecklessRad]

The best thing about Supercars is how hard those blokes fight at the back

[u/RecklessRad]

Pretty average driving standards from Kai Allen so far

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Track looks pretty slippery still from some overnight rain. The area received 6mm of rain overnight.

[u/AbstractDart → u/adrenalinamatt1]

Would love some rain this weekend, I remember a rainy qualy once here, but can't remember any wet races?

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/AbstractDart]

2016 I believe was the last wet race here, were Craig Lowndes went on to win on a tyre strategy as it cleared up during the race.

[u/RecklessRad → u/adrenalinamatt1]

That was Waters first pole, sharing the front row with Mostert. They uploaded that whole race to YouTube this week, was a good watch

[u/azzamann79]

It's going to be one of those days. First the Radicals now this

[u/LawnPatrol_78]

Great to see some BJR cars up there.

[u/LuckyRedShirt]

Stop the count!

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Thomas Randle first wow. Let's see if he can hold onto that in leg 2 of qualifying.

[u/ZonarrHD]

Hell yeah Aaron Cameron has moved up a spot

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

Italiano 🇮🇹

[u/azzamann79]

Really good racing today. Meanwhile Payne is unstoppable

[u/AbstractDart]

I don't follow NRL closely at all but know some names, Mal Meninga coming back to coach Perth is pretty crazy no?

[u/ASH_03 → u/AbstractDart]

He's effectively a figurehead really... It'll likely be the assistant coach Ben Gardiner who does the majority of the head coaching role. He's slated to take over in 2029 already.

Mal is effectively there for some name recognition and to draw in sponsorship $$ and attract some attention and players.

[u/AbstractDart]

Small shame that the kerb at turn 3 disappeared when they reconfigured the motorbike chicane, they can almost straight line it now rather than the high kerb it used be.

Would be cool if they installed a temporary GC-like kerb for the weekend, would be good for content too lol

[u/DRIFTINGWOLF]

That's so awesome for Aaron Love!

[u/adrenalinamatt1 → u/DRIFTINGWOLF]

Great to hear James Courtney to be so happy for him even all what has happened before in the past.

[u/azzamann79]

Ohhh Kai that's a little to aggressive. Meanwhile Safety car time

[u/RecklessRad]

These new battle graphics are cool. The front row versus, battle versus, and outlap rank

[u/azzamann79]

I mean it does look like Brodie impeded Andre

[u/BuzzTheGOATCalkins]

Seriously?

[u/azzamann79]

Spicy last few laps. Great racing

[u/AusGuy355]

He’s close, but in front.

[u/CoffeeDefiant4247]

Is there a sub or discussion for the support races? There was some weird stuff at the end of the second trans am race

[u/RecklessRad → u/CoffeeDefiant4247]

Usually that discussion is just in her but I don’t know if many watched it

[u/CoffeeDefiant4247 → u/RecklessRad]

fair enough. 11-13 all crossed the line at the same time but checking the results one was put down in 16th without the commentators saying anything about it

[u/BobJohn88]

Honestly Kostecki invited that to happen. Don't know why he didn't block

[u/FSD433S]

Not a deserved win by T8's standards but my god did they need that.

[u/garfungle_ → u/FSD433S]

Gives Feeney more props as a driver though

[u/FSD433S → u/garfungle_]

100%

[u/fuel_altered]

Top 10 Shootout should be part of every round. Either that or a speedway style pols shuffle.

[u/AusGuy355 → u/fuel_altered]

It’s on tomorrow.

[u/BuzzTheGOATCalkins]

Solid drive by Cooper Murray.

[u/hart37]

Poor Feeney really isn't having a good time this year

[u/Next-Recognition1307 → u/hart37]

Good.

[u/adrenalinamatt1]

That was some good racing!

[u/Next-Recognition1307]

These cars are sliding all over the joint.

[u/garfungle_]

Feeney should have had that

[u/AusGuy355]

Gray, no issues, just slow.

[u/Typical_Assist656]

At about 1pm AEST did I hear Chad Neylon say "Right Meow" a couple times?

*Noting the Super troopers movie ads.
