Except that Waters was the only guy off the track at that time...

Nope

 

[Jatz]

Lap 3 to be precise.

 

[Jatz]

Nope

Yes, he was. Watch it again mate, it's absolutely undeniable.

He wasnt the only one, thats utter nonsense

When he passed the car on lap 3, he was the only car outside of track limits.

Yes plenty of others went wide there through the race but they didn't overtake by going wide while passing a car that had stayed within track limits on that lap.

Congratulations to Cameron Hill for his win in Race 5 today, it is his first win in Supercars, and I think it may be the first win by a Canberran in the ATCC/Supercars.

MSR have come from nowhere

Yeah, a 1-2 for MSR in Race 5, and Cam Hill also had a 3rd in Race 4. It's nice to see one of the smaller teams have some success, I hope they can maintain it for the season.

MSR were strong at the AGP last year, Percat had a win so it hasn't come from nowhere as such.

PremiAir are the ones to watch. They've got half of the old T8 staff in the building and will become the homologation team for GM.

But it'll absolutely get harder for them with T8 going.

I didn’t watch much but they were down the back weren’t they?

Golding was midfield, Stanaway is a dud TBH.

But they'll get a big cash injection from GM, and Roland Dane is there as a consultant. Also, if you know much about Pete Xiberras he's not shy in going and getting what he wants. Different form of Motorsport but the guy has dominated Drag Racing for years.

Good to see a different team up there but it was 6 green flag laps.

 

[Cromulant]

Interesting that they pulled up Ryan Wood for binning LeBroq

Few of those got let go yesterday

Its nuts how track specific these cars are.

Chev teams (outside of T8) may as well not have turned up at SMP, this week..... the complete opposite.

Very strange.

Even weirder - last year Albert Park was a Mustang track. T8 took home the cookies, but only because the Mustang drivers ahead of them took each other out repeatedly. This year it's a Chevy track. Go figure!

Have lost a fair bit of interest in supercars, but watched some of NASCAR at COTA this morning and it might be just me but they seem so unprofessional compared to supercars.
The driving position looks awkward as hell, multiple wheel nuts, the timing totem pole is updated by a carrier pigeon, the cars seem to be off the track half the time cutting corners (all four wheels over the ripple strips) the cars look more “plasticy”

The commercials. My god the commercials.

So Ryan Wood shared the in car footage of his Friday accident with JLB, with SVG.

He then shared it with Scotty Mac and the guys from the Apex Hunters pod (Scott Pye and Elliot Barbour). The latter then received an email from Supercars who said they would fine or even suspend Ryan Wood, so they took it down.

Talk about a precious lot.

Looks like it’ll be wet, should get 2 green flag laps in.

So... no different to the dry races over the last 3 days?

EDIT: My bad, we got 3 green laps in during the dry.

I over estimated.
