Time for the top end tango... or is that tangle...

Quite a few bent/slow/rebuild-ready cars from the Darwin event.

Who will show what they are made of in sunny Townsville?

I'd go out on a limb with a longshot and predict a Mustang win in both races.

The Triple Eight cars are typically strong here.

They seem to be recovering some form, so I'd expect them to cause some bother to the regular protagonists.

You don't know what improvements they'll allow for the commodores yet, it's round by round ongoing process isn't it?

The more parity they introduce the faster the Mustangs seem to go.

The Walkinshaw cars are usually pretty good during this event. Shall be interesting to see Courtney and Pye in the pointy end of the field for a change.

They're a bit further back than they have been in previous years.

If you're talking about him possibly being shuffled out, given the devout love the sponsor has for him, I'd doubt it.

You got to remember, there's love and lust, and eventually you end up working out which one it is and move on....

I will say, even I'm surprised at the pace of GRM this year. Normally they're on the money, so how much is car and how much driver/drivers??

Wonder if Tander has been on the phone to Gary?

So does Caruso try and break his Tickford co-drive and take up the GRM seat for the rest of the year, in the hope of a fulltime gig next year. Or stick to his co-drive role in a competitive car?

Tander would have been a better option, but probably too much blood on the floor. And would be hugely embarrassing if he broke GRM's top 10 duck.

Presumably there is a limit of 'fill ins' a co-driver can make before he becomes classified as a full-time driver and therefore unable to be entered as a co-driver. Maybe Chris Pither has reached the limit?

If you believe the articles, that very same communication happened twice before, still necessitating Mr Pither’s presence..

Is anyone able to verify the rumblings that this is the last time Supercars will visit Townsville?

It would be a terrible shame if true.
