RSC23 R6 Townsville 500
Migrating to the tropical north once again, the Supercar circus arrives in Townsville.
Will NASCAR Shane give the boys a lesson on the street circuit? Will Ford get a victory in the tropical north? |

I'm not a fan of street circuits but it will be interesting to see if the Ford teams lift with the latest changes on board.......practice #1 starts at !0:10 Thursday I think.

When will 888 give Mr Van Gisbergen a new chassis?
Two events.. vibrations and wobbles still in place.. Odd.. |

Mr Van Gisbergen asks Mr Miller if he is comfortable.. Mr Miller replies in the affirmative, and Mr van Gisbergen states immediately “I’m not”… Hmmmm.. |

Commentators raving on how great it looks when Mostert is sliding the car, what uses up tyres fast? I don't remember Mostert ever being a great tyre conservationist, or Waters for that matter.

Out of curiosity - is this event called the 'Hot Topic Townsville 500', or has the thread been given both the title and tag of 'Hot Topic'?

Other than one Bathurst when was the last time he was P1 in last generation car?
He and Waters also whined non stop about how SVG could make tyres last. I don't know why the issues with tyre life have to be blamed in parity. |

I have never rated either Mostert or Waters, the latter may step up one day? I think Mostert is starting to get into the has been stage really. Young guys are coming through now, and this guy has never really put it together. I don't know his age, all I know is he's been around a longtime. I'm not rubbishing the guy, he can be as fast as anyone on his day, just doesn't have enough days. The Bathurst crash put him back.

To have any chance in today's race the Ford teams will have to go for a 3 stop strategy. . Last edited by bluesport; 9 Jul 2023 at 01:42. |

Interesting pit incident with Mr Slade’s crew.
SVG didn’t look like a happy camper, NASCAR in 2024? |

Mr Van Gisbergen went from the back to nearly the podium... some Camaros are pretty good...

Mostert out after only two laps of the race after hitting the wall hard in the TTS. Nothing to do with hitting the wall they say? Did they swap out the rack??? |

I was always a fan even when he was in a Ford, but he's just another ****** now. If he battled his ass off for 11th, he might have an argument, but he ragged the car up to 3rd on a slick track, and I think he is just complaining for no reason. |

Despite having a vastly superior tyre bank Anton was still under pressure in Race #17
to secure Ford's first win of the season against a gaggle of camaros headed by Kostecki and it appears that more aero adjustments need to be made to the Mustang to level playing field. |

The PremiAir mob dodged a potential monumental accident when they pushed Mr Slades car into the fast lane while Mr LeBrocq came in for his stop!
People and cars and equipment everywhere... WOW! Suspended fine probably the response |
