The big surprise is that Frosty is now leading the championship.

It was like this last year too...

Mr van Gisbergen showed what happens when the tyres go off the cliff, total oversteer time!

Looks like 888 has some challenges (for once) with the main game cars not looking good, and the Dunlop series cars also not loving the circuit.

Not surprising, just awesome

Mr Penske keeps saying the right things, but you cant help but wonder when at some point a change might occur. For all that testing, and the proclamation of improvement, not a lit seems to have changed on-track, results-wise anyway

But this year he has come from behind to take the lead. That didn't happen last year, did it?

Begs the question again as to whether those making the strategic calls on #17, have an actual understanding of the game at play?

Saving tyres for testing

Jam3s · 2 May 2015, 14:56 (Ref:3533035)

They have some very clever people in the strategic department, I doubt they are losing out there. They just don't have the car pace and that points to car setup rather than strategy.

**GTRMagic** · 3 May 2015, 04:18 (Ref:3533374)

3 rolls/wrecks in under 12 months...

Not good.

Mixer · 3 May 2015, 04:27 (Ref:3533375)

That red flag for Fabs was ridiculous.

Tim Trigger-Finger Schenken up to his old tricks again?

One of his best yet.

Creates some interest from strategy choices from the back of the grid presumably...

agreed,

however, the offset is that all these guys would have been on hot laps and would have had to back out due to there being yellow flags on the track

It was certainly like that in the dunlop race, cars from the back were finishing near the front.

However, soft tyres in play here also. imagine they wont last as long in tassie

and hards may not have a full race distance in them either

**GTRMagic** · 3 May 2015, 08:02 (Ref:3533469)

Winner for Erebus!

Mr Davison kept the soft tyres alive longer.

Congratulations to the team

peckstar · 3 May 2015, 08:04 (Ref:3533470)

Unfortunate SC for PRA/FPR

But good win for Will and Erebus

of Course Erebus caused the SC

Umai Naa · 3 May 2015, 08:33 (Ref:3533493)

Great drive by Wilbur, congrats to Erebus.

Poor strategy calls from PRA when it mattered.

Lowndes seemed to have torched the tyres running down the Pepsi cars, and Whincup uncharacteristically wasn't able to recover from an early-race boo-boo.

Solid effort from Fab.

SvG wasn't able to capitalise on supposedly good rubber, meaning yesterday's race 2 was a complete waste of time.

Pye apparently had good rubber to play with as well, but the radio chatter suggested a braking issue (another component to switch out for one of PRA's design?), which unfortunately took out Mr Heimgartner.

What would you have had them do considering they made the choice to start on Softs?

Umai Naa · 3 May 2015, 09:34 (Ref:3533523)

Not start on softs.

would have been the right move if not for the SC

I think it was not start both cars on Softs
