Don't worry... times will definitely close up.
First time for pretty much all these guys on track, and the track will still be very green, so no point in taking risks. Even if times aren't close in P2, they will be in qualifying. You never know who's doing what with tires, co drivers etc. |

#48 GB Galvanizing Lambo has been withdrawn after contact at Turn four earlier today
One of the cars I was really looking forward to seeing... |

Ivan was a star in F1 during the late 1980s but it all went wrong for him and his year at Ferrari finished him off at the top level. |

Well, I've been at the track since 11:00 this morning, until near the end of the three hour race. What a meeting!! Huge crowds, great racing. Will chuck a few images up tonight.

Look forward to seeing the photos. Can anyone tell me if we are getting to see any of the racing on our tv in the near future? Sorry if this has already been mentioned but didn`t see it at a quick glance. Thanks.

Speedcafe has also posted up a set of brief highlights of yesterdays racing which is well worth a watch, looks like there was a respectable crowd there:

Can the Aussie GTs do two rounds in NZ, next year and run Hampton Downs the following weekend?

Looks like a helluva lot of concrete close to the track? What are the run offs like?
Bit of fairy tale with Quinn winning the the race. |

A bit of bad luck for the other Quinn in todays race - Baird hit a Seat and crunched three corners, apparently he broke both the front brake rotors, so must have been a pretty big hit! |

My very first comment about that circuit was that I didn't like that tunnel...

Seems like the Seat wasn't aware of what was happening around him, and giving racing room to the faster cars coming through??
There was a massive speed difference there, kinda begs the question what a GT3 Porsche and a stock as a block Seat shopping car are doing in the same race? What ever happened to the old 107% qualifying time? Last edited by JAFA851; 13 Nov 2013 at 12:45. Reason: 107% |

The onboard gives the impression he got two wheels on the grass on the right which spat him back across the track, unless there was contact with the Seat which we can't see. |

107% only applies in some classes. If it was applied to all classes, there'd be far too many tiny grids; there'd be no racing as entry fees would be too high; zero spectators.
Motorsport is less attractive the fewer cars there are on the grid and for my money, Bathurst in days of old,was probably the best race anywhere in the world - until they effectively eliminated "wombats in billy carts" to quote DJ. |
