I suppose if CL or GT are not available, Renee Gracie could get a late callup from RD

They (RBAR) are saying they have a Plan B that they dont expect to have to use. Tander is mentioned in the article .https://www.speedcafe.com/2021/03/08...l-svgs-season/
Personally having had a collar bone injury, the very last thing I would have wanted two weeks after surgery would have beeen the stresses of shoulder straps of a racing harness fully tightened.... accompanied by the inevitable weight transfer loads from heavy braking and cornering. |

Bloody good effort by Mr van Gisbergen to ignore the pain and drive from the back to the front!
Even Mr Crompton & Mr Skaife thought he would do 2 laps and handover to Mr Tander.. He will be a very sore boy tonight... be interesting to see if tomorrow shows up another driving solution |

Bloody gutsy effort, Mr van Gisbergen!
If he wins tomorrow, they should put the number 1 sticker on the car. |

Well the early posts in this thread have aged well.
Great drive from SvG and an excellent race to watch. |

Great Supercar race supporting the S5000s.
Those tintops might just one day eclipse the openwheelers in popularity. |

Brilliant race and a great performance from SVG.
Weather may be about to turn though, so a bit of rain might make tomorrow interesting. |

And the Munted Mustang fans are everywhere crying PARITY
Not sure where they were all of last year. SVG looks to have championship winning good fortune and form, and it looks as if his 2 closest championship rivals look to have it in for each other. |

Last time a team and driver won this many races in a row there was cause for a parity adjustment. 🤷🏼*♂️

Did you watch anything AT ALL last year? Let me spell it out for you. Penske left the sport with his megabucks. Scotty Mac went to Indycar. DJR got 2 NEW DRIVERS. They are nowhere. Cameron Waters who finished second last year, and Chaz Mostert look like the real fast rising stars, but BOTH of them this year have had mechanical failures, both teams have thrown away races with mystifyingly bad pit calls, and these two KEEP CRASHING INTO EACH OTHER. Literally if you are calling for a parity adjustment now do us all a favor. 1. Dig a hole in the ground 2. Put your head in it 3. Fill it in with dirt |

If you take SvG out of the equation, the parity is pretty good.

All things aside, you have to hand it to SVG, Anyone racing with the broken collarbone and to win 3 races is exceptional and NOT expected

Why should Waters have to drive twice as hard as van Gisbergen, to have half the chance!? It's utterly absurd. Last edited by V8 Fireworks; 21 Mar 2021 at 15:13. |
