Would love to mate but I've gotta work tomorrow. You heading up to Winton Saturday?

Due to financial challenges I won't be able to run. I'll still come and spectate though.

Dammit, I'm kinda broke atm, so I won't be able to run. Will still come as a spectator though.

I'm hoping to be there but I need to find out why the bank took so much of my paycheck this week and if they'll let me have it back. For those who don't know (I had to look it up) the meet point is in Epping, I believe. Helpful for those with GPSs.

That's mad.

Want a GTR to add a cherry to the cake? I can help

I think I'll be able to pick you charli Should be up for the cruise too. If I don't have some reason to get up early I won't get there 'til lunchtime.

It was actually 80 metres according to RBRs telemetry (biased perhaps but it certainly looked like he braked early). At that speed you have no time to react. I don't think Webber was drafting, at least not near the end, I think he was trying to get around Kovi who was weaving to block Webber. Quite frankly Kovi should have behaved as though he was being lapped. Losing the place was inevitable, even had they not collided trying to keep Webber behind was just going to cost him time.

That Kobayashi has a future I think. Best Japanese driver we've seen since ... ever. Man, I remember that Christian Fittipaldi crash. Felt so old when I realised it was 1993 though, it only seems like a few years ago.

Haha, us lackeys don't have access to that sort of thing. So cut that he paid by card at the pump, I would have talked his ear off if he'd come in.

I seem to recall several instances of Webber overtaking before. Kovalainen braked 80 metres earlier than he was supposed to. Naturally Webber wasn't expecting him to stop in front of him so early before the corner. I'm sure you're aware of how quickly F1 cars can stop, if the guy in front of you brakes when you don't expect him to you have no time to react. I'm not saying Webber didn't play a role in the crash, I would say drafting him that way was probably unnecessary given that he would have got past Kovalainen soon enough anyway, but he was racing. I'm not surprised he didn't expect Kovalainen to stop so far from the corner.

Saw an R35 myself at my servo today, plates XDO*** or something. Looked a bit different at the front, like it had a different front bar or something.

Damn Vetool. Your day will come!

Kobayashi FTW!

Haha, gratuitous Nicole Scherzinger shot

I would laugh a great deal if half the field got disqualified.

Lol

I hate to say it but I think that prang was about 50/50 ... Kovi swerved defending a position he could never gave held, but Webber was right on his arse when he didn't need to be. Kovi seemed to brake quite early though.

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?

SKYGAL on Springvale rd after 8, and TV**** further down.

I hope Vetool crashes into a wall and wets his pants like the little girl he is.

Anything can fly if you hit a ramp hard enough ... I'd like the see it handle the 'Ring though. $20 says it couldn't do a sub-11 min lap without breaking something.

RBR front row. Could make for an interesting turn one ... I hope Webber has his the sphincter of the universe-spec fenders on.

OMG. Schumi P15. I don't know how long he will be able to cope with such poor form. I don't see him starting next season they way things are going.

Wow, the unbiased debate lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. Honestly, I think it will be between Vetool, Webber and Hamo again. The order probably depends on firstly qualifying, and secondly the quality of Vetool's driving braking steering ... wait, I'll get this ... handling?
