Thread: Sandown 500

Then again it could be to hide another problem. A torana was retired from a race due to electronic problems. The number 5 piston had exited the block and taken out the dissy.

Spot on mate that should not happen at all,the full story is his pit controller told him to go but the fuel hose was still attached and they made stop so i guess that's what caused it to lock onto the car.Even after they removed the hose from the coupling the coupling was still stuck to the car.

Whincup and Dumbrell made that look very easy well done to them.Sends a bit of a message to rest of the field with Bathurst coming up.Wow Lee holdsworth smash looked very nasty lots of work for team to fix.

I feel Mchlaughlin's car getting held up in the pits was absolutely a load of ****.But that is racing i guess.The bottle-o car looked like it had some good pace,same for the FPR cars.

GREAT race, enjoyed every second of it.
Jamie won, BRILLIANT 1000% perfect performance all weekend.
BUT, only 3-4 seconds in front of HRT at the end of 161 laps, NOT a dominating victory by any stretch of the imagination,...just shows that HRT under Burgess are catching,...rapidly.
HRT have some other upgrades,...Bathurst is different, very different, there's ALWAYS an element of luck there,...who will win, NOBODY knows!
But what I do know is that I'm really looking forward to Bathurst, which is shaping up to be again, "THE GREAT RACE".
