    Supercars.....Newcastle.

    This vent is looking good. Last round of the series, either Scotty or Jamie can win, only 30 points separating them!
    Organizers appear to have done a great job at this location,...great views, spectacular over the harbour etc, and very good crowds,..couldn't be better IMHO,...Roger Penske is there.
    Only thing I would say is that the circuit appears to be tight, so the "taxi driving contingent" may have a few words to say as usual. In which regard, quali will be vitally important, and quali for race 1 is only 55mins away,..so I'm EXCITED!....so if ya're interested, & if ya're able,...watch quali at 11.00 am,....should be good.
    My prediction?....I reckon Scotty will get pole, but Jamie (I hope!) will win the race.
    Pickles.

    Well done Scotty, great drive in a great car.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    BIG supercars fan here, as some would know......and I remain so.
    However, for anyone who does not know the history, or the fight, for the current 2017 championship, then I could well understand the term "Taxi Racing",.....because todays race was not the best for me, once Jamie was ruled out......the race for thhe championship was at an end,......don't know if I'm making any sense, but it's just the way I feel at this stage of the championship.
    Hopefully tomorrow's race will have "ËXCITEMENT".

    whoever gets to the first turn first will win.
    Its a horrible track, looks great on TV, but no where to pass.

    I’m sure McLauchlan would rather win it due to his driving skill - not due to other drivers mechanical issues....

    They do need to toughen the cars up a bit. Too many out with bent or broken steering after relatively minor knocks.
    Bring back the days when they would finish races with the steering wheel 45deg off centre.
    1 small knock from a rival and someone's race and even championship is over.
