Given the right circumstances, Symmons can produce great racing as shown below

Oh I mean from a driving perspective more than anything, I just never enjoyed it (on racing games) and I have to admit the last couple of years were a little lackluster unless my memory is shit (which it is) in which case if last year was epic then I love this track!!

/sneaks away.

The chances of Pukekohe returning to the series are pretty much nil, the owners of the track prefer horses and as such the track is slowly running into a state of disrepair, and with Hampton Downs which is brand new and just down the road it'd make sense if it went anywhere it'd go there.

Todays race was fairly boring.

For soft tyre race standards, it was. But it certainly wasn't the worst race I've seen.

Oh, and Greg Murphy finished 3rd today. Not bad for a driver who apparently sucks...

This race is going to be in the wet! should be plenty of carnage. Was an awesome slow mo of lowndes spinning in the wet, hope I can find it online

Oh, and great headline on the Speedcafe website btw:

Great start, Winterbottom gets into Bright trying to pass them but they both stay on track, Lowndes passes both, then Winterbottom squeezes by Lowndes again.

Lowndes with gearbox problems.

Did i hear correctly that Tander recieved a 2 grid spot penalty for using the 'handbrake' to stop his car running into the gravel at the hairpin during qualifying, wtf

Courtney gets a drivethrough penalty for passing Whincup with the slightest of contact. What a bunch of shit. V8 Supercars, meet DTM.

Edit: Check that, penalty was for an earlier incident with Holdsworth, didn't see that one.

Winterbottom wins over Dumbrell and Bright, Courtney ends up extending his championship lead over Whincup slightly. Pretty good race.

Jason Bright had a big crash when his brakes failed on the main straight and nearly rolled over the fence in the gravel trap at turn 1

Shit thats a fair effort seeing theres a fairly big run off area there. Lucky it didnt happen at dandy rd corner.

Tanders just had a huge crash at the fast chicane.

Just saw qualy 1 on the idiot box. Whincup was very impressive.

And it was the second time in two race weekends that Caruso went off.

[spoiler]Dumbrell wins[/spoiler]

Well done to him. He definetely won't retire now.

I remember back around 2002 he was touted as the next big thing. Seems only recently that he's started to live up to expectations.

http://justin.tv/sportsfirststreams is the stream for V8 Supercars. Its on now.

Oh it was Larry Perkins. Perkins signed him to drive at Bathurst in 2002 and Larry and the commentators were going on about him being a great driver. He was pretty sucessful in the development series. Speaking of which, how many drivers have become successful in the Development series and become reguarly succesful in the main game? Only Winterbottom comes to mind. Canto, Owen, D'Alberto, and there must be a few others haven't been that succesful.

[spoiler]V8 live timing says there's a red flag out. Who's crashed?[/spoiler]
