Dale Wood had a great return to the Development Series. Lost it on cold tires in the chicane and hit the wall. Very similar accident to Jason Bright last year but Wood tore the nose off and parked the car in the turn 4 runoff when an oil fire started (it self extinguished).

And there's no point showing the Tekno cars; they're both plain white with no sponsor on them.

one of the aus gt ferrari 458's had a bingle at some point too. Had a tarp covering it in the paddock, but a little sneaky peek revealed a fair amount of front end damage. I must say, jim richards amc javelin looks and sounds absolutely superb. Can't personally report to much from on track stuff, spent most of my time wandering the paddocks and merchandise areas

I missed practice 1 due to shocking traffic. 22km in 75 minutes. 2 red flags, Bright in the gravel at Turn 10 and Premature stranded down an escape road not able to get reverse. Reynolds fastest from Webb

Dunlop Series. Currently underway. Red flag due to Elliot Barbour spinning and hitting the wall out of Turn 7 and someone bogging it in the gravel at Turn 10. Barbour is the driver who got airborne in the formula Ford race last year.

Practice 3: Started well with Moffat passing a line of cars entering the final hairpin, Webb took exception with this lack of patience and dumped Moffat in the turn.

james brock almost put his sls in the fence at turn 3 in gt qualy. One of the porsches tripped over a ferrari, probably not seeing the yellows for brocks spin and backed into the fence. V8 qualy starting right now

Red flag out 6 minutes in for Reindler stuck down the turn 4 escape road. Whincup fastest from Winterbottom and Webb at the moment

Red flag #2 for Bright in the gravel at turn 10. Patrizi also left some of his front end at turn one being a bit aggressive with the tyre bundle. W. Davison fastest, from Lowndes, Winterbottom, Whincup and van Gisbergen with about 8 minutes left

Also Tim Slade very impressive.
