I reckon 18 is a good number. Room for all the American races Aerond is so desperate to have and for actual good tracks

Most sought after seat on the grid goes to a pay driver . Normally Garry is quite good with driver decisions when left to his own devices (as long as we don't mention Andrew Jones ), but this is just awful. And to think, this idiot has any seat at all and Scotty Pye will probably miss out. On the o...

Nope, it's actually 6 points between 1st and 2nd, so if you mean by 1 position or 1 second, you re good

No, Miguel's right. The Chase contenders didn't get any bonus points to ensure it was just based on finishing position, so Harvick only won by a point.

So, if an AFL game can force an actual race to be postponed a bit, why can't they move a test session again?

2017 Round of Australia Race 2 Don't make the same mistake tommy did.

BUMP!

How to lose races, by Garry Rogers Motorsport

1. Put the co-driver in the car while everyone else has main drivers
2. Do so out of sequence so the main drivers are on fresh tyres
3. Get screwed by safety car 5 laps before he can get out

Can't be that difficult, can it? :/

The plot thickens.
And promptly thickens even further.

So basically, V8SC is trying to screw over LDM, and judging by the second article it's because the Archer want to buy the teams out of their shares. It's just a matter of time before it all collapses in on itself
