F1 Fanatic

Won a 4 day pass through work. So might go. Love the Australian GT cars.
Heard that from next year, they might even try having the Saturday race at night. That will be interesting! Not sure how they are going to set up all that lighting.
If they pull it off, bring the dam F1 back!!!!!

Grid for tomorrow’s race:

Lowndes on pole, ahead of Tander, Davison and Webb (in the V8 rental car). Whincup fifth.

@andrewtanner – The only international braodcast deal that I know of is with SPEED in the USA. They show all the races, but usually only a week after they have been run. I’m afraid I have no idea if you can watch it live in Europe, much less how you would go about doing it.

You’ve still got six hours until the race begins, so there’s still time. Maybe you’ll get lucky.

I feel as if they should rename the track “Adelaide, featuring Turn 8″. seriously, it’s a complete car killer!

been a good race though! there was a particularly hectic moment about 11 laps in with 6 cars battling

That was a bloody good drive by Whincup, really shows why he’s been champion for the three of the past four years.

As for streaming the races, the official website has a live stream of the Channel 7 broadcast, and it’s not location-restricted. I just watched the whole race here in Canada, quality is a bit dodgy for what they call a “high-quality” stream, but definitely watchable.

Watch here

It does ask you to register, but it’s quick and painless.

If there is one positive to take from Davison’s defeat, it’s the knowledge that FPR have finally managed to hit the ground running. Year after year, they take two or three rounds to get up to speed, and by the time they’re finally competitive, someone else – usually Whincup – has too big a points lead to reel in by the end of the season. But this year, they’ve been competitive out of the gate, and if David Reynolds had crashed out a few laps later than he did, they probably would have had a one-two finish. Hopefully both Davison and Winterbottom can fight for the title this year. Holden is just getting a little bit too comfortable out the front. I would dearly like to see that self-satisfied smirk wiped off Simon McNamara’s face.

This should be a cracking year, it’s great that the 8 best drivers, well, 8 or the 9 best drivers (Rick excluded) are in the 8 best cars and all have a genuine chance of the title. Whincup drove fantastically today but hopefully he doesn’t win another title this year. FPR look as strong as ever and so does Lowndes and Courtney will be more competitive this year. Should be a good race tomorrow.
