I'm not fussed on which car lately, just which drivers. But I'd go with Holden.

Shall be an awesome race! It's just fantastic. :D

Well it won't be TKR, they're out again.

As much as I like the idea of an all kiwi team, I think its just got a little bit too ridiculous.

Go the Holdens!

TKR pit coms are probably a fire and a blanket :lol:

In that long one they suggest this might see the introduction of in-car lights warning of a safety on that sector like they have in Nascar (I think it was). Probably a pretty good idea

They said that pither was on a flying lap, didn't mention whether the other cars were on slow laps or what. Maybe Pither was taking a line similar to Weel's car and would have crashed anyway whereas the others were on a more conservative line. Who knows.

To say 'unacceptable' as those comentators did when you arrive on a scene at 150clicks with a yellow flag 100m in the distance wtf are you going to do?

Yeouch... Imagine if he'd hit a bit more forward of the car! Could have been fatal!
