Nick Heidfeld will drive with David Reynolds on the Gold Coast.

Despite this being my favourite car in the field (due to its livery, and despite the fact I'm usually a Holden man), I'm bored already.

Go home David Reynolds.

Whatever you might think of Jacques Villeneuve, this special livery he's got for the Townsville round is awesome:

Ahh, finally a reason to watch V8 Supercars!

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 05 Jul 2012, 23:04

I really think that car looks awesome.

Bored? I honestly have no idea why?

David Reynolds is a massive James Allen. Just saying.

You feel this way about Reynolds, and I haven't heard you say much about Davison despite him leaving a year earlier and having actually acheived something in a Holden.

If I remember correctly Davison wasn't under contract, Reynolds was.

The only people on the planet who thought Reynolds still had a contract were the Kelly boys :lol:

I distinctly remember him saying in August last year that he had a contract for two years, finishing at the end of 2012. And besides, he said in another interview that the reason he left is that he "got a better offer". :roll:

Given the option between driving for the Kellys and any Ford team you name, I'd take the Ford.

Except DJR.

Frankly, who wouldn't. Seriously, the Kellys have got the two biggest egos in the paddock. Why else would they have their own reality TV show? :lol:

Ostensibly, it was to find Australia's Next Top Racing Driver. By sheer crazy random happenstance, it also happened to show just how awesome the Kellys were.

Given the way they treated Reynolds, it's pretty obvious they picked Waters as the winner early on so that they could control his career.

I'm proud of Villeneuve, he lasted almost three whole practice sessions before sticking it in a wall :lol:

Dear HWNSNBM Jacques, you really are useless :lol:

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 06 Jul 2012, 07:15

Now, how many laps will it take him to crash in the first race? :lol:

Captain Hammer · Post by **Captain Hammer** » 06 Jul 2012, 08:05

Wait, that's Jacques Villeneuve?

I thought it was Sinead O'Connor.

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you shaved your hair away
You hardly finished a race in 1999
which took your credibility away.
Since you've been gone the paddock jumps for joy
And they don't want you back.

'Cause everyone doesn't care
No one cares for your opinion....

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 07 Jul 2012, 04:30

And the Canadian qualifies... last. Way slower than everyone else. Come on Jacques, Premat got up to speed faster, and he hadn't even driven the car before!

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 05:09

Frosty/Reynolds front row with Whincup third? BORING!

Villeneuve better cause some chaos when he inevitably gets lapped after 15 minutes and start taking people out :lol:

It's a shame Reynolds just got knocked off, I wanted to see your reaction :lol:

And Melrose, you know I like to see the shootout before someone spoils it! You're lucky I only looked at this when Frosty crossed the line...

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 05:40

D'Alberto ahead of the Vodafone cars (for three corners)? What is this?

SC deployed. Nice work Taz

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 05:44

Yes, you did just we a DJR overtake a Vodafone car. Granted, Owen is on the softs and will probably end up dropping down the field as the race goes on.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 05:59

How the hell did Davidson do that? He's leapfrogged the lot of the in one lap :shock:

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 06:05

And Villeneuve's out with an oil leak

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 06:22

Big off for the Giz.

SC out again but that's because Premat's stranded somewhere in a runoff area

EDIT: Turns out that the idiot was responsible for the Giz's high speed off and followed him into the turn 2 runoff area

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 06:30

Paul Morris may have found a hole in the rule books... Dear god help us all

And Bright's absolutely drilled the back of the other GRM car. SC deployed yet again

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 07 Jul 2012, 06:32

Paul Morris is quite possible the only uninteresting person involved in V8 Supercars in interviews.

Except for Roland Dane.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Jul 2012, 06:34

Before that SC, Lowndes and Davo were at the back end of the top 5. Now, they're at the back of the field through no fault of their own.

I reckon that at a track ike Townsville where a safety car is a given, it's worth the gamble to stay out. And as I say that, Lowndesy comes straight back in.

Now that Roland reminds me, what is it with Townsville and loopholes in the tyre regulations? :lol:

Tim Slade's gone back to his crash-happy alter ego of pre-2011 :lol:

And after all that, Courtney's now in a position to win something for the first time in about two thousand years :lol:
