HRT, this is beyond embarrassing. The satellite team can take it to FPR and T8 so why can't you?

Villeneuve got spun on the first lap. Other then that, Will Davison was on pole, alongside his teammate Mark Winterbottom. Winterbottom got him at the start though. Craig Lowndes took the lead after a few laps, and stayed there, although Winterbottom was never that far away. Only other major drama was that Paul Dumbrell had a flat tire, a few laps in. Jamie Whincup was third, quite a way behind the winner, with Davison fourth. Russell Ingall, who was having his best weekend in a long time, came home 6th.

He has tonsillitis, and can't eat properly. That's why he struggled.

Go die in a hole Whincup.

In other news, only one of the three Walkinshaws qualified in the top 10. Anyone want to guess which one it was? :lol:

And there is a visual demonstration of just how bulletproof the Dunlop tyres are. If that was an Pirelli or a Bridgestone for that matter, it'd have blown up long before the finish on that T8 car :lol:

Which is why I prefer Dunlop, it's much, much more entertaining to watch Whincup struggle around with a tyre that ould go at any instant, than watching him go around with a tyre that's already in pieces.

Either way, it's highly satisfying for us because he's basically been a Karma Houdini since he joined T8 all those years ago so it's about time he had a race where everything went wrong :lol:

Hinchtown and Ricky Taylor are the second drivers at GRM.

A very good pair of drivers if I do say so, even if Taylor isn't that well known outside of Grand-Am. He is quite the prospect in US Sports Car racing, and this may be his international Big Break.

Hinchtown will have a ball racing in Aussie V8s.

Unless the Mayor gets paired up with Premat. He'd never touch the category with a 10ft pole again after that point :lol:

Although I do fear the monstrosity of a livery that'll come about with the signing of Go Daddy. :|
