aka the best loving day of the year

Go cars 12, 17, 111 or really anyone but Whincup.

edit: already tired of the over exposure for the team who have been last or second last in every single session and are a complete irrelevance for the race.

Oh boy, the Simona fans on the board are gonna get maaaaaaad

It says a lot that she's signed a deal with the SERIES to race for next year, and not a team.

She dumped it in the sand immediately after getting some pace in qualifying

Is there an official Bathurst 1000 international stream this year?

Simona's times are juuust about hanging on to the back of the field, the real problem is her co-driver is about 2 seconds per lap unhinged from second last.

Only through SuperView as far as I know.

Is the superview website down for anyone else?

That's a tiny grid. I remember old Bathurst grids that would go around Murray's corner

I'm in #f1 but there's no chatter about the race in there either.

Oh god Gracie is starting in the SuperGirls car. Hope she doesn't bin it this time.

Gap between her and second last runner is expanding by about 2.5 seconds per lap.

edit: surely if they wanted someone credible and popular to partner Simona they could've thrown money at Steve Johnson or somebody.

First Formula E practice is live. We've got questionable yellow flags, bad radios, and strange tire degradation galore!

I'm thinking about making a Formula E thread, because I really liked it last season, and it's a very accessible league (on Fox Sports here in the US, plus Youtube streaming for practices and such, plus those great race recap videos).

Not quite sure how Lowndes' car suffered the gear-shift linkage breaking *right near the driver* but dang. What a strange, cruel thing to suffer from in an endurance race.

I'd be cool with Jono Webb winning, not such a fan of Davison though.
