V8 Supercars 2016

Jamie Whincup is away to a flier this season, taking race 1 at Clipsal after starting on P2 on the grid. Race 2 underway now.

Great duel between Courtney & Wincup

Aye, cracking stuff.

Courtney just holds off Whincup in a fantastic duel.

What's Whincup's nickname? Two Girls?

Awesome wet weather driving from Lowndes to go from 17th to first. More rain coming at Adelaide.

Absolutely pissing down. Turns the race into a raffle.

BOM showing storm heading south quickly. I reckon they'll restart soon.

Restart in 5 minutes.

And away they go again. Radar looks OK for next 20 minutes or so.

Nick Percat wins after getting the full 140 litre requirement done.

Sounds like many of the drivers did'nt have a clue what was happening, regarding the rules.

Bad luck for van Gisbergen hitting an oil slick with only a couple of laps to go. Allowed Will Davison to sneak past & win. Probably divine justice after copping an undeserved penalty to rob him of pole position.

Did they work out who dumped the oil?

It was the car immediately in front of Giz & Frosty. Not sure who the driver was.

Cheers Mr Dog.

Dick Dastardly or Muttley?

Caruso gets 2nd V8 win in Darwin.

Whincup secures pole for the first Enduro. Should be a cracking day at Sandown today. There's rain in the forecast, which always makes things interesting.

Good race. Garth Tander hung on with body panels hanging off to win an eventful wet weather race.

The Giz has pole for race 1 of the final round. He only needs 2 16th places to secure the championship.

After an awful start and a pit lane drive through penalty for turning Frosty around, the Giz was last. But a tenacious drive and a Safety Car got him back to 9th, before he then mowed down all before him to finish 3rd and take the Driver's Championship. Whincup now can't catch him tomorrow.

Well done to the young Snoozer.

Looks like I didn't start a 2017 thread.  

Congrats to young Cam Waters on his maiden V8 Supercar victory at Sandown today.

Ferkin Fords finished 1-2-3. Holdens looking wobbly leading into Bathurst.
