00:00Of course, one of the big acts this weekend is, as usual, the V8 supercars.
00:04We all love them, and our main commentators are of course Mark Osler and Greg Rust.
00:09Woodsy, great to see your fan base back here on the streets of surface paradise too, by
00:12the way, but what is it about the streets of surface that the V8 guys love so much?
00:16I mean, there's a bit of prestige associated with winning the races here.
00:19It's not a championship round so much, but the drivers just love it, particularly the
00:22young guns.
00:23I like showing the kart teams just what they can do.
00:25Mark Osler, though, the main thing is to try and keep it off the walls around here.
00:28In some ways, it's a race of survival.
00:30It really is a race of survival, isn't it?
00:31When you think about Bathurst only being just over a month away, if you stick one of these
00:35cars into the wall here, it can throw your whole Bathurst race plan out of kilter.
00:39We've seen that a couple of times with Dick Johnson racing and a couple of other teams.
00:43They've had a crash damage here.
00:44They've spent the next three weeks trying to catch up.
00:46Really, even though it's a month to the race, it's effectively three weeks for these race
00:50teams, because the final week of that four-week period has been getting to Bathurst and setting
00:53up.
00:54So you've got to keep the car off the concrete walls here.
00:56One guy that really struggled in terms of that yesterday was Garth Tander.
00:59He is a non-starter in today's race.
01:01Had a crash very early in the first qualifying session yesterday, so he's a non-attendee.
01:05But looking at the good side of things, when you cast your mind back over the record books,
01:08Mark, the winners here on the Gold Coast in the past, it can be a turning point for their
01:11V8 supercar career.
01:12It really has thrown up a few surprises.
01:14Back in 1998, we saw Mark Larkham take his first ever V8 win.
01:17Last year, Paul Radisic broke through with a clean sweep for the Shell team.
01:21And in qualifying this weekend, Russell Ingle has taken his first pole position on the streets
01:26of Surfers Paradise.
01:27So we could have our third different winner in three years.
01:28Fantastic.
01:29Well, it was a scintillating battle yesterday in terms of the shootout for pole position.
01:32Let's take a look now at some of the highlights.
01:37Garth Tander's attempts to increase the kart teams came unstuck for the second year in a
01:42row.
01:43So bad was the damage, he won't be contesting this weekend's races.
01:46Stephen Richards kicked off the top ten shootout for pole.
01:49He pushed hard for the entire lap, but could only manage ten fastest.
01:53Big walk up there from Stephen Richards.
01:57Then it was Tony Longhurst's turn for a crack at the top spot.
02:01The Caltech's Haviland ford only two tenths faster than Richards, ending up ninth.
02:07Greg Murphy was penalised in practice for riding the kerbs too much.
02:11But that didn't deter the Kiwi.
02:13He was on maximum attack on the way to eighth fastest.
02:16Mark Larkham was the second of the Ford pilots on the track.
02:20The 1998 Gold Coast winner ended up fifth fastest, and could probably have gone even higher
02:25up.
02:26On the street.
02:27A lock up from Larkham.
02:29Steve Ellery is full of confidence following his victory in race two at Sandown last weekend.
02:34The Gold Coast driver finished sixth, despite not feeling the best.
02:38Stephen Ellery an outstanding job.
02:40Keep in mind this guy is still suffering from glandular fever.
02:43Free energy sapping condition.
02:45Then it was the enforcer's turn to hit the track.
02:48Russell Ingle has never been on pole at Indy, but that was all about to change.
02:53He's done it!
02:54Russell Ingle on pole!
02:55Eight tenths of a second!
02:56That's enormous!
02:58The new qualifying lap record was the benchmark for the remaining drivers.
03:02Frank Lowndes muscling his HRT Commodore onto the second row.
03:05Oh!
03:06Look how sideways he gets there!
03:08The Rats no longer racing up a drain pipe.
03:11His breakthrough win last weekend changed all that.
03:14And Morbadasic charged to second in the shootout.
03:17He's a guy with enormous experience.
03:18Look at him working that wheel.
03:20The car wiggles under brakes.
03:21He's giving it everything in the shell forward.
03:23Stephen Johnson was quick in practice and qualifying.
03:26Seventh place an indication his horrid run this season may be turning around.
03:31He hasn't had a great year.
03:33And, you know, there's been lots of doubts about what he's going to be doing next year.
03:38So, you know, this is only going to help him, isn't it?
03:41Markscape is renowned for being a qualifying expert,
03:44but his best was only good enough to join teammate Lowndes on row two.
03:48Paradise, he flashes over the line.
03:50Third fastest for skate.
03:51Russell Ingle takes his first.
03:53Yeah, Rusty!
03:57Outstanding performance for Russell Ingle and the Castrol Perkins team.
04:00And he will be well delighted with that.
04:03Yeah, we're very happy about that.
04:04It's a pretty hard track to get past.
04:06The starting on the front row is great, but look, yeah, it's great to get pole.
04:09Been a while between drinks to be on the front row.
04:11So, very happy and should be an interesting race.
04:14Yeah, very happy.
04:15I mean, it's always great to be on pole,
04:16but to miss it by a few tenths is no big deal.
04:19Particularly, you know, it's not a championship round.
04:21It's just a race, an all-out race.
04:23It's very hard to know exactly, like, not really where the edge is.
04:26You pick the edge up very easily in terms of driving it,
04:28but what time it's going to be.
04:29And I thought it might have been a late two, to be honest.
04:31It was a really good lap.
04:32And, you know, it was a couple of little mistakes, but not too much.
04:35How you doing, man?
04:36We're set for a tremendous V8 supercar race.
04:39After the break, we'll have all the action for you on your home of motorsport.
04:42You're watching the Honda ND300, and while the champ cars are downloading their data after this morning's vital practice session,
04:49that's taking place on the right of your screen in Pit Lane,
04:52the V8 supercars will be unloading some horsepower on the streets of Surfers Paradise.
04:58Let's go to your commentary team, Greg Rust, Mark Osler and Barry Sheen.
05:02Yes, the V8s are ready for the FAI Insurance Challenge, ten laps around the streets of Surfers Paradise.
05:13And as the cars wait for the start, passive moment here.
05:17Paul Radisic sitting on the front row alongside first-time poleman on the Gold Coast, Russell Engel.
05:23and as the cars wait for the start
05:25pensive moment here

05:28alongside first time pole man
05:30on the Gold Coast, Russell Engel
05:32fabulous sight there, big field of V8s
05:3430 cars in all
05:35That's great for Engel
05:38to get the pole, wouldn't it? Really nice change
05:40Fantastic, a real turnaround in Ford's
05:43Fortunes and V8 Supercar Racing
05:44Sandown Park a week ago
05:46clean sweep for the Falcon drivers
05:49and could we see a repeat
05:52at that form on the streets of Surfers Paradise
05:54Russell Engel on pole position
05:56153, 08
05:58Paul Radisic alongside
06:00then it's an all HRT second row

06:10Caterpillar
06:11in car camera
06:13we've got a lot of angles covered here for this action
06:1610 laps the distance
06:174.5km
06:19spectacular Surfers Paradise street course
06:22strong wind blowing across the track at the moment
06:24it's blown all that
06:25cloud and rain away
06:27so we've got beautiful fine conditions
06:28for the FAI Insurance Challenge
06:32The start of this is going to be interesting
06:34because you've got two real chargers
06:35haven't you
06:36in the shape of Radisic and Engel
06:38the first
06:38the first chicane's going to be good fun
06:41Oh well
06:41head up on their warm-up lap
06:43the man joining us in commentary this morning
06:45is none other than Garth Tander
06:47Garth, it's great to have you on the commentary box
06:49but I'm sure you wouldn't want to be
06:51you'd rather be out there
06:52what happened yesterday?
06:53Well that's right Mark
06:54as much as a great bunch of guys
06:56you'd rather be out the track
06:57basically made a mistake
07:00it was my error
07:01I hit the inside wall
07:02on one of the apexes
07:03and then that just fired the car
07:04straight to the outside wall
07:06where you turn off the back straight
07:07and it's done a fair bit of damage
07:09Let's take a look at the grid now for you
07:10and how they line up for the FAI Insurance Challenge
07:13the enforcer on pole
07:14alongside Paul Radisic

07:46enormous number of V8s here
07:49biggest field ever
07:49for Gold Coast
07:52on to Indy 300
07:53Rodney Crick
07:54and Paul Morris
07:55Trevor Ashby
07:56Christian D'Agostin
07:57McDonagh
07:58Garth Tander
07:58well they're not
07:59making the start today
08:01so there's been problems
08:03a bit further back in the pack
08:04we've got a great battle here
08:05should be a tremendous run
08:07into that first
08:08Honda chicane
08:08between Paul Radicich
08:09and Russell Engel
08:11who's going to give way
08:11who's your money on
08:13Garth
08:13well I reckon
08:14if Russell gets in front
08:15that'll be the
08:15widest cattle
08:16I've ever seen
08:17yeah
08:19no doubt
08:20he was so happy
08:21to get the old pole position
08:22yesterday
08:22I'm sure you're right
08:24he's definitely
08:25got the eyes on
08:25no doubt about that
08:27Garth has been a lot
08:27of conjecture
08:28about what cars
08:29to run up here
08:30people at home
08:31may have noticed
08:31that John Bauer
08:32for example
08:32has opted to run
08:33the older EL Falcon
08:34so that his AU Falcon
08:35is alright for Bathurst
08:36and yet conversely
08:38to that
08:38Paul Radicich
08:38who we saw come through
08:39just a few seconds ago
08:41is running the brand new car
08:42they campaigned last weekend
08:43is that a risk?
08:44Oh look Greg
08:45it's not really
08:45because we've got
08:47I think three or four weeks
08:48before Bathurst
08:48and the guys that work
08:50on the cars these days
08:51are pretty good
08:52at turning the cars around
08:53in a pretty short period of time
08:54so I mean
08:55if you have a shunt
08:56like in our case
08:57we'll have that car
08:58fixed within a week
08:59and we'll be back testing
09:00and really it won't
09:01upset our Bathurst program
09:02but some of the guys
09:04in the older cars
09:05I think they're just
09:05a bit scared
09:07that's all
09:07What's this place like
09:09in VA?
09:09Oh it's awesome
09:10really
09:10I mean it's a shame
09:11that it is
09:12it is close to Bathurst
09:13because it'd be nice
09:14if you could come here
09:15and really have a red hot go
09:16you do have to be
09:17a little bit cautious
09:18but I mean
09:19this place around here
09:20over the kerbs
09:21and through the chicanes
09:22out at the back
09:23where we're looking now
09:24it's pretty awesome
09:26Through the Foster chicanes
09:28there
09:28you can expect some of them
09:29to get up on two wheels
09:30we saw that during the
09:31the top ten shootout
09:33yesterday
09:33right warm weather
09:35for the first of these races
09:36in the FAI insurance
09:39V8 supercar challenge
09:40and Russell Inglebrake
09:43the duck on the streets
09:44of the Gold Coast
09:44he certainly did it yesterday
09:45in terms of qualifying
09:46great new shot that
09:47here's your weather forecast
09:49here on the Gold Coast
09:51some early rain periods
09:52that we had this morning
09:53have now cleared
09:54but those northerly winds
09:55are coming through
09:56it's like John Bowe's
09:57driving a tank
09:58it's a really weird angle
10:00isn't it
10:01looking down inside
10:02a Sherman tank
10:03tell you what
10:04you need something like that
10:05around the streets
10:05the surface though
10:06lined with concrete blocks
10:08very hard
10:10a lot of accuracy required
10:11step out of line
10:12as Garth Tander found yesterday
10:14yeah they don't give way
10:16either Mark
10:16no
10:16you definitely can't move them
10:18you try
10:19that EL Falcon
10:21that John Bowe
10:21is campaigning
10:22is not the first one
10:23that the Cat Ford team
10:24brought out
10:24at the beginning of last season
10:26that car was sold
10:28and that in fact
10:29is the car
10:29that John Briggs
10:30campaigned last year
10:31out of the
10:31super cheap autos team
10:33what about Henry
10:34then last year
10:35he was in the air
10:35he was
10:36that was his old car
10:37it was a former
10:37Stone Brothers car
10:38yep
10:38that was very quick
10:39around the Gold Coast
10:40you may recall
10:41he's had the field
10:43come around
10:44on their formation lap
10:44weaving left to right
10:46trying to get some heat
10:47into the tyres
10:47make sure everything's right
10:49before they blast off
10:50big field
10:51we've seen plenty of carnage
10:52in these chicanes
10:54on the Gold Coast course
10:56it's a very tight
10:57narrow layout
10:58trying to stuff
10:59this many cars
10:59into a finite space
11:01quite often ends in tears
11:03a lot of the cart
11:04crew members
11:05are now looking on anxiously
11:06they do like these
11:07V8 supercar races
11:09so this series now
11:12is just so good
11:13it's so close
11:14it's incredible
11:15bear in mind
11:17this is not a
11:17championship round
11:19of the Shell series
11:20as we get set to go
11:21in the FAI Insurance
11:22V8 supercar challenge
11:23on the streets
11:24of the Gold Coast
11:25red lights on
11:26we're away
11:27Russell Ingle
11:28at the start
11:28the Rat
11:29an even better start
11:30though
11:30a drag race
11:31down into turn one
11:32for the first time
11:32the Castrol Commodore
11:33up against the Shell

11:37highway for the first time
11:38Russell muscles out
11:40the Rat
11:40and takes the lead
11:41yeah that's a significant move
11:43that is
11:44no doubt about it
11:45keep your eyes
11:46further back
11:46of the pack
11:47it looks like
11:47they've had a relatively
11:48clean start
11:49Russell Ingle
11:50in front of the Rat
11:51the big winner
11:52at Sandow Park
11:53last weekend
11:54as they file out
11:55of the chicane
11:56thundering down
11:56toward Queensland
11:57turn
11:58at the door
11:59of the ANA hotel
12:00fast part of the circuit
12:01you can see the
12:01concrete line
12:02streets
12:02lined with spectators
12:03they love the roar
12:05of these V8 supercars
12:06oh look at this
12:06run under brakes
12:07so everyone
12:09jostling for position
12:10on this hectic
12:11opening lap
12:11Markham's made up
12:12a position
12:13on lap one
12:14he's managed to get
12:15around Craig Lowndes
12:16and slot himself
12:16in the Mitre 10
12:17forward up into
12:18fourth position
12:19but now under siege
12:20from the defending
12:20champion
12:21as they thunder
12:21down the Esplanade
12:23look at the Rat
12:24how pumped up
12:25he's here at the moment
12:25and under brakes
12:26and knives down
12:27the inside of Russell
12:28Ingle Paul Radisic
12:29takes the lead
12:30and Mark Scaife
12:31sniffing there as well
12:32just hoping for a mistake
12:33from Russell
12:33well Garthander
12:35I was expecting
12:36Russell to make
12:37that car wider
12:37than it is
12:38but that was pretty
12:39good by the Rat
12:40wasn't it
12:40well yeah
12:41I thought Russell
12:42if he covered his line
12:43would be tighter
12:43than that on the first lap
12:44with everyone so close
12:46but yeah
12:46Paul snuck through
12:47quite nicely
12:48and quite cleanly
12:49very unrustled
12:50yeah surprising
12:51wasn't it really
12:52Radisic's really
12:53on a charge
12:54he's on a high
12:54debuting the brand

13:26well this is what
13:29we were tipping
13:29before the start
13:30of this race
13:30we didn't want to
13:31see it happen
13:31but it is a place
13:33where that can happen
13:34look at this freight
13:34train banked up here
13:35Murphy has gone
13:36sort of skewed
13:37to the right
13:37into the wall

13:57damage

13:59to get the old
13:59flags out

14:03continuing
14:04not sure
14:04we're waiting
14:04to
14:05that's the view
14:06from Greg
14:06Murphy's car
14:07there Mark
14:07here the command
14:08from race control
14:09but that track
14:09looks virtually
14:10blocked
14:10it was very
14:11difficult with the
14:12field to pick
14:12their way past
14:13here safety car
14:14will be coming
14:15out on the track
14:15any moment now
14:16Greg Murphy
14:18does not look
14:18happy there
14:19to the right
14:19hand side
14:20of your screen
14:20does he
14:20talking with
14:21the marshals
14:21there hasn't
14:23been too many
14:23words exchanged
14:24between these
14:25guys either
14:25well it's not
14:27a sort of
14:27time we might
14:28have a chat
14:28really
14:28exactly
14:29oh you see
14:31I can't you
14:32can't really
14:33see what
14:33it looked like
14:34Mark Larkham
14:36did something
14:37at the beginning
14:38by virtue of the
14:39fact he was the
14:40first car
14:40wasn't he
14:41it was just a
14:41concertina
14:42thing
14:43it looked like
14:44then maybe
14:45Murph got on
14:47the brakes
14:47what do you
14:48what do you think
14:48happened there
14:49it looked like
14:49Larkham may have
14:50had half a
14:51moment
14:51with the walls
14:53here you've
14:53really got
14:53nowhere to go
14:54and unfortunately
14:54it looked like
14:55Murph was the
14:56first one there
14:56and then it just
14:57stacks on the
14:57mill after that
14:58I mean with the
14:59concrete walls
15:00around here
15:01you just can't
15:02avoid anything
15:02you really just
15:03have to plough
15:03into whoever's
15:04there it's
15:04unfortunate
15:05poor old
15:05Kmart guys
15:06they've got both
15:07cars there
15:07so they'll be
15:08working pretty
15:09hard tonight
15:09well motorsports
15:11full of highs and
15:11lows look at that
15:12man Stephen Ellery
15:13still on the
15:13podium for the
15:14first time in the
15:15Shell Championship
15:15Series only
15:16six days ago
15:17now he finds
15:19himself in the
15:19Kmart crash
15:21two Kmart
15:22Commodores going
15:23out Greg Murphy
15:24and Stephen
15:24Rich is shaking
15:25their heads in
15:25despair
15:26and here comes
15:27the field
15:27threading through
15:28behind the
15:28pace car
15:29they'll be under
15:31full yellow flag
15:32conditions here
15:33queue will form
15:35behind the safety
15:35car until they
15:36can clear this
15:36wreckage and get
15:37back to racing
15:38but they've got a
15:38lot of work to do
15:39certainly have
15:40that corner is the
15:41site you may recall
15:42many years ago
15:43that massive shunt
15:44Brad Jones had
15:45in the Audi and
15:46the super touring
15:47races
15:47out of his car as
15:51well so
15:51obviously pulled up
15:52on the
15:52plane possibly
15:57that's from the
15:59shell car isn't
15:59it because look
16:00that's the in-car
16:01camera that's on
16:01the shell car
16:02this is a replay
16:02of the start
16:03and both launch
16:05off the line
16:05side by side
16:06yeah it was
16:10pretty even here
16:11Garth
16:12Tender
16:12yeah you've got
16:14two of the
16:14gun starters
16:15starting on the
16:16front row
16:16there's a fair gap
16:18back to the next
16:18bunch behind these
16:19two they got an
16:20awesome start
16:20really rusty
16:21just make sure
16:22that he was on
16:22parked his car on
16:23the inside and
16:24there was nothing
16:24that Paul could do
16:25about it so
16:25nice and clean
16:27and they got pretty
16:28close to each other
16:28I think the mind
16:29games were definitely
16:30in go there
16:31there was contact
16:32there I think
16:32little bit of push
16:33and shove
16:34but only took
16:35half a lap later
16:36and the rat
16:37snuck down the
16:37inside of the
16:38Castor Commodore
16:39interesting that
16:39they actually had
16:40a standing start
16:41here because I
16:41think if you
16:42remember last
16:42year we had a
16:43rolling start
16:43and there was a
16:44bit of a
16:44gentleman's
16:45agreement that
16:45no one was
16:46going to pass
16:46until we got
16:47to the back
16:47straight so
16:48back to the
16:50standing start
16:50but I mean
16:51we all got
16:51through
16:51well safety car
16:53is out on the
16:53circuit here on
16:54the streets of
16:54Surfers Paradise
16:55this is the V8
16:56supercar challenge
16:57and we will be
16:58back on the
16:59other side of
16:59this
16:59and we're
17:12back on the
17:13streets of
17:13Surfers Paradise
17:14where it's
17:15beautiful for
17:15some and not
17:16so perfect for
17:17others this is
17:18the FAI V8
17:19supercar challenge
17:20and we are under
17:21safety car conditions
17:22at the moment
17:22this is the reason
17:23why the aftermath
17:24of a massive
17:25concertina which
17:26has taken out
17:27both the Kmart
17:27Commodores and
17:29the Superchip
17:29Ford of
17:30Stephen Ellery
17:30yeah well you
17:33never know
17:33what's going to
17:34happen on the
17:34streets of
17:35Surfers Paradise
17:36it's a track
17:37notorious for
17:38damage particularly
17:39in the V8
17:40races which have
17:42supported the
17:42event for a
17:42number of years
17:43now and the
17:45placement of this
17:45event we say
17:46it often
17:46very precarious
17:48for these teams
17:48with Bathurst just
17:49around the corner
17:50look at this
17:50replay Garth
17:51now this is
17:53from Mark
17:54Larkin's
17:55Mitre Team
17:55Ford
17:55yeah he's
17:57just looping
17:58and Almer
18:00straightened him
18:01up nicely
18:01and off we
18:02go again
18:02thank you
18:04so Larkin got
18:04to drive away
18:05but behind him
18:06all chaos
18:07here we are
18:08there you go
18:09not sure if there
18:13was contact
18:13between the Kmart
18:14Commodore and the
18:15Mitre Team Falcon
18:16hard to pick from
18:18that angle
18:18because everyone's
18:19running so close
18:20Larkin takes off
18:23and look at the
18:23field
18:23bunching up behind
18:24him
18:25track virtually
18:26blocked
18:27it did seem
18:28strange the way
18:28the back end
18:29of Mark's car
18:30came out so
18:31quick
18:31yeah I mean
18:32first lap
18:33it could have
18:33been anything
18:34it's actually
18:35been quite slippery
18:35through that part
18:36of the track
18:36all weekend
18:37cold tyres
18:38and we've
18:38actually had
18:39some rain
18:39so it's washed
18:40the circuit
18:40so there's not
18:41as much rubber
18:41down
18:41as I was
18:42probably expecting
18:43well get the
18:43checkbook out
18:44Gary Dunbrell
18:45wow boy he's
18:46the team boss
18:46of the Kmart
18:47race team
18:48already on the
18:50blower
18:50yep
18:50calling the
18:51panel beaters
18:52no doubt
18:52an expensive
18:53end to their
18:55Gold Coast
18:55campaign and a
18:56couple of busy
18:56weeks coming up
18:57for the Kmart
18:58race team
18:58and he's got
18:59the big screen
18:59right in front
19:00of him so he
19:00could have had
19:01a bird's eye
19:01view
19:02there's a very
19:02close up here
19:04of the damage
19:04take more
19:06than a tin of
19:06polish to sort
19:07out
19:07would you consider
19:08that to be
19:09fairly superficial
19:10Garth from a
19:11race team's
19:11point of view
19:12one's had a
19:12major repair
19:13it'll depend
19:13I mean if
19:14the front rails
19:15have concertina
19:16I mean when
19:16the car goes
19:17into the wall
19:17straight on like
19:18that
19:18there's another
19:20shot
19:20of the actual
19:22incident unfolding
19:23it'd be nice
19:24to have a look
19:25at the front
19:25bumper of Merv's
19:26car wouldn't
19:26it just to see
19:27if he did
19:29actually touch
19:32Slarkham
19:32look at the
19:34feel look
19:35they're still
19:35concertina
19:35there you can
19:36see Johnson's
19:37car just getting
19:37hit at the back
19:38keep in mind
19:39the normal safety
19:40car rules apply
19:41touring car racing
19:43here so the first
19:44five laps behind
19:45the safety car
19:46are not counting
19:47as race laps
19:48so there's still
19:49plenty of action
19:49to come
19:50keep in mind
19:51Paul Radisic
19:52won all three
19:52races here last
19:53year
19:54absolute clean
19:56sweep for the
19:56Kiwi
19:56and the way he's
19:58driving at the
19:58moment the
19:59brilliant move
19:59on Engel
20:00halfway through
20:00lap one
20:01it's like he's
20:02very determined
20:02to repeat it
20:03again
20:03cars will stay
20:06out on the
20:07circuit
20:07this is taking
20:08a little longer
20:10to clean up
20:11than they would
20:11like
20:12John Bauer
20:17there
20:17yep
20:17the El Falcon
20:18the older model
20:20car
20:21we saw that
20:22last year
20:22a number of
20:23top teams
20:24bringing out
20:24their older model
20:25El Falcon
20:26and BS model
20:27Commodores
20:28just for that
20:29very reason
20:30so that if
20:30there was
20:30damage incurred
20:31they wouldn't
20:32have to worry
20:33about those
20:33cars for
20:34Mount Panorama
20:34look at the
20:35damage to the
20:35front of
20:35Stephen Johnson's
20:36car
20:36saw him get
20:38caught up in
20:38that concertina
20:39fortunately he's
20:40been able to
20:40back out
20:40Neil Crompton
20:41was involved
20:42too
20:42he was very
20:43lucky Neil
20:43Crompton
20:43wasn't he
20:44yep
20:44bad time
20:46he had about
20:46luck
20:46yeah
20:47John Bauer
20:49on the
20:49Caterpillar
20:49Racing
20:50El Falcon
20:51he looks like
20:52he's got
20:52Buggs's
20:53booster seat
20:53behind him
20:54he does like
20:57that doesn't
20:57he
20:57he's not
20:58into the
20:58Larry Lounge
20:59loser driving
21:00position
21:00he likes it
21:00nice and
21:01up and
21:02close
21:02Stephen Johnson
21:03has had a bit
21:04of a return
21:04to form
21:05though too
21:05this weekend
21:06he was very
21:06quick in
21:06qualifying
21:07and in
21:07practice
21:08that is the
21:08car that
21:09Paul Radisic
21:09has been
21:10campaigning
21:10this season
21:11well while
21:14we're waiting
21:15for them to
21:16fix up the
21:16track
21:16Billy Woods
21:17we know
21:17this place
21:17is a
21:18concrete
21:18canyon
21:18and there's
21:19just no
21:19margin for
21:20error
21:20is there
21:20and it
21:21certainly
21:21isn't easy
21:22as we
21:22pass the
21:23carnage
21:24to
21:24actually
21:25remove it
21:26from the
21:26circuit
21:27but that
21:27is one
21:28of the
21:28problems
21:28when you
21:28have a
21:29street
21:29circuit
21:29it's as
21:29exciting
21:31but during
21:32the week
21:32as we
21:33wait for
21:33that to
21:33be cleaned
21:34up
21:34it's pretty
21:34hard not
21:35to notice
21:35the carnival
21:36that surrounds
21:36the Honda
21:37Indy 300
21:37unless you
21:38have a good
21:38ticket
21:39you won't
21:39see the
21:40wealth of
21:40entertainment
21:41however
21:41inside the
21:42circuit
21:42organisers
21:43make sure
21:43the fans
21:44have plenty
21:44to do
21:45as Tim
21:46Bailey
21:46discovered
21:46so folks
21:48it's my
21:48job to

26:23getting off
26:23the turn
26:24previous
26:24quicker
26:25you really need
26:26to get on the
26:26gas as early
26:27as possible
26:27and position
26:27yourself
26:28up the inside

26:33it
26:33really
26:34it's all
26:35done under
26:35brakes here
26:36and it's
26:36quite hard
26:37on the brakes
26:38around here
26:38and you know
26:39with those
26:40walls there
26:41you've got to
26:41make sure
26:41you give
26:42each other
26:42plenty of
26:42room
26:43Scaifey

27:07shortened
27:08that shell
27:10helix forward
27:11it's like a jet
27:11at the moment
27:12isn't it
27:12straight out of
27:13the box
27:13that car
27:13was quick
27:14last weekend

27:19he's got a
27:20renewed level
27:21of enthusiasm
27:22Mark
27:22keep in mind

27:26and look at
27:27the lead
27:27he's got
27:28on the
27:28enforcer
27:28at the
27:28moment
27:29the shell
27:30team
27:30the forward
27:31team
27:31of the
27:32Holden
27:32guys
27:32are fearing
27:33most at
27:33Mount
27:33Panorama
27:34Garth
27:34I mean
27:34looking at
27:35the speed
27:35those cars
27:36had last
27:36year
27:36they're
27:37phenomenally
27:37quick
27:37in a straight
27:38line
27:38aren't they
27:38well really
27:39yeah
27:39everyone's
27:40sort of got
27:40their eye
27:40on the shell
27:41team
27:41obviously
27:41Paul's car
27:42last year
27:42was just
27:43awesome
27:43down Conrod
27:44and they
27:45haven't lost
27:46any horsepower
27:46in the last
27:4712 months
27:47that's for sure
27:48so everyone's
27:50got their eye
27:50on them
27:51and pretty much
27:52I think Larko
27:53will be a bit
27:53of a dark horse
27:53up there too
27:54he's got plenty
27:54of squirt
27:56under the bonnet
27:56so Bathurst
27:57is all about
27:58horsepower
27:58and those

28:46of heels
28:477 tenths
28:47of a second
28:48up the road
28:48now
28:48just trying
28:49to pump
28:49out
28:49a bit
28:50of a break
28:51over his
28:51Commodore
28:52Pursuers
28:52three of them
28:53in a line
28:53but they
28:53can't touch
28:54this AUXR8
28:55Falcon at the
28:56moment
28:56just looks
28:58so clean
28:58on the road
28:58doesn't
28:59it
28:59yeah
28:59it's
29:00riding
29:00the bumps
29:00really well
29:01it's riding
29:02the curbs
29:02obviously the curbs
29:03are a big key
29:04around here
29:04and not only
29:06does it go in
29:06a straight line
29:07but they've
29:07worked out how
29:08to make it go
29:08around corners
29:09as well
29:09and I mean
29:10the Shell team
29:12and Paul in
29:12particular
29:12have been coming
29:13for the last
29:13couple of rounds
29:14of the championship
29:15and obviously
29:16Sandown and now
29:17here at IndyCar
29:17they're right on
29:19top of things
29:19Ford has had a
29:20really solid run
29:22here in recent years
29:23Larkin cleaned up
29:24in 98 Radisic last
29:25year in fact
29:26the last Holden
29:27victory here
29:28was by Russell
29:29Engel back in
29:291997
29:30yeah I think
29:31they'll come up
29:31here and go
29:32testing when
29:32we're not around
29:35yeah by comparison
29:36to Radisic's
29:39car
29:39Engel's thing
29:40looks quite soft
29:41and over the
29:41chicanes
29:42it's wallows
29:43it's a fast
29:46circuit
29:46Garth Tanner
29:47when you stand
29:47beside the
29:48concrete walls
29:49here and watch
29:49these things
29:50come through
29:50they're frightening
29:51how fast they're
29:51going
29:52well that's it
29:52and I mean
29:53obviously the
29:53fast way to go
29:54is to be as
29:54close to the
29:55walls as
29:55possible
29:56and the
29:58street circuits
29:59sort of do that
30:00they make the
30:00cars look a lot
30:01faster than
30:01they were actually
30:02going and
30:02they're an
30:03awesome spectacle
30:03and definitely
30:05the most fun
30:06to drive on
30:07does it take
30:07long to convince
30:08yourself that
30:09yeah you can
30:09go a little bit
30:10closer to the
30:10wall
30:10well yeah I
30:11probably did a
30:12bit too much
30:12convincing myself
30:13and yeah
30:16ended up a bit
30:16too close
30:17but Gary will
30:18be telling me
30:19all about that
30:19for the next
30:19couple of weeks
30:20that's for sure
30:21your team mate
30:22Jason Bargwan
30:22has just been
30:23shown the
30:23bad sportsmanship
30:24flag
30:25oh really
30:25oh come on
30:26he's a good
30:27guy he doesn't
30:28need the bad
30:28sportsmanship
30:28flag
30:29for hopping
30:30the curbs
30:30apparently
30:31that is something
30:33they've policed
30:34quite closely
30:34here this week
30:35haven't they
30:35yeah well
30:36we had the
30:37first two
30:37practices
30:38on Thursday
30:39and apparently
30:41there was 225
30:42breaches
30:43in one session
30:43of curb abuse
30:44the people at
30:46home might like
30:46to know why
30:47why is that
30:47against the rules
30:48you seem to be
30:49able to go quicker
30:49as we see them
30:50come through the
30:50foster chicane
30:51you can see them
30:52launching over the
30:52curbs and that
30:53most of the drivers
30:54say is the quick
30:55way around
30:55well it is the
30:56quick way around
30:56and it's not so
30:57much using the
30:57curbs
30:58if you look at
30:59some of the
30:59chicanes there's
31:00some witch's hats
31:00standing and they're
31:01actually bolted down
31:02to the ground
31:03and it's when you
31:03actually hit the
31:04witch's hat that
31:04you're getting a bit
31:05of strife
31:06so actually going over
31:07the curbs isn't
31:08too much of a problem
31:08but I think some of the
31:10guys were taking that
31:11a bit too liberally
31:12and actually just
31:13straight lining the
31:14chicanes
31:14they've actually
31:15flattened the curbs
31:15out a bit this year
31:16and it's made it a lot
31:17easier to drive over
31:18them
31:19that's the silly thing
31:20isn't it really
31:21they should have
31:21made them higher
31:22then people would
31:22steer clearer
31:23well that's right
31:24I mean if there was
31:25a concrete wall
31:25you wouldn't ride
31:26yeah absolutely
31:26two laps remaining
31:28for our race leader
31:29Paul Radisic
31:30doing it easy
31:31out front at the
31:32moment
31:32it's almost a second
31:33lead now
31:33Craig Lowndes
31:35really putting
31:35the pressure
31:35oh look at this
31:37Mark Skatesko
31:38damn me
31:38so he's had a
31:40moment there
31:40Craig Lowndes
31:41trying to pounce
31:42as they come
31:43sweeping round
31:43up toward
31:44Queensland turn
31:44three
31:45and there's something
31:45inside
31:46hard under brakes
31:47Craig Lowndes
31:48sneaks inside
31:49Skate
31:49is Skate
31:49going to come
31:49back on the
31:50inside
31:50yes
31:50they're going
31:51to go side
31:52by side
31:52up toward
31:52turn four
31:53Skate takes
31:55it back
31:55it's a great
31:56battle amongst
31:57the Holden Racing
31:58team teammates
31:59but look at the
31:59gap
32:00Paul Radisic
32:01and Russell Angle
32:02now have opened
32:02up over the
32:03Red Barons
32:04Lowndes is not
32:05giving up here
32:05either as they
32:06run down the
32:06Esplanade
32:07towards Worldcom
32:09Esses
32:09Skate's got
32:10the line
32:11well we hear
32:12Radisic has also
32:13been given a
32:13warning for hopping
32:14the kerbs too
32:14so the pace is
32:15coming up
32:16drivers really

32:18fight between
32:18the team mates
32:19this will be good
32:20Bugs will be there
32:21in a minute
32:21we'll try and make
32:22it three way
32:22side by side
32:24threading their
32:24way through the
32:25concrete stretch
32:25who's going to
32:26get in
32:26looks like
32:27looks like
32:27Lowndes gave in
32:28on that
32:28occasion
32:29Mark
32:29Skate
32:30retains his
32:31position in
32:32third
32:32Clouth sideways
32:34on the exit
32:34of the

32:39on Craig Lowndes
32:39future
32:40with Holden
32:41Racing team
32:42he's driving
32:43like a man
32:43possessed at the
32:44moment
32:44giving it
32:44everything
32:45car won
32:46the reigning
32:46Shell Series
32:47champion
32:47let's have a look
32:48further back
32:49here we might
32:49have a clue
32:50as to what
32:50happened to
32:51Mark Skate
32:52maybe
32:53Honda replay
32:54got right
32:57out of shape
32:58coming out
32:58of the
32:58chicane
32:59very lucky
33:00to get away
33:01with that
33:01yeah it looked
33:02like he just
33:03sort of fired
33:03it off the
33:03curve a bit
33:04too hard
33:04and it's just
33:05gone backwards
33:06into the wall
33:07and he's fairly
33:07lucky not to get
33:08collected by his
33:09teammate there
33:09one lap
33:10remaining
33:10in this first
33:11in a series
33:12of races
33:13on the Gold
33:13Coast
33:14the FAI
33:14Insurance
33:15V8 Supercar
33:16Challenge
33:16watching the
33:18battle for third
33:18between the
33:19Red Barons
33:20the teammates
33:20and this is
33:21not far from
33:22where Mark Skate
33:23came unstuck
33:24a lap
33:24ago
33:24the Rat
33:24up in front
33:25Russell's
33:25racing ground
33:27yeah they've
33:29really opened
33:29it up
33:293.6 seconds
33:31the gap
33:31now between
33:31Russell
33:32Engel
33:32and Mark Skate
33:33so the
33:34Holden
33:34Racing team
33:35locked in
33:36a battle
33:36amongst themselves
33:37Paul Radisic
33:37and Russell
33:38Engel
33:38battling
33:39for the lead
33:39hard under
33:40brakes
33:40as they swing
33:41through
33:41turn 3
33:43up toward
33:44Telstra
33:44turn 4
33:45Russell
33:47Engel
33:47after he let
33:47Radisic
33:48through
33:48on that
33:49opening lap
33:50powerless
33:50to do
33:50anything
33:51about
33:51at the
33:51moment
33:51you're
33:53on board
33:53with the
33:53Rat
33:5437 year
33:55old
33:55Queensland
33:56Queensland
33:57based
33:57New Zealander
33:58who's
33:59raced cars
33:59all around
34:00the world
34:00enormously
34:02experienced
34:02driver
34:03both
34:03single
34:04seaters
34:04and
34:04touring
34:05cars
34:05doing a
34:06tremendous
34:07job
34:07for Dick
34:07Johnson
34:07racing here
34:08toward the
34:08end of the
34:092000 season
34:09raced
34:11and
34:12raced
34:13I wonder
34:14if Radisic
34:14is having
34:15any kind
34:15of brake
34:15problem
34:16or anything
34:16or do you
34:17think
34:17he's just
34:18backing
34:18I'd say
34:18he's just
34:19looking after
34:19the tyres
34:20obviously
34:20we've got
34:20two more
34:21races
34:21after this
34:21we've gone
34:22into two
34:22sets
34:22of tyres
34:23and
34:23when you're
34:24running out
34:24in the
34:25clean air
34:25out in front
34:26you get
34:26plenty of
34:27nice cool
34:27air
34:27in the
34:28brake
34:28duck
34:28so
34:28I'd say
34:29you'd
34:30just be
34:30winning
34:31at the
34:31slowest
34:32possible
34:32margin
34:32just trying
34:33to tempt
34:34Russell
34:34into having
34:34a bit
34:35of a go
34:35I'd say
34:35the enforcer
34:40on maximum
34:40attack
34:41with a couple
34:41of corners
34:42to go
34:42will

34:44for Russell
