Well that was an interesting day today.
I felt rather let down with all the hype for this half and half race, with a 15 minute break inbetween races.
It was very processional race in both legs I thought as they were only just short sprints, so whoever got the lead won the race as it was too short to make ground on the leader, let alone pass in such a short race.
I think the only thing that made the race worth watching was the incidents in the second race.
Nothing during the telecast about penalties being handed out for anything, as I'm sure there will be some (must check out the stewards report online).
Talking about stewards and the like, I wonder what's going to happen with Phil Ward and his tantrum at the start of the Aussie Racing Cars SUPPORT event, where he drove up to the start line, got out of his car and demanded that the race to be postponed for oil to be cleaned up before he'd let the rest of the field start. Nearly caused some big issues when the yellow flags got put out for him stopping on track, caused some to think the race had started and take off, and in turn nearly create a lot of damaged cars.
I guess old Phil won't be winning too many friends after that episode, as it went from an 8 lap race to a 5 lap race. Personally I think they should have scrapped the race completely, and let the teams deal with Phil later.
Well done to Lowndes taking out both races, but also to Tim Slade for his 2nd and 3rd placings.
