2024 V8 Supercars & Supports:12 Rounds Calendar inc NZ round confirmed

[Everso Biggyballies]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Looks like tyres will be more the strategy today. They all have plenty of dries available and they probably dont have a lot of tyre wear data given the weather and the mostly wet tyre running.

8 laps in a they have all been pretty well behaved and just a few rubs. Early days yet I guess. Mostert slowly pickingh is way through, now he has just passed Heimi for 12th.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Further up the field Brown has picked off Brodie for 4th.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Mostert getd Stanaway now for 11th.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Payne had a decent gap but now thats shrunk back. Not sure if its Payne losing speed or Feeney getting settled . Maybe its more a tyre thing..... certainly the two Red Bulls are looking very tidy and precise

Feeney on Payne's bumper and the gap behing Feeney is now over 2 seconds so suspect its Feeney is the one with the. speed.

[Everso Biggyballies]

In fact Feeneynow takes the lead and all of a sudden ADP has picked up and moved closer to Payne . ADP gets past Payne so suspect Payne is struggling with tyres. The big gap is now between Brown and Brodie between 4th and 5th.

Payne down to 3rd now. Definitely losing speed.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Starting to see some stops now down the field.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Brown all over him and passes as well. Looked like Payne just had no front grip and went went unable to turn in. Reckon he will be a stopper soon.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Feeney now has over 2 seconds on ADP now, and with Brown in 3rd looks like whatever changed other than the weather was good for both Red Bulls.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Mostert now ahead of Waters and up to 7th. as ADP heads for the lane so Mostert will inherit 6th.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Feeney first of the leaders to stop on lap 20. JLB in as well. Quick stop for Feeney rejoins 9th. Motert stopped. as well and it looked slow. Rejoined 18th..

[Everso Biggyballies]

Now Brown Payne and Brodie stop together

[Everso Biggyballies]

Tell you what, the undercut worked.... Feeney now 4th , ADP 5th but Brown down in 8th, Payne and Brodie 11th and 12th.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Waters and Love now the only 2 not to stop yet. Waters leads. Stops as I type.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Feeney leads now from ADP Brown Slade Golding Payne Brodie Davo JLB and Percat. All have stopped once. Gap is between ADP and Brown

The fact both PremiAir car of Golding and Slade both stopped early and now running near the front reinforces the undercut power here.

Downside of course is PremiAir cars will loose grip earlier given the older tyres.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Not sure why but Stanaway now down to 20th so whether he had a bad stop dunno.
