Yes, agreed. Was a good race, though. Reynolds did well.

A Ford slipped into 3rd place, which made me happy.

Holden did well, though.

Driver of the day, for me, was Van Gisbergen.

What 'Holden?' What part of that car....was 'Holden?' The badge? (What part of the 'Fords' were 'Fords,' as well.)

You make a really good point.

If they had run out of fuel, it would have been a real anti-climax.

That second last safety car seemed to come along at just the right time.

This is big money, and I have no doubt that there is corruption involved.

To think otherwise, would be extremely naive.

Still, i enjoyed the race.

Those 'safety car' events were timed beautifully for the cars who did not take a fuel break and 'rode their good luck.' As they say....'You make your own luck.'
