00:00:00brad jones racing and having a real party this weekend at simmons plains jason bright actually

00:00:08made his championship debut at this track way back in 1997 in the grm he was filling in that

00:00:14weekend he finished 10th overall and right now he's got a race victory next to his name the first

00:00:20time that he's sprayed the champagne since uh winter 2011 and as we know fabian coolthard

00:00:26in the sister car won yesterday to kick off a great weekend so that's the scenario coolthard wins

00:00:31race three bright wins race four and one to go with mark winterbottom to start on pole position

00:00:36scapey it's been a really unique weekend it's not over and done with yet well they've had to adapt

00:00:40matt haven't they you know the the 60 60 super sprint yesterday with the half time and the restart

00:00:45dual file restart then those sprint races and what's actually happening a lot of i think the

00:00:49drivers now that we've spoken to so many of them after the first couple of races at this weekend

00:00:54what's actually happening is they've got to live with how they set the car at the start

00:00:58so you can't make those changes when you when you've normally had in our formats a pit stop and a roll

00:01:04center change they've got to drive around the issues and craig lownds he was complaining his rear tires

00:01:09were totally destroyed at the end of that that race four yeah it's all shiny happy and rosy in the

00:01:14garage that we're in and next door but there are more unhappy drivers than happy when you do a tour of

00:01:19pit lane so let's run you through the highlights of race four it was a bjr lockout on the front row

00:01:24bright starting from pole position fabian started second in every race so far and jason was just

00:01:29well and truly in control in fact early on this was probably fabian's only real crack down there at

00:01:36turn four which would prove to be a disaster for david reynolds now caruso clips david wall

00:01:41reynolds actually goes into the wall and quip later it's the first time he's been hit by two walls

00:01:46but i mean the damage to that car is just bizarre they're trying to piece it together

00:01:53to get back for race five it's a race against time and tim edwards just said to me there's about

00:01:58eighty thousand dollars worth of damage there so that was a very good pass courtney opportunistic

00:02:03there were some great battles in this field young scott mclaughlin did a really good job

00:02:07mark winterbottom and mclaughlin had a great battle have a look at this

00:02:11mclaughlin stays down the inside courtney gives winterbottom a hit

00:02:16and they and he gets away with it courtney a good bit of driving have a look at this on board now

00:02:21with james bang into the back of winterbottom backs out of it and he saved winterbottom from spinning

00:02:26but this performance from jason bright was world class it was a very very good drive he has had

00:02:32success at this circuit before but you have to go back to 2006 when he was driving for fbr he even

00:02:37managed to take out the number one signal as he comes back into pit lane so everything's going

00:02:42right and that is the critical aspect isn't it that those guys are really about the only two that are

00:02:47ultra happy with their cars so the championship point score after four races win cup leads remember

00:02:52craig lownds came in here with the championship lead he slipped down to third after that disaster

00:02:57yesterday everybody's talking about scotty mclaughlin he's fifth in the championship he's

00:03:01pulling off moves like we just saw then and he's really lighting it up mark winterbottom moves up two spots

00:03:05into eight so another 100 points on offer for race five when you get to the end of a weekend and the

00:03:11end of today when you are a driver and when you're a team and it's all a bit of a rush job how do you

00:03:16cope with that transition that is hard man i mean one of the things about it now is you've got to

00:03:21regroup you've got a qualifying performance that you've already that you already know so qualifying for

00:03:25race five has already been conducted you know where you've got a lob and you've got to get your brain

00:03:30around take all that stuff that you had before out from race four and get your brain around the start

00:03:34for race five yeah the world is certainly changing in v8 supercars that's the first race since sand

00:03:38down 2011 that an fpr driver or a triple eight driver has not been on the podium that breaks a

00:03:4637 race streak the car of the future is certainly playing its part coming up after the break we'll

00:03:52get larko's proper racing line neil crompton will do a full tour up and down pit lane as we prepare for

00:03:57race five

00:03:58for the last time we saw this car it was hard up against the wall at turn four and then on the back

00:04:26of a truck with bits and pieces hanging all over it now it looks brand new car 55 at david reynolds

00:04:30so perhaps there's a better than even chance that he will take part in race five neil crompton is

00:04:36heading there and will update us very soon but on the way let's check out larko's proper racing line

00:04:42here at simmons plains because it's a tricky circuit this one thanks to penright thanks matty and a

00:04:47little bit to get through so let's blaze into the track facts first okay race five of 36 in the

00:04:51championship a 100 kilometer sprint today no pit stops now arguably if there was a safety car

00:04:58mid race or before and you're in the middle of the pack and you came in and put a set of new tires

00:05:03you might pick up a few positions but debatable tires are soft so it's a sprint race now that's

00:05:08detail let's get into the meaty stuff here is the hairpin turn four at simmons plains we've seen lots

00:05:14of activity there over the weekend lots of overtaking lots of lost opportunity let's review some of the

00:05:18stuff we talked about yesterday now there's two ways to approach this and it's all around how you

00:05:22brake and position the car and the speed of the car at the entry to the corner there's what we call the

00:05:27high line this blue one car a he goes around here he doesn't take what we call a traditional apex where

00:05:33you clip it on the way out he stays high we see mark widderbottom doing this a lot there's a lot of grip

00:05:37out there it's very heavily banked and quite fast but if your car stops well and you can carry a little

00:05:42bit of entry speed in here you can go back to what you call your classic line and we get this

00:05:46crisscross that we talk about in here you tuck under and the reason they're doing that if this car just

00:05:52gets to there doesn't have to get all the way up beside him just gets to there he can maintain that

00:05:57position all the way down here to turn six so you can see what happens challenging at turn six effectively

00:06:04starts here under brakes now brakes are a drum here let me just show you a little bit of this vision over the

00:06:09course of the weekend with lots of teams having a real drama down at the hairpin and it's not anyone

00:06:15it's uh it's it's lots of drivers from lots of teams they're not dills they know where the corner

00:06:20is they just can't stop the cars so you've got to ask why can't they stop the cars can't be that hard

00:06:26there's even lounge now here's some data we've pulled this out of one of the race cars so this is

00:06:32what the engineers look at these this is a total lap of simmons plane this is the speed tracers

00:06:37here's your throttle position so you can see it correlates now here's our hairpin here so we come

00:06:42along 100 throttle okay down we go these are our gear changes whack whack whack whack whack now this

00:06:48green line corresponding is our brake tray so obviously when it's 100 throttle that's at zero

00:06:53jumps off the throttle jumps on the brakes now this guy should be in a bit of trouble but can you see

00:06:57that modulation there of the brake pedal that's as he's doing the heel and toe thing he's modulating it

00:07:02probably a little too much there but look brake temperatures blue one is front

00:07:06orange one is rear and if we come down to here we're seeing nearly a thousand degrees centigrade

00:07:11now remember water boils at 100 so when you do that after 20 25 30 laps the front brakes actually

00:07:19start to fade obviously they just don't work as well but because the rear brakes are running at half the

00:07:24temperature they continue to work very well so drivers get in a real quantity in quandary including

00:07:29right there in that race we just saw determining well hang on my car's locking up at the rear and your

00:07:35engineer saying wind more brakes to the rear because your fronts aren't working but you don't

00:07:39want to wind them to the rear because they're already locking up and it's really hard and here's

00:07:43evidence here here's a speed trace see the blue one that's a rear wheel lock up we're seeing there

00:07:47so it's very very difficult circumstance for a driver and an engineer to work out on the fly so we

00:07:52come back to our diagram you can see what happens at turn six down here actually starts by the efficiency

00:07:59of your braking way way back here isn't it great to have that virtual office you can take anywhere

00:08:04penright proper racing line larko down there in the microsoft office 365 tech center so the big question

00:08:11for this one is will david reynolds make it to the start grid for the fifth race of the season 100

00:08:17k's lies ahead of us we'll take a break and answer that one after this

00:08:21this has been quite a sight

00:08:47this weekend we've seen him at quite a few of our v8 supercar events we know well this is matt hall

00:08:52australia's aerobatic whiz got cameras on board and obviously on the ground he's

00:08:58just been going nuts up there the aircraft is an mxsr and at times he's pulling plus or minus 14g

00:09:06he's a third generation pilot xraaf that's what you call freestyling which is what you can do right

00:09:13now crompo give us that update on car 55 i can't believe this we need to do a then and now

00:09:18a shot of this have a look at this this is the front left corner of the botlow racing ford falcon

00:09:22of davy reynolds the last time we saw it as you pointed out a moment ago maddie it was hanging out

00:09:26of a fence up at turn four and it was completely ripped apart they're going to be able to run the

00:09:30car in the race is the answer to the big question the other concern that i had was what it looked like

00:09:34on the front right hand corner because it made huge impact with that wall so chris o'toole and maddie

00:09:39and all the boys from fpr here have done a stellar job real round of applause stuff to be able to get

00:09:44this car back out they had to change front suspension cross member they had huge damage on

00:09:49the right rear corner of the car as well and i'll bowl inside here to ford performance racing tim

00:09:54edwards is in here i can't believe the job that your boys have done you're the team principal you've

00:09:58got to be proud of your men and women in here for achieving that oh yeah absolutely i mean to replace

00:10:03the whole front end of the car including the cross member and steering rack i mean that means that you

00:10:07know that's what the engine sits on you know rear suspension as well they did a fantastic job and

00:10:11to get it out there she looks a bit battle scarred but she'll be all right but it will be out there

00:10:15that's the point uh here's the scattered components come up here tim give us a stock take uh jones he

00:10:21looks after all this stuff in subassembly he's actually had a bit of work to do this afternoon

00:10:24for once in his life but have a look at just talk us through it yeah well i mean that's probably about

00:10:29half the pile actually the other the other half's a bit more confidentially moved away but yeah i mean

00:10:33there's probably 70 grand's worth of parts that we've just torn up so pretty disappointing

00:10:37pretty disappointing but an awesome job to get it back out there thanks tim good luck this

00:10:40afternoon boys here's david you're going to be out there i thought you'd be on holiday but let me

00:10:44have a look you will start from position 10 row number five and it's all back in business for you

00:10:49man what a fantastic team they'd turn it around within an hour and you know unbelievable job i'm

00:10:54being here watching the whole time it's been unreal fantastic performance uh tell me what are your

00:10:59thoughts about yesterday's format and car of the future and the way it's all evolving there's been a bit

00:11:03of learning in the whole process uh yeah it's a big learning curve yesterday's format was a bit

00:11:07different it's not too bad but um i didn't wasn't really fan at the start it was too there's too much

00:11:13going on we're simple people drivers we can't compute that much information at once go and do

00:11:19some of that driver computing now and get ready for race number five dave patterson engineer there for

00:11:22botlow as well well done dave and your guys now where's i saw charlie schwirkot over here before

00:11:27have a go he's on the tools he's on the broom this is productivity like we've never seen before

00:11:32owner for the gel when car which makes car number four for for performance racing and alex davis and

00:11:37his driver here as well yeah that's right it's a show-off move this one gotta make it look good

00:11:42don't it boys it's great to have you back in the category for both of you because you've been off

00:11:45doing career cup successfully and we know what a tremendous pedigree this guy's got here and

00:11:50overseas in the category and you're back in the game once again charlie and the gel when car it's good

00:11:54to have you here making it four for four for for performance racing yeah no it's good it's great to be

00:11:58back it's been a while now two years and two years in the making to get it all going again so yeah

00:12:03no it's good and uh looking for some good results from this fellow we'll get up the tree a little

00:12:08bit a little bit of work to do but we'll get there and can you yeah i mean we've we've shown glimpses

00:12:13both at clips land at the grand prix and we had we were fifth on sunday at the grand prix which was

00:12:17a pretty good result for us struggled a little bit more than we would hope this weekend um but you

00:12:23know plenty of work to do we've got another race left today so we'll be pushing hard for sure

00:12:26we're looking forward to it thanks gents for having a chat this afternoon we'll sneak out into

00:12:29the lane there are 28 competitors and typically always bite off more than i can chew we're never

00:12:34going to get to anything like a decent number of them but i would like to slide up the road g'day

00:12:38good to see you doing some hard work there uh we'll sneak up the road to brad jones racing

00:12:43because uh next weekend if you're a v8 supercar aficionado we are going back to one of the great

00:12:48racetracks we're off to pukekoe just outside auckland in new zealand and of course with the form that

00:12:53these guys here at bjr have been putting together chances are we may well see fabian kulta where is

00:13:00he is he in the car he is in the car doing very well there and that'll be good phil keedy's engineer

00:13:04at the door just some last minute chat hey fab next weekend we're off to new zealand and it doesn't

00:13:10get much better than having a fast kiwi doing well here at the moment you've got to be looking forward

00:13:13to that i'm mega excited about going home you know obviously uh it's awesome to go home and race in

00:13:18front of a home crowd and you know get to catch up with some friends and family at the same time

00:13:22but also awesome to go off the back of you know strong results like we've had here this weekend

00:13:26great run yesterday not quite where you wanted to be in that last race have you made any tweaks now

00:13:31going into this final one today yeah hopefully to the demon ones um look we've made a couple of

00:13:35adjustments you know just make it a little bit nicer a bit nicer on its tire and hopefully we can

00:13:40tend for with frosty and thoughts about this car versus last year's car and what it is that you like

00:13:45about it that's now giving you these results and your team's all of a sudden jumped up to be very

00:13:48competitive i like it because it's new um it's uh you know it's pretty important you know last year

00:13:54we were running with older machinery i think now that we've got machinery that's the same as

00:13:59everybody else you know we're back to 11 playing field and that's why we've got our car speed back

00:14:03i'm reaching for my bit of paper because uh where did you end up qualifying going to be up the front

00:14:07starting on the front row so this is a good spot for you to be yeah it's awesome you know i've uh

00:14:11had plenty of practice off this spot you know had grid two for the last one and and for saturday so

00:14:16looking forward to getting into it go get stuck into it thanks fabian fabian coultard left foot

00:14:20breaker very different in terms of his driving style to many of the other guys bright he's just

00:14:23closed up for business here but i'll pluck the door open and say g'day quickly because he starts a

00:14:28little bit further back in this one but an awesome drive in that last run we haven't got much time

00:14:31but uh thoughts about this car it's working beautifully and the team's clicking together well

00:14:35yeah it is mate it's uh you know the car both cars have been working great all year and uh

00:14:41you know this weekend's just been exceptional to see both cars start off the front row

00:14:45you know fabian got the win in the first one and uh you know we got that one i've just been on the

00:14:49radio my engineer and uh he's giving me the collingwood scores as we go that's the important

00:14:54stuff thanks pridey and maybe it's fatherhood that's getting the job done for you as well he's

00:16:12barrettes

00:16:13well microsoft office 365 have been a great sponsor here in tasmania for this round of v8 supercar racing

00:16:23isabel boniface from microsoft offices with me isabel you've been a fan of v8 for some time it's great

00:16:28to have you here as a partner now thank you market so we have been a big fan of v8 supercars and this

00:16:34is first of all i just want to congratulate v8 supercars and also the state of tasmania on a great

00:16:40event the spirit and enthusiasm from the fans makes it very clear that this state loves their cars

00:16:46and it's been good to see so it was a good it's been a good weekend for us it is a fantastic

00:16:52partnership tell us how did it start how did this come about and how did you guys get interested in v8

00:16:56supercars well v8 supercars has actually been a customer of ours for a while um and after this

00:17:02spectacular is is all done and said at the core of it they are business um and this business has to

00:17:08pack up tomorrow morning and they have to go to the next state and the next state and even to the next

00:17:12country um and that requires great mobility and they need to be productive wherever they are

00:17:17so it takes great people great passion but it also requires great technology and that's why

00:17:23microsoft's here excellent which is what office 365 is all about isabel enjoy this race i know

00:17:27you're a mark winterbottom fan so i hope he does the right thing for you can't wait to see him on

00:17:31the podium have a great race enjoy it there you go guys well done brett well mark winterbottom will

00:17:36start from pole position so uh he's in the box seat to claim victory here as the big crowd waits they've

00:17:44been absolutely entertained this weekend australian super bikes have been on the list of course the aussie

00:17:48racing cars as well the 60 60 format yesterday and just on that microsoft office 365 have had a

00:17:55real imprint um this weekend really got behind this event in tasmania and we thank them for that

00:18:02this is a technological game and we're always on the move and that's exactly what microsoft office

00:18:07365 helps us deliver so the stage is set now for the final race boy it's been a long weekend for

00:18:16these drivers and teams case in point car 55 as we saw crompo was down there and fabian koolthar will

00:18:23remember this weekend forever the first time he claimed a v8 supercar championship win he started on

00:18:29the front row in every single race and he's not done with yet he is very comfortable in that car time for

00:18:36our national anthem performed today by cassie zabo a local performer

00:18:41australian koolthar will let us rejoice for we are young and free we've golden soil and wealth for toil

00:19:00our home is good by sea our land abounds in nature's gifts of beauty rich and rare

00:19:23and rare in history's page let every state advance australian fair

00:19:34in joyful strains then let us sing

00:19:41great great job cassie featured in the local production of greece and she's just belted out

00:19:54a great anthem to set the scene for the finale of this weekend really well supported too because

00:20:02they know what's ahead and i get the feeling that this being the final race no pit stops that

00:20:07things might get a little bit crazy out there can bradley jones racing make it three out of three

00:20:14it will be an extraordinary effort if they can do it so we will take a break and when we come back

00:20:20it's time for us to go racing race five of the championship the v8 supercars on seven

00:20:37four

00:20:56ford performance racing's mark winter bottom sits proudly on pole position for the fifth race of the

00:21:01season four races prior to this we've had four different winners craig lowndes shane van gisbergen

00:21:08fabian coultart and jason bright who will join them today or will somebody double up and let's zero in

00:21:16on the facts and figures here of simmons plains neil and just a little over 2400 meters of racetrack for

00:21:24our seven turn racetrack this afternoon 100 kilometers 42 laps is the journey rick kelly still got the

00:21:30lap record here by the barest of margins you can see the top speeds just slightly over 270 kilometers

00:21:35an hour the slower speed is at the hairpin 50 kilometers an hour tough on brakes been relatively

00:21:40easy on tires in fact when you look at the tire degradation numbers from yesterday and today

00:21:44the tires have been have been behaving very very well so it'll be interesting to see how this one

00:21:50unfolds down on the grid in the vip zone no less mark beretta with the premier two matty we were

00:21:55talking earlier about how fantastic it's been the history of motorsport in tasmania

00:21:59and premier lara giddings is here with me larry look around here in the crowds and the weather

00:22:03it is just superb oh you couldn't ask for better particularly for this style of racing

00:22:08this time of the year it's absolutely fantastic the hills just chock-a-block

00:22:12of people the atmosphere is great can't wait for this next race you've really put the state on show

00:22:17for us here this weekend but but this event too is such an important part of tasmania's sporting

00:22:21calendar this is the biggest single event really in our sporting calendar it attracts around 60 000

00:22:27people across the three days which is big for tasmania so we love our v8 supercars and it's

00:22:32great to see them still here and i do know you're a bit of a jamie wincup fan as well yeah i do like

00:22:37jamie wincup i've been on the podium with him before and i hope to see him back up there this time i get

00:22:42hope you get to present to him later on today premier thank you very much thank you down here

00:22:47with a happier james courtney on the second row of the good james uh p7 earlier today p4 mate a little

00:22:53bit of competitiveness creeping back into the team mate yeah look we uh we should have really been

00:22:57further up in both races this one this morning and yesterday we had a bit of a drama in qualifying but

00:23:02this is probably we've been in the top five majority of the running so um yeah i'm looking

00:23:06forward to this afternoon guard had a great run in the earlier race so uh we'll tear it up and grab a

00:23:11podium here hopefully as i say mate i reckon the sport's healthy when you guys are doing good hey while we're

00:23:15here just quickly pete i don't know if you can see down here i talked about the brake bias the

00:23:18brake balance before here it is here this is the thing james the hell won't touch it mate he'll play

00:23:22with this during the race and he can wind it for a raft and that's a cable connected to his brake pedal

00:23:27and it basically changes the leverage point on the brake pedal to determine how much pressure

00:23:31goes to the front or the rear good luck working that one out pal

00:23:38everybody in the commentary box larko shuddered when you went to make a few changes there and i reckon

00:23:44james is going to punch you out if you did ultra sensitive you change him a quarter of a turn and

00:23:48it changes the behavior of the car and i thought oh no yeah i thought for sure he was going to give

00:23:52it a tweak this is going to be wild you can just sense there now the last race of the weekend winner

00:23:58bottom on the front row of the grid with cool thud wink up courtney because courtney hasn't been at

00:24:03the pointy end for a little while he'll be hard to beat and mclaughlin who's done such an extraordinary

00:24:08job so far in p5 with davison so i reckon this one could be ugly down at turn four you're just on

00:24:15board there with russell ingalls super cheap auto racing commodore start from position 20 he's been

00:24:22trying to crack the nut and win here he's had two second placings came here since uh

00:24:29and here first in 1996 so he's done almost 40 races in this circuit

00:24:38cars look great don't they they so well prepared and that's an unbelievable effort

00:24:43with the bottle guys to get dave reynolds car on the grid for this event

00:24:49frosty's been good off the start this year that side of the road is the clean side of the road so

00:24:54instead of castrol ford there will be hard to beat to the first quarter

00:25:00let's have a look at the fusso starting grid for race number five hundred k's this afternoon simmons

00:25:04play its raceway and for the 26th time in his career mark winterbottom on the pole from the race

00:25:09three winner from yesterday favorite coultard and then jamie wincup our reigning champion alongside

00:25:14james courtney's having his best run since way back in 2006 here man of the match for that move

00:25:19turn six scotty mclaughlin he'll be alongside will davidson who's still not happy with car balance

00:25:24then jonathan webb and jason bright winner of race number four followed by shane van gisberg and

00:25:30david reynolds can you believe that they got that car of david reynolds out there and repaired from the

00:25:35damage it received craig lounge and garth tander side by side combined they've got 13 race victories

00:25:41at this circuit so a wealth of experience and they know how to get to the front lounge of course is not a

00:25:46happy man after the weekend that he's had further back that's alex davidson we checked in with him

00:25:52and his team boss charlie schwerkoff jill went forward david wall innocent victim down at turn

00:25:57four we've mentioned russell engel there's todd and james side by side both nissons different sponsors

00:26:05alex prema turned 31 on friday and rick kelly with murrow engel the sp tools racing mesadings

00:26:13bends with tim and johnny out of djr bringing up the rear of the grid for wilson security racing

00:26:25so what a performance from ford performance racing to get this car back out on the grid

00:26:31extraordinary just before you did that crossed me down there earlier matt they had the strings out

00:26:35for the wheel alignment which they do manually with these cars to just make sure they're right and it

00:26:39all stringed up well and i'm sure it's not absolutely pristine but they have done a remarkable

00:26:43job joining lee holdsworth erwin tools entry there the europeus motorsport v8 entry and he's been in

00:26:51the mid pack pretty much all weekend and not giving an awful lot away in lap speed to the lead cars

00:26:55here's will davidson just not convinced about getting on top of the balance with this car at the moment

00:27:00spent a little bit of time speaking with him and mark winterbottom his teammate earlier keep her rolling in

00:27:04about another meter okay stop it there perfect rob star looks after james courtney and they were

00:27:10doing a little bit of repair work at the rear of the car after the last race but he felt that they've

00:27:15been making genuine ground with the balance and behavior of the car so that he thinks that they'll

00:27:19be reasonably strong now in this one they were bleeding brakes and doing little jobs on that

00:27:23car number 22 in between the races

00:27:25hard to get the start here when the cars line up around the corner so the guys are trying to straighten

00:27:35those cars up to the best start they can so the vf commodore has won all four races to start this

00:27:40season is this the day the fg falcon gets on the board mark winterbottom for fpr starting from pole

00:27:47position cool to get a really racy start this is going to be even going to turn two the winnerbottom

00:27:54holds his nerve gets a good flyer and shoots through tire bundle attacked courtney good start

00:28:01he also got the inside was able to grab winker

00:28:09scott mclaughlin looks as though he's been outrun down to turn four by jonathan webb

00:28:14oh we've on the inside squeezes in front there's a little bit of contact between

00:28:21winkup and courtney turn four head it was only a brush it's no big deal but there was a little

00:28:27touch there not a lot of love lost between these two guys look at this cool dark looking racing at

00:28:32turn six and winterbottom covered him down there remember that at this stage the brakes are cold

00:28:37the tires have not pressured up the temperature's not up on the tires either so the cars are a bit awkward

00:28:41to drive in this first lap or two until everything comes up to normal temp

00:28:50will davison having a fair go at winkup two man all three starts from fabian

00:28:54coulthard have been great he's just been on the wrong side of the track

00:28:57that was winkup down to four from the hairpin tucked in behind courtney

00:29:14on the radio that someone ran him off on the back straight so that's van gisberg and his mate good

00:29:18ground there he's battling with mclaughlin and craig loud's ranging up in behind the two of them

00:29:22this will be pretty wild down here in turn six but mclaughlin might want to give this away

00:29:28it's on the dirty side of the road and he gets down the inside now lowndes and van gisbergen

00:29:32have a bit of history at this corner over the weekend whoa look at that entry into turn six but

00:29:38mclaughlin i don't know if he made contact with van gisbergen but it was mighty close

00:29:44good job for them to get through there and give each other some racing room that was very very

00:29:57good driving so winkup now just ranges up in behind cool thard knows that if he doesn't get

00:30:03winner bottom soon the brake performance will get knocked around once the car's in the slipstream and

00:30:09the cooling of the front brake isn't good enough then your brake performance isn't quite good

00:30:15enough then to be able to have a dive so he's going to do it early or he won't get it done

00:30:27so they feed on through fastest lap last time around belonged to mark winner bottom 52.4 so that's

00:30:32what happened to scott mclaughlin he got swamped at the start jason bright went around him jonathan

00:30:38webb went on the inside of him

00:30:46it's extraordinary how they all get through side by side here of the teammates

00:30:53james moffett on the right with todd kelly on the left

00:30:57that's not good i think that might it may have been why todd was complaining there a little bit i think

00:31:03he was complaining about the run up the back straight with mario engel gave him a bit of a run

00:31:07around so that's suddenly a bit of a diffuser part of the rear bumper assembly from one of the cars

00:31:12has come unglued there they're headed towards that spot down there at turn seven

00:31:17scott pyre with lee holdsworth and tony dalberto behind him

00:31:21this is going to be pretty lively because lee's on the wrong side of the road as they go up over the

00:31:29rise for turn one he's going to be able to stay there will dalberto turn in two of them get in

00:31:34there okay that was good driving from both those guys and now davison pulls up in behind slay very

00:31:40close to contact there russell engel in behind alex davison safety car so we've got that debris on

00:31:48the racetrack will trigger a safety car you can't have something of that size sitting on the racetrack

00:31:53so race director tim schenken has just called that and they'll all get the message

00:32:10and he looked as though it might have been off one of the mercs maybe tim slade the result is the

00:32:16petters stp safety car has been deployed the field will be compressed so we'll take a quick break

00:32:26welcome back well the debris has been cleared from down at turn seven but uh david reynolds

00:32:33patched up car has come unstuck so he's been showing a mechanical flag and we'll have to go through

00:32:38pit lane on the restart and it's such a stellar job to get this thing back together and it was looking

00:32:46brand new but you can't do everything in such a short period of time so the petters stp chrysler

00:32:51safety car pulls away it leaves mark winterbottom in control everybody ordered to be on their best

00:32:57behavior for the restart so this is your order winterbottom coulthard courtney then jamie winkup

00:33:05will davison jason bright

00:33:10started from position eight he's up to six and this is cool fast chance he's got to make this restart

00:33:16as good as he possibly can he's done a good job through the final corner and that's a good job they

00:33:21got away a little bit on courtney and winkup that's as good as you can expect when you're the lead

00:33:26driver you can basically put the throttle on whenever you like so we got a little jump

00:33:31winterbottom courtney winkup just in behind the two front runners

00:33:37is fabian close enough will he have a dive early on down here at turn four probably not this time

00:33:42so single file almost van gisbergen tucked in close it's amazing the difference between a couple of

00:33:53races based on qualifying position as lounge and van gisbergen get back into it here tander was racy in

00:33:58the last one because he qualified so poorly he's getting the whack at the moment look at this so these

00:34:03guys were at it in race number three yesterday at this time van gisbergen prevails down the inside at

00:34:09turn six

00:34:13so it emphasizes mark the point about how critical qualifying is so tander who did such a great job

00:34:19in grace number four starts further back in this one finds himself in that mid-pack battling so hard

00:34:25to clear the traffic certainly is and he was having a bumping duel with scott pie on the way out of turn

00:34:31four or in turn four on the previous lap so van gisbergen goes across the cover but he's moved it over in

00:34:37the braking area there's a lot of chat about this because you can't move the car over once you've

00:34:42committed to the braking area there was drama here last year with clowns and davison that's a big move

00:34:48there from van gisbergen they couldn't go anywhere mclaughlin and lounge were parked up

00:34:53so van gisbergen took a bit of a punt and went down the inside got away with that but then he blocked

00:35:00lounge on the previous lap into turn four

00:35:07as you see qualifying here is just so important it's so hard to pass

00:35:14guys have been a bit more contained than i thought they would be i

00:35:16thought there'd be more drama at turn four russell ingalls come to the pit lane there as well in the super

00:35:21cheap car you can see him way off in the background here he is so i don't know what the drama is here

00:35:26for rusty he's got a puncture

00:35:33and here we go oh that's uh russell was involved there somewhere with tim slave

00:35:38and there's obviously a few cars involved in that so maybe somewhere on the line he's copped a

00:35:42puncture in that process you can hear matt crawford good call scoffy just standing next to

00:35:48next to russell's car he's actually got a hole it's ripped the side of the uh side wall of his

00:35:52front left tire there so that's obviously a result of contact yeah well done larko and that's um

00:35:58that's a bit unfortunate because he's had a tough weekend he's

00:36:02forming the early part of the year has been very good and this weekend when tanda

00:36:05and courtney run out of the same garage effectively have been very competitive russell hasn't found the

00:36:11sweet spot for his car over the weekend and that's the damage you can see there now we're on

00:36:15board now with winkup as he's right up in behind we're just up in front you can see courtney of

00:36:21courtyard and winder bottom winkup's trying to get by courtney

00:36:26he returned russell's car back to their adelaide settings because remember he jumped out of the

00:36:30truck for the glipsel 500 and we all remarked how competitive he was there's bright getting stuck

00:36:35into it with will davison here as well it's a shame we won't get to see russell now after that tire damage

00:36:42to see whether or not that setup change helped him jonathan webb down the inside will davis and

00:36:46contact that's awkward in that spot

00:36:55bright's cleared himself with that angry pack

00:36:58yeah that was a good move he needed to get by he did a good job on board now with scott mclaughlin

00:37:03right up behind jonathan webb webb dive down the inside i thought that was going to be a drama with

00:37:10will davison now van gisbergen tries to get down the outside of scott mclaughlin they're all alongside

00:37:18each other there's a bit of an overlap they come out of there clean so lounges behind tander is the next

00:37:24car that's the top 11 cars and ingles also radio to say there's further problems for the front left

00:37:31hand corner of that car

00:37:380.2 of a second is the official margin winter bottom to coulthard then courtney went cut bright

00:37:44this is a brewing battle this one this pack here it's pretty tightly squeezed at the moment

00:37:49it's headed up by davison

00:37:51oh this is on board here with jamie

00:37:58so look for wink up here he'll look to the inside but there's never any room because

00:38:01inevitably the guy in front covers which in this case is courtney

00:38:05they're all doing it moved it over in the braking area also so

00:38:10lucky so far to not have further contact once you put your foot on the brake at the hairpin and the car

00:38:15in front moves across you are definitely going to make contact in the braking area if that's like

00:38:20that that's matt crawford bryce seals just looking at the left hand front look at the pressure that

00:38:27fabian's putting on frosty and that's something that frosty remarked on in between races four and

00:38:32five in race four he qualified seventh and finished six and he just said to me he was racing the whole

00:38:38time he was in battles the whole way also said to us when we were there matt that uh he was finding

00:38:44that the brakes were hurting a bit as well you guys are still gapping everyone else it looks really

00:38:48well to keep it up so the microsoft office 365 last four laps shows three out of four green boxes for

00:38:54fabian numbers don't lie on that subject of brakes radio message it's a favorite then you're going to have

00:39:01to be easier on the brakes seeing big brake temperatures and that message you just heard

00:39:08then was to jason bright so both of them it's because that car on screen is ingesting hugely

00:39:13hot air from the preceding car as well as it being the second toughest track on brakes on the tour

00:39:20so once they get much above 900 degrees they'll start to fade at the fronts then you lock the rear

00:39:25brakes and you have a problem pulling up at the hairpin that was his chance then that was the closest that

00:39:30he's been into turn six that was his opportunity come off the off the hair pit at turn four mark

00:39:36larkin explained the racing lines there before and the way he got off the corner was very good he was

00:39:42in the slipstream and he got right up as close as you need to be

00:39:48maybe a missed opportunity there for fabian look how close they are at the hair pit so that's the

00:39:53exit first gear to second and you've got to get the drive off the corner

00:39:57courtney is struggling a little bit for rear grip

00:40:03now that's back to bright so from wing cups car the car that's in fifth position is jason bright

00:40:10a previous race winner see the amount of flutter at the rear of the bonnet on

00:40:15wind cups there in the buffeted air from james's car

00:40:18jamie chases third gear a bit longer through turn six seven than many of them he didn't do the

00:40:26really super short shift grabbing fourth gear earlier so the car balance must be pretty good

00:40:31to handle that to chase it further up through the torque and horsepower range to be able to cope with

00:40:36without the car winding sideways

00:40:41he's got to try and do something here about courtney and he's got to try and do it cleanly because if

00:40:47he doesn't he's going to have a real problem here with jason bryan who's cleared himself of that

00:40:51next group of cars having qualified down the order as we said when we chatted on

00:40:57the pit apron before things got started

00:40:59so he's one of the guys that by comparison to his run in the last race

00:41:04qualifying has really burned him in this event despite having a quick car

00:41:12yeah russell was just a part of the pit lane again they had a good look around good shake

00:41:16of things couldn't find anything obvious i mean sometimes when you have three hot tires and you put

00:41:21one cold tire with a lesser pressure on can make the car feel kind of weird russell's pretty experienced

00:41:26he'd know that so uh nothing obvious at the moment yeah i heard him say that there was something

00:41:32weird about it matt crawford was talking about is the steering straight that's normally the first

00:41:36indicator of whether there's further damage if the steering isn't straight or not the enforcers back

00:41:43out there we know one thing he will never give up mark winterbottom looks to just to put a little

00:41:47bit of fresh air in between him and fabian coolpart who was on maximum attack over the last five laps

00:41:53frosty trying to chase down for its first win of the season

00:42:02for such a short circuit it can do some real damage this place this is dean fiore

00:42:07in the dodo entry damage to the front right of that commodore so we're approaching the halfway mark

00:42:15of this fifth race and this little battle between john o webb and scott mclaughlin continues

00:42:24shane van gisberg and is watching patiently probably impatiently

00:42:28or to the point behind waiting for something to unfold so that's positions seven eight and nine and

00:42:33the last lap the fastest guy appropriately was the leader mark winterbottom he's still in the low 52s

00:42:39he's actually skipped the margin out slightly in that break and here's murrow engel who went off

00:42:42the road at turn six in the pit lane the gap is actually out to 0.8 now winterbottom to coolthard

00:42:49here's what happened to him he ran wide at six and that will have done damage to that tyre set

00:42:56and in he comes so a couple of guys have done a very good job alex premer has made the most

00:43:02amount of ground he's made eight positions starting 24th up to 16th scott pie four spots and rick kelly

00:43:11up 25th very good job six positions for whatever reason i just asked a second ago todd kelly now

00:43:18he's got some drama went on to like six cylinders oh that's not good news they're out of spare engines

00:43:24they're talking about not seeing any data on the telemetry that gives them an indication or a

00:43:40hint as to what the problem may be so todd's taking the opportunity to pull it off rather

00:43:44than let it hammer itself to death they've got a very short turnaround now they're going to have

00:43:49to replenish their engine stock for next weekend in new zealand

00:43:53so it's 0.87 of a second so winterbottom's actually easing away now from coolthard fastest

00:43:58man in the first sector on this lap it's actually james courtney who's done the best time we've seen

00:44:02all race long so hard to imagine then when you're this far into the race that your tyres have still

00:44:07got that level of performance in them but they have this little battle here continues to

00:44:13represent a nice little point of friction because pride is just annoying the back of wind cup at the

00:44:20moment so jamie cannot afford to relax and incidentally we were making reference to him a moment ago but

00:44:28it was a happy birthday on friday for alex premier premier 31 years of age

00:44:32the fastest laps

00:44:44who with a 52 07 just made a little bit of ground still

00:44:47around a second behind

00:44:50Winterbottom, they've been trading those laps

00:44:52Courtney did a very good

00:44:54first sector that Neil made reference to before

00:44:5652.19

00:44:58Alex Premmer

00:45:00down in the garage between races

00:45:02he hasn't been able to get a handle on the new

00:45:04car and obviously

00:45:05McLaughlin's been going very well

00:45:08in this race, he's only about one tenth of a second

00:45:10slower than his team mate, so they've made

00:45:12an improvement to that car today for sure

00:45:14Scafie, I'm standing down here at what is

00:45:16one of the best places in Australian motorsport

00:45:18to view a V8 supercar

00:45:20coming off turn 7 and the

00:45:22commitment we talk about here, these guys

00:45:24behind me here are coming through here

00:45:26at 100% throttle and they make

00:45:28that commitment way back over

00:45:30there at turn 6 coming off the main straight

00:45:32now funny story, because they do that

00:45:34they end up, a lot of them in the dirt

00:45:36throws up a lot of dust we've seen which is

00:45:38quite dangerous, so during the course of

00:45:40the event they've actually put some rocks down

00:45:42there, like some aggregates, some road aggregates

00:45:44and I walked over here a second ago

00:45:46stuck my head out, there's one went off

00:45:47and I got sprayed by rocks and I had to duck

00:45:50down like an idiot, you know as a kid when you go

00:45:52to the speedway and you sort of, why isn't anyone

00:45:53sitting up in the first three rows of the seats

00:45:55so down you go with your hot dog

00:45:56full of dirt

00:45:58we don't feel sorry for you either

00:46:05that's the thing, that's why we're laughing

00:46:06so 165 kilometres an hour where Mark Larkin was just standing

00:46:12one of the best corners in Australian motorsport, really committed, used every bit of the road

00:46:16and then up and over that rise

00:46:18turn 1 and 2

00:46:19and that speed reference you make is the slowest corner in the middle of the corner

00:46:23so they only just touched that ever so briefly

00:46:25and everything after that is all acceleration through turn 7

00:46:29that's the slowest, so that's more than 100 miles an hour in the old language

00:46:33so they're fairly honking along there at the moment

00:46:35look at Bright

00:46:36and consider the brake temps on the front of that car

00:46:38and he's already been warned about it

00:46:40just to try and get some cool air in the front

00:46:41so he's very close to the back of Winkup

00:46:44these guys are only 3.6 seconds

00:46:47off the lead of the race

00:46:48or specifically this man

00:46:50so it's not a very big margin

00:46:52first to fifth

00:46:55someone's coming in for tyres on this lap

00:46:57Tim Blanchard

00:46:58so he must have hurt the tyres

00:47:01maybe locked up somewhere

00:47:02Alex Davison spoke to him before the start of the race

00:47:05he's up the inside of Lee Holdsworth here

00:47:07that's for position 14 for Alex

00:47:11and he got through and he's got it done

00:47:13so again Holdsworth finds himself

00:47:15almost smack bang in the middle of the field

00:47:17in the Irwin tools of Mercedes

00:47:18there's his team owner

00:47:25Charlie Schwerkolt

00:47:26who is a former co-owner of Dick Johnson Racing

00:47:29Campbell Little in the foreground

00:47:30engineer for Alex

00:47:32we've got a bit more rubbish up on the road there

00:47:35in the braking area into four

00:47:37there's a bit of stuff coming adrift there

00:47:39it's when we get all that nose to tail stuff

00:47:41this is Tim Blanchard

00:47:45Wilson Security Racing

00:47:46in the Dick Johnson entry

00:47:48so I'm guessing that they flat spotted

00:47:50he actually had contact with somebody up there hasn't he

00:47:54pit lane's clear mate

00:47:55the right front is completely fucked

00:47:57pit lane is clear

00:48:00look at this Bright

00:48:02on to the back of Wing Cup

00:48:04big time now

00:48:04he's going to have a bit of a look at him

00:48:05when they get down to the hairpin

00:48:06remember this is all sprint racing

00:48:08there are no pit stops

00:48:10other than those that you're forced to take

00:48:12because of an issue

00:48:13which is what we just saw

00:48:14I've just been looking at the sector times

00:48:16and overall lap times

00:48:17for the entire top ten

00:48:19as Bright has a big dig on the inside

00:48:20but locks it up

00:48:21so Wing Cup gets away with that one

00:48:24the intention was clear

00:48:26and the point was that there's basically no difference in sector times

00:48:31and overall lap times for the entire top ten

00:48:34over the last four or five laps

00:48:37that was Andrew Edwards engineer

00:48:39encouraging Jason Bright

00:48:41but Jason really had to apply

00:48:43some brake pressure there

00:48:44in an awkward spot in the corner

00:48:46which locked up the inside front

00:48:48and carried that tyre

00:48:49he can't afford a flat spot

00:48:50when he is having a crack there

00:48:52and remember guys

00:48:54that gap was almost a second

00:48:56with Winterbottom to Coulthard

00:48:58it's now 0.5

00:48:59it was 0.3 on the previous lap

00:49:01this is on

00:49:02welcome back

00:49:14commercial free now

00:49:15to the end of this race

00:49:16on 7 Sport

00:49:17zeroing in on position 7

00:49:20of Jonathan Webb

00:49:21our race leader

00:49:21continues to be Mark Winterbottom

00:49:23who is slugging it out

00:49:25with Fabian Coulthard at the front

00:49:26and Jason Bright

00:49:27has been slugging it out

00:49:28with Jamie Winkup

00:49:29and it continues

00:49:31but yet again

00:49:32Advantage Winkup

00:49:34out of turn four

00:49:34one of the things

00:49:36that's really interesting

00:49:37I saw it a lap earlier

00:49:38is what

00:49:39it might be colour scheme

00:49:40but the apparent difference

00:49:41in front ride height

00:49:42between the Red Bull car

00:49:43and the Team BOC car

00:49:45of Jason Bright

00:49:46it looks like the gap

00:49:47between the front guard

00:49:49and the wheels

00:49:49much higher on Jason's car

00:49:51there might be an illusion

00:49:52which occasionally you see

00:49:53with different paint schemes

00:49:54but there's a lot of pitch

00:49:55in that car of Bradley's

00:49:57it really tips itself rearward

00:49:59and it's just very

00:50:01you can see

00:50:02if you really studied

00:50:03the front of both

00:50:04these cars carefully

00:50:05you can see a different

00:50:06rate with which they

00:50:07longitudinally lay back

00:50:09pitch to the back

00:50:10of the car

00:50:10and the ride height gap

00:50:13the relationship

00:50:14of the front wing

00:50:14to the road

00:50:15between the two of them

00:50:16so they're set up

00:50:17very differently

00:50:18and that's the first time

00:50:19I've really picked it up

00:50:20it's very noticeable

00:50:21on both those BJR cars

00:50:23a lot more

00:50:24sort of speedboat

00:50:25if you have a look

00:50:25right now

00:50:26the front of the

00:50:27Triple Eight car

00:50:28stays there

00:50:28and that one comes up

00:50:29yeah the air gap

00:50:30under the Team BOC car

00:50:32there at the moment

00:50:32relative

00:50:33and it's not just

00:50:34happening at the front

00:50:35it's also squatting

00:50:36a lot in the rear

00:50:36to achieve it

00:50:37so very different

00:50:38philosophy for some reason

00:50:39between those two teams

00:50:41guys the learning curve

00:50:42for Erebus Motorsport

00:50:43have been pretty close

00:50:44to vertical over time

00:50:45and at the moment

00:50:46Lee Holdsworth

00:50:46sitting in 15th spot

00:50:48and that will be

00:50:48their best result

00:50:49of the five races

00:50:50so far this season

00:50:51Ross Stone is in the bunker

00:50:52Ross Lee doing

00:50:53the right thing

00:50:54going well

00:50:54yeah he's actually

00:50:55doing a really good job

00:50:56it's hard work for him

00:50:58but he's doing

00:51:00everything he can

00:51:00to get there

00:51:02and we've just

00:51:02got to hang in there

00:51:03until we get an

00:51:04engine upgrade

00:51:05for Perth

00:51:06Ross happy birthday

00:51:07for earlier in the week

00:51:08260th

00:51:09congratulations

00:51:10massive crash

00:51:11sorry we're going to

00:51:12have to come back

00:51:13to you there

00:51:13that's Scott Pye

00:51:14that's a massive crash

00:51:15he's gone straight ahead

00:51:16at turn two

00:51:17and made very very

00:51:18heavy impact

00:51:19with the outside wall

00:51:20there's guard rail

00:51:21let's listen

00:51:23yeah okay

00:51:24sorry

00:51:25I was pumping it

00:51:26as much as I could

00:51:26it was okay

00:51:28yeah completely fine

00:51:29when he says pumping

00:51:30he's talking about

00:51:31pumping the brakes

00:51:32so he's had some

00:51:33brake issue down there

00:51:34this is a

00:51:34Lucas Dumbrell

00:51:36Motorsport entry

00:51:37driven by Scott Pye

00:51:38that is a massive accident

00:51:43when they go headlong

00:51:44into a wall like that

00:51:45the forces that go

00:51:47through the chassis

00:51:48are extreme

00:51:49fortunately it's okay

00:51:50Porsche medical car there

00:51:56with Dr Carl Lee

00:51:57running over to see

00:51:59Scott's okay

00:52:01that's very much

00:52:02a straight on

00:52:03and it's

00:52:05from the sound

00:52:06of that radio

00:52:06communication

00:52:07it's been a brake

00:52:08failure of some

00:52:08description

00:52:09whether that's a

00:52:10front brake rotor

00:52:11explosion

00:52:12or a hydraulic

00:52:14problem

00:52:15this is going to be a

00:52:16shot now

00:52:17you can see straight

00:52:18ahead

00:52:18hasn't retarded at all

00:52:20and bang in

00:52:22that's as heavy

00:52:23front impact

00:52:24as we've seen

00:52:25for a long time

00:52:27lucky not to flip

00:52:28over here

00:52:29you watch the force

00:52:31of this impact

00:52:32and what it does

00:52:33to the Ecole Commodore

00:52:36nose first

00:52:37flips right up

00:52:39and the crowd

00:52:45understandably

00:52:46are scared of that one

00:52:50it's the biggest one

00:52:52that Scott Pye will ever

00:52:53have

00:52:53some people just

00:52:57can't watch

00:52:58that's a nasty image

00:53:02here it is again

00:53:03listen

00:53:04just listen

00:53:05so it's skating

00:53:12through the gravel

00:53:13why it's skating

00:53:14through there

00:53:15we heard Scott say

00:53:16I was pumping

00:53:18I was pumping

00:53:18kind of suggests

00:53:19that there's either

00:53:20a suspension

00:53:21or a brake failure

00:53:21we'll get on top of it

00:53:23that was David Couchy

00:53:25the little guy

00:53:26that was in the front

00:53:27of shot in the garage

00:53:27he's normally

00:53:28the data analysis

00:53:30man

00:53:31at triple eight

00:53:33so he's in there

00:53:33helping that team

00:53:34look at the images there

00:53:36I've never seen

00:53:39a car go

00:53:40as high that way

00:53:41and it basically

00:53:44arrived like that

00:53:45didn't it

00:53:46because when it

00:53:46actually made contact

00:53:47it was already

00:53:47very nose down

00:53:48let's hope Scott's okay

00:53:52there's the brake

00:53:52master cylinders

00:53:53you can actually

00:53:53see there

00:53:54in that crumpled

00:53:54under the bonnet

00:53:57area

00:53:57so Lucas

00:53:59Dumbrell there

00:53:59the owner

00:54:00of the team

00:54:00Paul Morris

00:54:02Scott's just

00:54:0323 years of age

00:54:04in his first

00:54:05full time

00:54:06V8 supercar gig

00:54:08yeah and I'm down

00:54:09here with Brendan

00:54:09Hogan

00:54:10sorry mate

00:54:11Scotty's

00:54:11engineer

00:54:12mate

00:54:13any indications

00:54:14prior to that

00:54:14happening

00:54:15of this

00:54:16may have been

00:54:17going to happen

00:54:17any issues

00:54:18any feedback

00:54:18yeah he said

00:54:19there was a little

00:54:20drama with the

00:54:20brakes going

00:54:21along but

00:54:21yeah he said

00:54:22he was pumping

00:54:23it up and it

00:54:23was coming good

00:54:24and it looks

00:54:24like on the

00:54:25telemetry it's

00:54:26just had like a

00:54:26failure in the

00:54:27front brakes

00:54:28so

00:54:28just looking at

00:54:30it mate

00:54:30it didn't retard

00:54:31much speed

00:54:32it wasn't a

00:54:33throttle on it

00:54:33was actually

00:54:33no brakes

00:54:34yeah definitely

00:54:35a no brake

00:54:36alright mate

00:54:37and in cases

00:54:37like that

00:54:38you saw when

00:54:39Scott got out

00:54:39he had that

00:54:40device around

00:54:41the back of

00:54:41his neck

00:54:42there attached

00:54:42to his helmet

00:54:43which is a

00:54:43hands device

00:54:44or FHR

00:54:45frontal head

00:54:46restraint

00:54:46great device

00:54:47in instances

00:54:48like that

00:54:48it's the

00:54:49acceleration

00:54:50that the

00:54:51driver experiences

00:54:52and with the

00:54:53extra weight

00:54:54of the helmet

00:54:54on his neck

00:54:54let's just

00:54:55have a quiet

00:54:55look at this

00:54:56again

00:54:56so right at

00:55:06that point

00:55:07the load

00:55:07in Scott's

00:55:08neck

00:55:08and helmet

00:55:10is extreme

00:55:10and so the

00:55:11device that

00:55:12Mark Larkham

00:55:13is making

00:55:13reference to

00:55:14there dampens

00:55:14that forward

00:55:15force

00:55:16and protects

00:55:18him together

00:55:19with the

00:55:19six point

00:55:19harness

00:55:20and the

00:55:21FIA approved

00:55:22seat that

00:55:22the drivers

00:55:22are in

00:55:23collapsible

00:55:24steering column

00:55:25for car of

00:55:25the future

00:55:26as well

00:55:26also helps

00:55:27to protect

00:55:28the drivers

00:55:28so they're

00:55:29encased in

00:55:30something of

00:55:31a safety

00:55:31cell

00:55:31I've never

00:55:32seen a car

00:55:33go in there

00:55:33before have you

00:55:34in all the

00:55:34years I've

00:55:35never seen a

00:55:35car in that

00:55:36arm car

00:55:36I've seen

00:55:37them wobble

00:55:37off down

00:55:38there because

00:55:38it's a

00:55:38popular spot

00:55:39to outbrake

00:55:39yourself but

00:55:40not to the

00:55:40extent that

00:55:41it's hit the

00:55:42wall

00:55:42and they'll

00:55:43have to use

00:55:43a spare

00:55:44because that

00:55:44car is sourced

00:55:45from triple

00:55:46eight they'll

00:55:47be looking to

00:55:47use a spare

00:55:48car from

00:55:49triple eight to

00:55:50get to New

00:55:51Zealand for

00:55:51next weekend

00:55:52it's also going

00:55:53to be a drama

00:55:54trying to clear

00:55:54this car at the

00:55:55moment as well

00:55:56which raises the

00:55:57spectre of when

00:55:58this race will

00:55:59race will be

00:56:00declared because

00:56:01it's a time

00:56:02certain finish

00:56:03at 15 minutes

00:56:04past the hour

00:56:05plus one lap

00:56:05and we're

00:56:06approaching eight

00:56:07minutes past the

00:56:08hour local

00:56:09time

00:56:09the good news

00:56:15the good news is of

00:56:16course is that

00:56:16Scott is out of

00:56:18the car

00:56:18and you just

00:56:21know with impacts

00:56:22of that magnitude

00:56:24the reason why Tim bumps

00:56:40the speed up is

00:56:41because these cars

00:56:41unlike your road car

00:56:42don't have a fan in

00:56:44them to help cool

00:56:45yesterday for example

00:56:46at that restart where

00:56:47the cars were down

00:56:48around 60 kilometers

00:56:49an hour almost

00:56:50universally down the

00:56:51pit lane there was a

00:56:52cry about the engine

00:56:53temperature because the

00:56:53water temperature goes

00:56:54off the scale without

00:56:55the airflow through the

00:56:56front of the car so

00:56:57what he's doing is out

00:56:59of harm's way when

00:57:00he's not in this

00:57:01danger zone where the

00:57:02work's being done with

00:57:03importantly officials on

00:57:05the racetrack which is

00:57:06an incredibly important

00:57:07consideration he brings

00:57:08the speed up and then

00:57:09when the safety car comes

00:57:10back round to this

00:57:11caution zone he'll bring

00:57:12the speed back down

00:57:13again on the pedis

00:57:14STP safety car so

00:57:15that's the reason why

00:57:17he's just increasing it

00:57:18to 100 kilometers now

00:57:19it looks incredibly slow

00:57:19though doesn't it

00:57:20it's the legal road

00:57:22limit there he is

00:57:25in the center of that

00:57:27frame former

00:57:47say he's proposing to

00:57:48start this at the end

00:57:50of this lap and he

00:57:52wants to get this show

00:57:53back on the road

00:57:54that's a great job by the

00:57:55recovery crew because

00:57:57we'd only just said 60

00:57:58seconds earlier that this

00:57:59could be a drama but

00:58:00they've done a ripper job

00:58:01of actually getting that

00:58:02car up and on the flatbed

00:58:04truck and tested off the

00:58:05side and we say this

00:58:08repeatedly on tour but for

00:58:10good reason but a big

00:58:11shout out to all of our

00:58:12volunteer officials who

00:58:14man all of these

00:58:16facilities around the

00:58:17country and internationally

00:58:17they do a huge job

00:58:18the flag is the fire

00:58:24marshals the intervention

00:58:25marshals there's an

00:58:26enormous team of people

00:58:27that bring the show

00:58:28together and it's

00:58:30volunteer work and they

00:58:31do a huge job

00:58:31Neil if I could just

00:58:32quickly show you I've

00:58:33managed to grab a

00:58:33hands-to-vice down on the

00:58:34pit lane so here it is

00:58:35obviously the head

00:58:36driver's neck goes up

00:58:37between there these

00:58:38little tethers attached

00:58:39to little pivot points

00:58:40on the either side of

00:58:41your helmet and this

00:58:42sits under your belt so

00:58:44obviously in a forward

00:58:45impact and these don't

00:58:46work sideways they only

00:58:47work I think about 30

00:58:47degrees by the side but

00:58:49in that instance where

00:58:49Scott went in there that

00:58:51would have been a

00:58:51life saver

00:58:51thanks Larko

00:58:53indeed it is and it's

00:58:55already had a positive

00:58:56impact globally on race

00:58:58driver safety

00:58:59so we're getting ready

00:59:02for a restart now

00:59:03just a few minutes ago

00:59:06Mark Winterbottom would

00:59:07never have thought that

00:59:08he'd be in this position

00:59:09with what will be five

00:59:10full running laps to go

00:59:12and look at Fabian

00:59:13Coulthard

00:59:13the Lockwood Commodore

00:59:15is trying to stick like

00:59:17blue to the back of the

00:59:19Pepsi Max board

00:59:19he knows that this is his

00:59:21one and only shot here

00:59:23he's got to stay close

00:59:24it's a dash to the finish

00:59:26the drama's not done with

00:59:28yet

00:59:28at Simmons Plains

00:59:30so much at stake

00:59:35Winterbottom

00:59:36trying to land

00:59:37Ford's

00:59:37first victory of the

00:59:39season

00:59:39Coulthard

00:59:42can he deliver a clean

00:59:43sweep of Brad Jones

00:59:45racing

00:59:45oh

00:59:48off the road for Davey

00:59:49remember he was out of

00:59:51sequence

00:59:52he got away with it

00:59:55Tanda

00:59:56just got by

00:59:57Lowndes

00:59:57Lowndes had a drama

00:59:58there

00:59:58looks like a gearbox

01:00:00issue there for Craig

01:00:01I have no idea

01:00:03JJ

01:00:04I was in first gear

01:00:06and it just popped

01:00:07and spluttered

01:00:08so it was an engine

01:00:10thing

01:00:10it was in first gear

01:00:11and just popped

01:00:11and spluttered

01:00:12so very good restart

01:00:14for Fabian

01:00:15right up behind

01:00:16Mark Winterbottom

01:00:17with only a couple

01:00:18of laps to run

01:00:18pressure on also

01:00:21for Courtney

01:00:22with Winkup

01:00:22reignites this battle

01:00:30between Bright

01:00:30and Winkup as well

01:00:31Courtney's got a tiny bit

01:00:33of extra margin

01:00:33but watch Coulthard again

01:00:35up in the hairpin

01:00:35he's trying to force

01:00:37a gap down the inside

01:00:39only gets it up there

01:00:40this time

01:00:40and block passes

01:00:42and done

01:00:42nice work

01:00:43well done

01:00:44the Kiwi

01:00:45Fabian Coulthard

01:00:46grabs the lead

01:00:47race number 5

01:00:48and he's got

01:00:49a big margin

01:00:50in fact growing

01:00:50does Winterbottom

01:00:51have a problem

01:00:51or has it taken

01:00:52a moment to recover

01:00:53you can get him

01:00:54I think it's the

01:00:55latter Crumpot

01:00:56he just jagged

01:00:58and weaved

01:00:58on the exit

01:00:59of turn 4 there

01:01:00Mark Winterbottom

01:01:01but he knew

01:01:03that Coulthard

01:01:05took the dive

01:01:06what an extraordinary

01:01:08turn of events

01:01:09didn't think he could

01:01:10make that stick

01:01:11but he got

01:01:13enough of the nose

01:01:14up there

01:01:14and then Winterbottom

01:01:15gave him some space

01:01:16there was some contact

01:01:17now he's got to

01:01:21hang on to it

01:01:21can he do

01:01:22he's got a margin

01:01:23over the next group

01:01:24so there are two

01:01:25distinct battles here

01:01:26Coulthard and Winterbottom

01:01:27and then the next

01:01:27argument involves

01:01:28Courtney Winkup

01:01:29and Bright

01:01:29and Will Davison

01:01:32but Winterbottom may

01:01:34return serve here

01:01:35don't write him off

01:01:36because if he dives

01:01:38down the inside

01:01:39in a similar move

01:01:40even if you make

01:01:41a little bit of contact

01:01:41you're on the right

01:01:42side of the road

01:01:43for turn 6

01:01:44so don't write him

01:01:45off yet

01:01:46James Small just said

01:01:47to Mark Winterbottom

01:01:48you can get him

01:01:49mate

01:01:49you can get him

01:01:50he is coming back

01:01:54closer

01:01:54remember

01:01:54just after the move

01:01:55there was quite a gap

01:01:57I thought for a minute

01:01:57there may have been

01:01:58an upshift issue

01:01:59or something

01:01:59with Winterbottom

01:02:00because all of a sudden

01:02:01he seemed to lose

01:02:01a bit of ground

01:02:02some of it was corner

01:02:03exit speed

01:02:04momentum no doubt

01:02:05so the gap is

01:02:06officially half a second

01:02:08but it's on here

01:02:09for this battle

01:02:09for third at the moment

01:02:10Courtney's got the edge

01:02:11Bright is pushing

01:02:13Winkup hard

01:02:14Winkup is trying

01:02:15to lasso

01:02:16James Courtney

01:02:17a championship leader

01:02:19in car one

01:02:20the Red Bull Racing

01:02:21Commodore is trying

01:02:22to get yet another

01:02:23podium finish

01:02:23Courtney's holding on

01:02:27as Bright looks

01:02:27on the inside

01:02:28and when you take

01:02:30that tight line

01:02:31you get a lot of

01:02:32wheel spin on the exit

01:02:33and it makes it

01:02:34difficult to launch

01:02:35so Bright got up there

01:02:36but there's nowhere

01:02:36to go on the other

01:02:37side of it

01:02:38a little bit of

01:02:38flutter on the front

01:02:39wing also of

01:02:40Jamie Winkup's car

01:02:41I noticed under

01:02:42brakes going into

01:02:43turn four

01:02:43one of the things

01:02:45we've seen already

01:02:46this year

01:02:46and this is the

01:02:47fifth race of the

01:02:48championship

01:02:48we're seeing a lot

01:02:49of variety

01:02:50so these cars

01:02:52are all scrambled up

01:02:53race to race

01:02:54qualifying to

01:02:55qualifying

01:02:55so we're seeing

01:02:56lots of people

01:02:56have big weekends

01:02:57here

01:02:58Courtney's having

01:02:58one at the moment

01:02:59can he stay on

01:03:00the podium

01:03:01he's got Winkup

01:03:02all over the back

01:03:03of it and there's

01:03:04a little bit of

01:03:04contact here at

01:03:05two

01:03:06the battle's not

01:03:09done with up the

01:03:10front either

01:03:13lap to go

01:03:14a big lock up

01:03:15for Mark

01:03:16Winterbottom

01:03:16as he tries to go

01:03:17as deep as he can

01:03:18Jason Bright goes

01:03:20deep

01:03:20Courtney has them

01:03:22climbing all over

01:03:23him for this final

01:03:24spot on the podium

01:03:25he got him round the

01:03:27outside at turn four

01:03:28he completely rounded

01:03:29him up

01:03:29they're pretty excited

01:03:32at Brad Jones racing

01:03:33because Fabian Coulthard

01:03:35is going to get away

01:03:35with a big lock up

01:03:36for Frosty

01:03:40will he make it

01:03:41home

01:03:41he's going to have

01:03:42no corner speed

01:03:43in the final corner

01:03:44the winner will be
