Apparently, car 77 (Marshall) went to the track, unpacked then packed up and left according to sources.

Another TKR or something major like it was the wrong car they took to the race meeting?

You won't get sponsors by not racing.

Well done to Whincup and Will Davison. Tander drove well to with Lowndes and Caruso.

What about the bad luck stories of Holdsworth and Courtney. Just when we had drivers competing with Whincup this happens.

I hate it. And yet again at a new circuit where anything can happen we again have a boring 1-2-3-4 domination of Team Vodafone and HRT.

Nothing changes, anywhere. No matter whether we have a new circuit or it's at Bathurst we always have one of those teams up the front.

Was it a mistake for the track to be made on plans from other tracks. Instead of creating Townsville as its own unique

circuit. Everyone has been saying such and such corner is a replica of the albert park circuit. So when we get to sydney

at the end of the year is it going to be another copy of other tracks instead of being a track with it's own identity.

About the money, of course the big teams are going to be up the front. GRM is only a small and young team so they are doing a great job.

Townsville is simply perfect in my honest opinion. It changed up the grid in qualifying to, who would have guessed two fresh faces up on the front row.
