I typically don't find money in the kitty litter either.

Usually previously digested lengths of string, and the like.

I guess no-one told Bargs and Brown

Aussies lock out the front row.

The races could be a different story.

Could GRMs TCR cars be as hot as their TA2 cars?

?

I guess you would hope the homologation team could make them go with local track knowledge.

International stream has gremlins for me, or is it Saturday night only for the international livestream?
Anyone doing a commentary?

It's geo blocked so that you have to buy Stan.

Race is currently red flagged, immediately after a restart.

That Will Brown might be a half decent steerer.

I assume they rebuilt that Audi at some point this year, after Mr Hanson hit everything and anything with it last season.

Was Race 1 a reverse grid race?!

I wasn't expecting more than 1 local driver in the top 5, yet not was Brown leading the race, Sweeney was up there and even Ben Bargwanna. Very impressive!

(Or has the quality of TCR World Tour teams and drivers dropped off with the new World Tour format replacing the World Cup?)

Why are the Cyan Lynk & Co's buried in the pack?!

Also: How good does that FL5 Civic Type R look.

Anyway: All said, it is a great demonstration of how TCR can be great fun touring car racing as long as you have enough depth to the field.

It rained after about 5 minutes of qualifying.A number of the cars ,including most of the international ones ,had only done an installation lap and then returned to the pits.They did not do a flying lap on a dry track.
In the race they definitely came through.At one stage 6 of the first 7 cars were the international entries.

Some great racing again in Race 2!

Goes to show the potential in the TCR class, if only the Australian series normally had a bigger depth of field in the grid. I wonder what could be done about the commercial package to attract more competitors away from Carrera Cup or Super2?

Hopefully Brown will be invited for some appearances at Macau and elsewhere for 2024. Even if the cars are nothing special, the World Tour does contain some of the world's best race tracks.

Once again the Aussie teams and drivers showed they are the competitive against any opposition in touring car racing.

Some of the international teams, such as Cyan, were very disappointing. Perhaps that will change next weekend.

The driving standards in overseas TCR is pretty awful.

Funny the TCR superfans say this is better than Supercars, the world's best just got board by a part time TCR driver who is a full time Supercar driver.

Normally plenty of prangs in OS TCR but the amount of people being taken out and cars off track was not really professional .

Driving standard have always been different in Europe.

Unfortunately, we have gone to the other extreme where even Gentleman Jim Richards' style of driving back in the day would be considered too aggressive these days.

Hey at least our drivers mostly stay on the track...

Internationals got some results finally but I am hearing nothing but complaints from fans who went that there was almost no catering available...

For the millions spent bringing man, woman and machine here from across the world.. it would probably be fair to say advertising and promotion missed out on the largesse

Bathurst is next week..

Other than the hardcore fans, who would know that?
