As for the temps, they were all copping it, but there must be something with the way the exhaust is routed in the mercs that places the exhaust closer to the floor.

Holdsworth was the only one that felt it because Engel had problems with the ecu/drive-by-wire and slade had the gbox probs, so holdsworth was the only one to get a decent run out of it.

Onto race discussion.

Awesome to see Lowndes get his 90th win, the next one will be a biggie, thatll make him the most winningest driver in aussie touring car history.

Also good to see Tekno beat the stranglehold that 888 and FPR had on the race victories (even though its an 888 built chassis lol) and even though its a dog act what SVG did to stonebros/erebus, Ive been a fan since he won his first races back in 2011, and its awesome to see him in a Holden. Car had genuine pace, he is an awesome driver, id like to see him up there with the greats some day.

Alex Premat, the frenchman. Terrible last season, i think the fact that the cars feel more like proper race cars means he will smash it this year, as can be seen is his performance in quali on both days.
