    Great to see so many international drivers this weekend. Hopefully more to come in the future seasons...

    Villenueve was unlucky at the start, he was tagged at turn 4 which this article fails to state.

    I think this is a fantastic venue for endurance racing....

    He was tagged, but he did himself no favours whatsoever by keeping his throttle in it the whole time.

    I think he was damned if he did or damned if he didn't...

    He was so close to getting out of there....even if he didn't bag it up and try drive away, it would still have been a parking lot.

    As you can probably imagine, I'm pretty happy to see Andy Priaulx in second place

    Not really, he was accelerating the wrong way into traffic, whereas if he didn't keep the boot in, he probably wouldn'tve been T-boned.


    Fantastic end to race two after about a thousand safety cars.

    The races were totally awesome. These days I watched V8, DTM, WTC and GT1 and to me it seems that V8 is the best

    Fantastic driver line of ALMS/Indycar drivers. If only it was Bathurst!

    Still prefer the longer track Surfer's track.

    Why was it shortened this year? Locals complaining?

    On the subject of annoying locals, Castle Combe has to use a very low noise limit - not even the BTCC can hold events there - due to FOUR locals complaining after moving next door to it and at many trackdays and events with track time, cars that have driven past the houses of the complainers are not allowed on track

    IMO if the shortening was caused by complaints, the Aussie government should explain that the track is beneficial to the local economy and if they don't like it, they can f*** off
