Unpredictability, Uncertainty, Excitement. Let The V8 Supercar Enduros Commence.

V8 Supercars, SMP400. (C)

    Finally the V8 Supercar Pirtek Endurance Cup is here. This stage of the season exposes the unknown elements that comprise endurance racing. Cars, teams and drivers all tested to their limits. It's going to be fascinating.
    Four mandatory pit stops for today's Sandown 500, seven for Bathurst and a minimum fuel drop for the Gold Coast. Will today's V8's stand the stresses of endurance racing? Will the teams optimise their chances and adopt winning strategies, or will some make some tactical blunders? Co-drivers must certainly be champing at the bit, especially after their taste in yesterday's qualifying race. But what contribution will they provide, especially for those main drivers in with an opportunity for championship glory? Who could ever forget former champ Greg Murphy crashing out at last year's Bathurst 1000? They potentially could advance or scupper a main driver's championship. All the championship's main protagonists have qualified in the top ten for today's Sandown 500. If you've got a tip, you're better than us. Remember no one's won Sandown from pole position since 1996. The anticipation's building, as is the uncertainty.
                                           Got to go. Cars are about to line up on the grid. 
                                                                       Ciao....
