Brodie Kostecki punches it once more and he is acquired a little bit of a break from Cam Waters.

However there could also be a difficulty with Kostecki’s automobile, the clutch could have to be bled at one of many future stops.

“We have now acquired a clutch drama sadly. We should attempt to work it out within the race,” says the Shell V-Energy crew.

It is all very tight and shut collectively as you’d count on from the restart.

Cooper Murray has acquired up forward of Jamie Whincup into sixth on the chopping – that is a spectacular transfer from Cooper Murray.

However it’s as you had been virtually in all places else that issues.

It is not raining lots, if in any respect.

All the actual falls are to the south of Bathurst in the intervening time, so it is simply not price getting moist climate tyres on.

However they’re all prepared and ready in case this climate does hit.

This is how the highest six line up:

Some commiserations being supplied.

BUT NOW HE’S GOT A BEER!

Excellent!

Effectively, he’ll be drowning his sorrows with some supporters.

“Chaz is having a beer with the followers, so in all probability the happiest he has been all weekend,” says Bruce Stewart.

“I’m not positive we will get him again earlier than the tip of the race. He appears to be like set.”

No probability of that being allowed to remain there so there must be one other security automobile.

Curiously, there are a good few spots of rain on the windscreen of that stricken #25 Ford Mustang of Chaz Mostert.

He is stopped up on Conrod Straight.

He is simply needed to park it.

That automobile was not prone to final as we mentioned earlier.

And yeah, he is simply needed to coast to the facet of the highway simply earlier than the flip into the chase.

Inexperienced flags and Brodie Kostecki punches the accelerator to get us again shifting.

Beautiful transfer from Cam Waters to get forward of Jayden Ojeda!

He strikes into second and that is likely to be essential as a result of…

Which means the Security Automotive interval is sort of up…

Jobe Stewart is talking to Fox Sports activities.

He says there was some rain on the market, however nothing a lot but.

“It was a bit
scary tipping over Skyline with rain on the windscreen,” he says.

“We should see the way it goes and we are going to play our technique based mostly on the climate.

“Hopefully it holds off a bit longer.”

What’s the radar telling us?

Solely that it is a good job it isn’t the Cowra 1000…

Plenty of rain simply to the south of Bathurst.

This is how we line up behind the protection automobile.

1. #38 – Brodie Kostecki/Todd Hazelwood (Shell V-Energy Ford)

The wind is howling round Mount Panorama.

The clouds are closing in however they’ve not burst. But.

Jamie Whincup dives into the pits.

Appears like Pink Bull are going to do a cease for every automobile, not fairly a double stack, there may be sufficient house.

Only a high up for gasoline for Whincup.

After which in comes Scott Pye.

Brodie Kostecki stays out.

This may take a little bit of finding out.

 An enormous shunt!

D’Alberto simply hit the within and smashed into the skin wall at Forest Elbow.

Nasty hit.

Sensible from Harri Jones to not plough into the again of D’Alberto’s automobile there.

It is a historic race at an historic circuit.

And that is an ideal little bit of historical past Previous timer.

Thanks for sharing.

It is unhealthy information for the #10 Matt Stone Racing entry.

The automobile has come into the storage.

It was sounding sick on the published, however we aren’t positive what the difficulty is.

Co-driver Tim Slade was driving the automobile when the difficulty occurred.

This might have ramifications for Nick Percat, the full-time Supercars driver.

He’s within the hunt to be a part of the Supercars’ finals collection, which begins on the Gold Coast within the subsequent spherical.

He is presently behind the wheel of his Monster Power Ford Mustang in the intervening time, Susan.

I recognize that is not what you meant.

5. #2 – Ryan Wooden/Jayden Ojeda (Mobil 1 Truck Help Ford)

First time of the race for the defending champion.

He rejoins in third place.

The data and means the Supercars commentators are so attuned to the automobiles they’re commentating on all the time astounds me.

And that is one other instance of that.

The digital camera took us contained in the #25 Mobil 1 Optus Ford automobile pushed by Fabian Coulthard, and it is immediately been picked up that there’s a difficulty with the automobile.

He says he is noticing one thing in the course of the gear modifications and it sounds a bit tough.

One thing to keep watch over.

They’re working eighth in the intervening time, having made two stops.

The Pink Bull #88 has are available in for a cease.

Championship chief Broc Feeney has introduced in his automobile, stopped it on its marks, and now the crew is altering tyres and refuelling.

Co-driver Jamie Whincup is stepping into the automobile for his second stint of this race.

This pit cease means Tood Hazelwood now leads within the Dick Johnson Racing #38.

From second, he was 12 seconds behind Broc Feeney.

Will Brown goes at hand over to Scott Pye for his second stint of the race.

He rejoins in seventeenth place.

Craig Lowndes on his thirty second begin, had an eventful first stint.

He is contemporary from having a shower, to chill down, which is sweet.

“It was for sheep stations there at one level,” he says.

“I had Garth [Tander] attempting to make me buddies with the concrete wall. It is a kind of issues that had keep out of bother. I knew I used to be in site visitors. All I did was
truly attempt to save as a lot gasoline as I may and actually attempt to leapfrog ultimately.”

The worst of the rain is to the south, however the groups are nonetheless anticipating climate to return.

“Everybody has their eyes to the skies to see what occurs,” he says.

“As soon as the rain comes, we will probably be busy.”
