De Pasquale hits the wall. What a shame. It's all going wrong for Erebus.

Reynolds pits and stays in the car but gets a drink from the team. Lowndes stays in the lead.

I would have replaced him.

Black flag for Reynolds. Spinning wheels when pitting.

Reynolds has a pit lane penalty for wheels spinning in the pits. :(

As depressing as that is, a Lowndes/Richards will win be great. Pye and McLaughlin are now 2nd and 3rd. Van Gisbergen is back in 5th.

I'm just wondering if we're going to get a safety car. If we do then that could result in something very dramatic.

Reynolds in to switch to Youlden, there's no point staying out now.

That was one of the saddest interviews I've ever seen.

Very sad way to lose a race having had the pace all weekend. Feel so sorry for Erebus, after being on such a high yesterday and then in a space of a few laps it all turned to shit in a few heartbeats.

That interview was heart wrenching, and gave me a lump in my throat.

Now fingers crossed for Lowndsey and Richo. I actually dont want an SC tbh.

Four laps to go. If we get an SC at this point I think the race would be essentially over.

How emotional will Lowndes be?

Lowndes/Richards win it!

It may not have been one of the more exciting 1000s but it will be one of the more remembered ones.
