Big crash at Griffin's. Ingall slides into Holdsworth, who has rolled. SC out . Just two or three laps short of the fuel window to the finish

Lee is OK. He went off at Griffin's. That was similar to the Lowndes/Luff accident, except it wasn't as fast. He got speared in to the tire wall by Ingall, who was all locked up in the inside of the corner. SC unsurprisingly out.

That looked like a brake failure to me. Good to see Lee walk away.

So, looks like it's turning into a fuel economy run in the end... On pace Van Gisbergen looks strong.

I'm pretty certain he had brakes. He was just going too fast into the corner, and got all locked up on the inside.

He certainly had rear brakes, but the way those locked up almost immediately makes me wonder whether he had fronts.

But it could've been a mistake, too.

So, with less then 20 laps to go, all the leaders do not have enough fuel to make it to the end of the race. This race is going to be decided on a final, brief fuel stop.

Ingall has been given a drive-through penalty for the incident with Holdsworth.

If they havee to stop again Winterbottom may just be ok..... he pitted a lap later.

Im thinking Van Giz is the most likely to win.

Van Giz stalled it or cant select gear
Lowndes leads. No he doesnt, Frosty stayed out as did Whincup.

I don't fucking believe it! The car is halfway dead. He's been stuck there for 30 seconds or more.
