- 18:54 AltF5K Hello and welcome back to Albert Park for race 2 of the weekend
- 18:54 AltF5K We have an all-start front row with Dave Simpson up against Triple 8's Mitch Evans
- 18:54 AltF5K The Kiwi has scored 5 podiums in a row, but is still looking for his first Formula 5000 win
- 18:55 AltF5K Will today be the day?
- 18:55 AltF5K The lights are off and away we go!
- 18:56 AltF5K Evans gets a terrible getaway, but goes last of the late brakers into turn 1 and takes the lead!
- 18:56 AltF5K BIG CRASH!
- 18:56 AltF5K We've got cars scattered everywhere at turn 1!
- 18:57 AltF5K Aaron Watson has drilled the back of Shae Davies hard on the run to turn 1
- 18:57 AltF5K And the midfield scatters to avoid the carnage
- 18:58 AltF5K Watson, Davies and Renee Gracie are all out
- 18:59 AltF5K And we have more cars off at turn 13!
- 18:59 AltF5K McLaughlin and Premat have collided!
- 18:59 AltF5K As has Lloyd and Stanaway!
- 18:59 AltF5K It's absolute pandemonium here at Albert Park!
- 19:00 RealRacingRoots i was gonna say this is how gracie gets a good result
- 19:00 RealRacingRoots not nuuuuuuuupe
- 19:00 AltF5K The order is Evans leading from Simpson and Rogers
- 19:00 AltF5K Stanaway is 4th from Heimgartner, Tim Blanchard, Kayra Clifton, Brenton Grove, Adelaide Voeckler and Jordan Lloyd
- 19:01 AltF5K AND THAT'S ROGERS!
- 19:01 AltF5K The transmission has let go in a big way at turn 8!
- 19:02 AltF5K STANAWAY!
- 19:02 AltF5K He's off the road at 13 trying to overtake Heimgartner for 3rd!
- 19:02 AltF5K And Scotty Pye's come together with Jordan Lloyd at the back end of the top 10!
- 19:02 AltF5K It's absolute amateur hour out there
- 19:03 AltF5K There were several faster cars well out of position after race 1, but nobody could have predicted this
- 19:03 AltF5K Evans meanwhile is over three seconds to the good on lap 3 of 19
- 19:04 AltF5K Amongst all the mayhem, Tim Blanchard is now up to an incredible 4th place
- 19:04 AltF5K But Clifton's closing on him at a vast rate of knots!
- 19:05 AltF5K Further back, we have a massive scrap for 8th between Adelaide Voeckler, Lee Holdsworth and Benji Foster-Thompson
- 19:05 AltF5K Holdsworth gets the move done cleanly into 1
- 19:05 AltF5K As Stanaway gives John Muirhead similar treatment for 11th
- 19:06 AltF5K Foster-Thompson attempts a move on Voeckler into 9
- 19:06 AltF5K But just can't get it done
- 19:07 AltF5K A furious Scotty Mac is also making progress through the field, overtaking Tan with extreme prejudice
- 19:07 AltF5K Heimgartner meanwhile is the first to stop from 3rd place
- 19:07 AltF5K And rejoins in 12th ahead of Scotty Mac
- 19:08 AltF5K Brenton Grove has been running in 5th for much of proceedings so far
- 19:08 AltF5K But he's now under threat of losing it to Belcher
- 19:08 AltF5K Lee Holdsworth pits from 7th
- 19:09 AltF5K Followed by Stanaway and Robertson
- 19:09 AltF5K And Scotty Pye
- 19:09 AltF5K Grove!
- 19:09 AltF5K His inexperience shows, as he throws it off the road at turn 1 while under pressure from Belcher
- 19:10 AltF5K Heimgartner meanwhile is wasting little time mowing his way through cars
- 19:10 AltF5K As he overtakes Muirhead and sets his sights on Voeckler
- 19:10 AltF5K Adelaide Voeckler is still trucking along nicely
- 19:11 AltF5K And is somehow up to 6th with a huge train of cars behind her
- 19:11 AltF5K Heimgartner is desperately looking for a way past
- 19:11 AltF5K And Muirhead, Scotty Mac and Grove are keeping watching brief
- 19:12 AltF5K CRASHU!
- 19:12 AltF5K Heimgartner and Voeckler both run off the road at turn 1
- 19:12 AltF5K And Grove has nowhere to go but into the side of his Nesia teammate!
- 19:12 AltF5K PREMAT!
- 19:12 AltF5K HE'S IN THE WALL AT THREE!
- 19:12 AltF5K And it looks like Weiron Tan was involved in that one as well
- 19:13 AltF5K And Voeckler finally runs out of talent in the turn 9 gravel trap
- 19:13 AltF5K As Belcher pits from 5th
- 19:14 AltF5K Evans meanwhile has an 8 second lead on lap 8 of 19
- 19:14 AltF5K Simpson in 2nd has 30 seconds on Blanchard
- 19:14 AltF5K Which goes to show just how silly this race has been
- 19:15 AltF5K The top four of Evans, Simpson, Blanchard and Kayra Clifton are all yet to stop
- 19:15 AltF5K Belcher is the first of those who have in 5th
- 19:15 AltF5K But he is a minute 10 behind the leader Evans and of no threat to him
- 19:16 AltF5K Benji Foster-Thompson meanwhile is up to P6 with Holdsworth and Pye for company
- 19:16 AltF5K Stanaway and McLaughlin round out the top 10
- 19:16 AltF5K Belcher is absolutely flying on new rubber at the moment
- 19:17 AltF5K He's making time hand over fist over Clifton and Blanchard in the battle for third
- 19:17 AltF5K And it looks like the Leketus crew are getting ready for a stop
- 19:18 AltF5K Blanchard has 23 seconds in hand over Belcher
- 19:18 AltF5K As we cut to Pye putting a clean move on Holdsworth for 7th
- 19:19 AltF5K And Blanchard's in from third
- 19:19 AltF5K And he rejoins in 5th, a long way behind Belcher
- 19:20 AltF5K And in comes our leader Evans
- 19:20 AltF5K Simpson stays out for another lap
- 19:20 AltF5K Evans rejoins in 2nd after a clean stop
- 19:21 AltF5K As Premat bullies Voeckler to submission over 16th and 17th position
- 19:21 AltF5K And Scotty Pye's had *another* incident
- 19:21 AltF5K This time with Benji Foster-Thompson down at turn 13
- 19:22 AltF5K Simpson pits for his mandatory stop
- 19:22 AltF5K Which will give the lead back to Evans
- 19:22 AltF5K As we believe Erebus are also getting ready to bring Clifton in
- 19:23 AltF5K The question is whether she'll stay ahead of her teammate Holdsworth in 6th
- 19:24 AltF5K And the answer to that is no
- 19:24 AltF5K As she rejoins in 7th behind Stanaway
- 19:24 AltF5K But on fresh rubber
- 19:24 AltF5K Michael Robertson meanwhile has another early shower
- 19:24 AltF5K With another transmission failure being the cause
- 19:25 AltF5K McLaughlin tries a move on Clifton
- 19:25 AltF5K And ends up in the turn 9 gravel trap for his troubles
- 19:26 AltF5K Incredibly, Clifton is now catching Stanaway and Holdsworth hand-over-fist with new tyres
- 19:28 AltF5K Muirhead meanwhile has a dive on Foster-Thompson into 1
- 19:28 AltF5K And takes 8th position from him
- 19:28 AltF5K Clifton's all over the back of Stanaway for 6th now
- 19:28 AltF5K Many have questioned her talents in an open-wheel car of this much power
- 19:29 AltF5K But she's really come of age this afternoon with a maturity that many others have failed to display
- 19:29 AltF5K Clifton has a lunge into 1
- 19:29 AltF5K And makes the move stick!
- 19:29 *** Miguel98 joined #F1Rejects
- 19:29 +++ ChanServ has given halfop to Miguel98
- 19:29 AltF5K She now has her sights firmly set on teammate Holdsworth
- 19:30 AltF5K Evans meanwhile leads by just over 13 seconds with 3 laps to go
- 19:30 Miguel98 my head :L
- 19:30 AltF5K Welcome back to the land of the living
- 19:30 Miguel98 last nite was something
- 19:31 AltF5K Further back meanwhile, Scotty Pye is all over Jordan Lloyd for 11th place
- 19:31 AltF5K And yeah it was
- 19:31 Miguel98 bloody hell :L
- 19:31 Miguel98 Lloyd y
- 19:31 Miguel98 id Rogers relevant at least?
- 19:31 AltF5K Rogers blew up a while back
- 19:32 AltF5K Lloyd, Pye and Scotty Mac are going hammer and tong for 11th, 12th and 13th
- 19:32 AltF5K And have the leader Evans bearing down on them at a vast rate of knots
- 19:33 AltF5K And Lloyd's off the road at 13, dropping two spots as a result
- 19:33 AltF5K Triple 8 bring Premat in for a second stop
- 19:33 AltF5K Presumably in an attempt to steal the point for fastest lap
- 19:34 AltF5K Evans meanwhile is halfway around the final lap, but has traffic to contend with
- 19:34 AltF5K First up is McLaughlin
- 19:34 AltF5K Who, like many of the front runners, has had a terrible showing
- 19:35 AltF5K Clifton's charge seems to be over
- 19:35 AltF5K And she now has to defend 6th from Stanaway for one final tour
- 19:35 AltF5K Mitch Evans however has no such dramas
- 19:35 AltF5K As he crosses the line to WIN IN MELBOURNE!
- 19:35 AltF5K Dave Simpson comes home in 2nd position
- 19:36 AltF5K And in third place, in what is one of the true shock results of the season, will be Seamus Belcher in the STKR car
- 19:36 AltF5K He's so far behind that only now is he at the final corner
- 19:36 *** Miguel98 quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- 19:36 AltF5K CLIFTON!
- 19:36 AltF5K STANAWAY!
- 19:36 AltF5K THEY'VE COME TOGETHER AT TURN 13!
- 19:37 AltF5K And Clifton's hard work has come completely unglued!
- 19:38 AltF5K Evans will also walk away with the point for fastest lap
- 19:38 AltF5K And, crucially, the pole for race 3 by just a single point over Simpson
