Adelaide Race 3

10:36	AltF5K	Welcome back to Adelaide for the third race of Round 3 of the Formula 5000 championship
10:36		--- Chaossy is away (Auto away)
10:36	AltF5K	Rhys Davies has been the form man all weekend, and will start from the pole by virtue of his two race wins so far
10:37	AltF5K	The lights are on
10:37	AltF5K	And we're away!
10:38	AltF5K	Davies maintains the lead into turn 1, and for the second race in a row, Evans gets the jump on Klien for 2nd
10:38	AltF5K	Michael Robertson has dropped a couple of spots to 6th, and attempts to get one of those back from Lloyd
10:39	AltF5K	The BRM driver is clearly struggling with a train of cars behind him
10:40	AltF5K	As Seamus Belcher puts the #0 STKR car into the wall at turn 5
10:40	AltF5K	And his teammate Bianchi nearly drills the back of him in the process
10:41		--- Chaossy is back
10:41	Chaossy	Hey Wazzle, is it alright if my GT Cars be a support race for the F5K at Bathurst?
10:41	AltF5K	Robertson meanwhile gets the move done on Lloyd to go into 5th
10:41	AltF5K	Eh, go for it
10:42	AltF5K	Davies and Evans are going blow for blow on the timesheets at the moment
10:42	AltF5K	Clearly Triple 8 have found something in their setup between races 2 and 3
10:42	Chaossy	GTA is a war game confirmed
10:42	Chaossy	anyway alrighty nice
10:42	AltF5K	Scotty Pye meanwhile has moved up a position
10:43	AltF5K	Becoming the latest person to overtake Jordan Lloyd
10:43	AltF5K	Lee Holdsworth will be the next to have a go at the inaugural AF4 champion
10:44	AltF5K	And does so successfully to take 7th
10:45	AltF5K	Scott McLaughlin's the next to fancy a go at Lloyd
10:45	AltF5K	Who has Foster-Thompson and Premat for company as well
10:46	AltF5K	Davies meanwhile has grown the gap to just over two seconds
10:46	AltF5K	We're on lap 6 of 27
10:46	AltF5K	Which means the pit window is now open
10:47	AltF5K	Andrea Bianchi's the first to stop from P18
10:48	AltF5K	McLaughlin meanwhile has had enough and has taken a stand against Lloyd
10:48	AltF5K	Claiming P8 for himself with extreme prejudice
10:48	AltF5K	Prodrive are the first of the leading teams to react
10:48	AltF5K	Bringing Klien in from 3rd
10:49	AltF5K	The Austrian rejoins in 10th behind Premat
10:49	AltF5K	And mired in all sorts of traffic
10:50	AltF5K	Triple 8 react immediately
10:50	AltF5K	Bringing Evans in from 2nd
10:50	AltF5K	And Evans rejoins miles ahead in P5, just ahead of Holdsworth
10:51	AltF5K	This leaves Davies out in front by 11 seconds over Simpson, Robertson and Pye
10:52	AltF5K	Lloyd meanwhile brings the BRM car in from 9th at the end of lap 10
10:52	AltF5K	John Muirhead follows suit in the lead Motorsport Projects car
10:53	AltF5K	And in comes Davies from the lead
10:53	AltF5K	He has 20 seconds to Evans
10:53	AltF5K	Will it be enough to stay ahead?
10:53	AltF5K	It is!
10:53	AltF5K	He rejoins in 3rd just ahead of Pye and Evans
10:54	AltF5K	Evans is desperately trying to find a way past Pye to keep in touch with Davies
10:54	AltF5K	And does so heading into the hairpin
10:55	AltF5K	Davies meanwhile has found himself stranded behind Robertson for 2nd
10:56	AltF5K	Davies makes the move stick at the end of the backstraight
10:56	AltF5K	Simpson pits from the lead, handing control back to the AGI driver
10:58	AltF5K	Klien!
10:58	AltF5K	He's slowing!
10:58	AltF5K	And that's a huge cloud of smoke pouring out of his car!
10:58	AltF5K	SIMPSON!
10:58	AltF5K	HE'S IN THE WALL!
10:58	AltF5K	DOUBLE DISASTER FOR PRODRIVE!
10:58	AltF5K	THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER IS OUT!
10:59	AltF5K	It's all kicking off now
11:00	AltF5K	Klien's car has dumped all sorts of rubbish on the track
11:00	AltF5K	And it's caught out Lloyd and Foster-Thompson!
11:01	AltF5K	Both are buried in the sand trap at turn 1 and out of the race!
11:01	AltF5K	Heimgartner and Bianchi nearly follow them in
11:02	AltF5K	The chaos has left Davies and Evans in 1 and 2
11:02	AltF5K	Pye's back up to 3rd ahead of Holdsworth, McLaughlin and Robertson
11:02	AltF5K	Robertson quickly changes that, passing McLaughin for 5th
11:02	AltF5K	Which now becomes 4th as Holdsworth pits
11:03	AltF5K	The best battle on track at the moment is for 10th position
11:04	AltF5K	Weiron Tan, currently holds that position, but has Lee Rogers and Andrea Bianchi behind him
11:04	AltF5K	Rogers tries a move on Tan, but ends up losing a spot to Bianchi for his troubles
11:05	AltF5K	Pit strategy continues to play out, as Pye comes in from 3rd
11:05	AltF5K	McLaughlin follows him in
11:06	AltF5K	As Bianchi has a go at Tan and successfully makes the move
11:06	AltF5K	Shae Davies has now tagged onto this battle in the sole remaining Peak car
11:07	AltF5K	This mob now have something even worse to worry about
11:07	AltF5K	As Alex Premat emerges from his pitstop with fresh tyres
11:07	AltF5K	And is more than capable of getting all up in their grill
11:08	AltF5K	Rogers realises this, and promptly makes his way past Tan
11:08	AltF5K	As Andrea Bianchi's engine also blows up right in front of them
11:08	AltF5K	CRASHU!
11:08	AltF5K	Bianchi tries to let the pack go
11:08	AltF5K	But Renee Gracie runs into the back of Premat
11:09	AltF5K	Who rolls his car on Bianchi's!
11:09	AltF5K	Premat and Bianchi are both out
11:09	AltF5K	And a wheel as made a bid for freedom on John Muirhead's car, putting him out as well
11:10	Biscione	good lord
11:10	Biscione	is anyone in F5K actually competent?
11:10	AltF5K	Shae!
11:10	RealRacingRoots	sandy stuvik who hasn't shown up yet
11:10	AltF5K	He's now buried his car in a gravel trap
11:10	AltF5K	After two relatively sedate races, it's become amateur hour here at Adelaide
11:11	AltF5K	Davies has managed to dig himself out but has been relegated to 14th and last car running
11:11	AltF5K	Forever Friends Adelaide Voeckler and Aaron Watson find themselves in close proximity yet again
11:12	AltF5K	This time the Frenchwoman wins out, taking 12th from the American
11:12	AltF5K	Her teammate Gracie meanwhile has found herself in the dizzying heights of 9th amongst all the silliness
11:13	AltF5K	But has race leader Davies furiously gesticulating as he tries to put her a lap down
11:14	AltF5K	Kayra Clifton's also managed to avoid much of the madness, and finds herself in 10th, closing in on Gracie ahead
11:14	AltF5K	The only other major battle left on track is for 12th and 13th
11:15	AltF5K	As Weiron Tan is closing in rapidly on Watson on new Giti tyres
11:17	AltF5K	Tan makes the move at the end of the hairpin, and promptly disappears into the distance
11:17		*** rambert quit (Quit: Quit)
11:17	AltF5K	He now has three laps to potentially catch Voeckler for 11th
11:18	AltF5K	He only needs one to catch her
11:19	AltF5K	But overtaking is a whole different story, as the saying goes
11:19	AltF5K	Voeckler tries to make it easy for him by nearly throwing it into the scenery at the Senna chicane
11:19		--- Ataxia is away (is it me you're looking for?)
11:20	AltF5K	Aaron Watson goes one step better and actually does throw it into the scenery
11:20	AltF5K	Dropping to 14th behind Davies
11:20	AltF5K	Speaking of Davies, Rhys is currently halfway around his final tour of the Adelaide circuit
11:21	AltF5K	He has been the class of the field all weekend with the AGI All-Stars VIP Petfoods car
11:21	AltF5K	And he about to complete the clean sweep
11:21	AltF5K	He rounds the final corner, and crosses the line to WIN AT ADELAIDE!
11:21	AltF5K	And we cut back to the battle for 11th
11:22	AltF5K	Voeckler is somehow holding on old tyres and will cross the line ahead
11:22		*** Gonzalez joined #F1Rejects
11:22	AltF5K	Of the other finishers, Mitch Evans completes a much-improved weekend in 2nd place, with Michael Robertson claiming the final podium spot
11:23	AltF5K	The top 10 is filled by Scott Pye, Lee Holdsworth, Scott McLaughlin, Andre Heimgartner, Lee Rogers, Renee Gracie and Kayra Clifton
11:24	AltF5K	Davies will also claim the point for fastest lap
11:24	AltF5K	Which means he would have scored 303 out of a potential 306 points for the weekend
