10:15	F5KAliceSprings	He rejoins in 3rd behind Lloyd and Belcher, who are both yet to stop
10:15	RealRacingRoots	and now he's talking about halo marketing with ford
10:15	F5KAliceSprings	Ricciardo's already cleared Belcher
10:16	F5KAliceSprings	And Lloyd comes in for a stop before he gets steamrolled by the Horan driver
10:16	MANTHEYWINSLOL	what was it RRR?
10:16	RealRacingRoots	about how the ford gt gives the perception that a blue collar brand can take it to the europeans in a awesome way

10:21	F5KAliceSprings	The BRM driver has much fresher tyres
10:21	F5KAliceSprings	But the pair of them are zoning in on the lapped car of Brenton Grove
10:22	F5KAliceSprings	Side by side down the front straight
10:22	F5KAliceSprings	And into third goes Jordan
10:22	MANTHEYWINSLOL	oh
10:22	F5KAliceSprings	Stanaway finally comes in for his stop
10:22	F5KAliceSprings	And rejoins in 11th
10:22	MANTHEYWINSLOL	the bleekemolen ferrari has p2 in am now
10:23	MANTHEYWINSLOL	holding back the weathertech ferrari
10:23	F5KAliceSprings	He's already all over the back of Bourne for 10th place however
10:23	F5KAliceSprings	And takes the spot from him
10:24	MANTHEYWINSLOL	theyre best part of 2 minutes off the leading dempsey porsche tho
10:24	F5KAliceSprings	As Raghunathan's day ends with a puncture while running in 12th

10:24	F5KAliceSprings	This time from Belcher for 4th
10:25	F5KAliceSprings	Muirhead on new tyres is absolutely flying out there, as he's got Tan in his sights for 7th
10:25	F5KAliceSprings	As Belcher moves up to P4 at the expense of Holdsworth
10:26	F5KAliceSprings	The STKR crew are scrambling!
10:26	F5KAliceSprings	And in comes Belcher!
10:26	F5KAliceSprings	They've got a new steering wheel ready for him!
10:26	F5KAliceSprings	They swap the wheel, and he rejoins in 7th just ahead of Tan
10:26	F5KAliceSprings	Stanaway meanwhile is flying out there on fresh rubber
10:27	MANTHEYWINSLOL	91 porsche
10:27	MANTHEYWINSLOL	in and out
10:27	F5KAliceSprings	He's taken 9th from Macklin, and sets off to catch Tan
10:27	MANTHEYWINSLOL	bruni now at the wheel
10:28	F5KAliceSprings	Meanwhile, Ricciardo has put on a clinic out front
10:28	F5KAliceSprings	His lead is now up to 20 seconds with 4 laps to go
10:28	F5KAliceSprings	As Belcher takes 6th from Muirhead with extreme prejudice
10:28	F5KAliceSprings	And Stanaway is up to 8th, ahead of Tan
10:29	MANTHEYWINSLOL	alonso's whittled the lead down to 1:43
10:29	MANTHEYWINSLOL	hes gotta be enjoying himself
10:29	F5KAliceSprings	Belcher is now right with Premat for 5th
10:30	F5KAliceSprings	And with superior grip should get the move done easily
10:30	F5KAliceSprings	He ducks out of the slipstream down the front straight
10:30	F5KAliceSprings	And takes the spot from the Triple 8 driver
10:30	Mr_Klon	yeah, instead of pointlessly driving behind superior competition in 9th place, he now does so in 2nd place
10:31	F5KAliceSprings	Muirhead isn't too far behind Premat, and is closing in at a rapid rate
10:32	F5KAliceSprings	Muirhead is now right with him
10:32	F5KAliceSprings	He has a look at the exit of turn 5, but can't get the power down
10:32	F5KAliceSprings	He has the tow down the front straight
10:32	MANTHEYWINSLOL	ah
10:33	F5KAliceSprings	And Premat relents without a fight
10:33	F5KAliceSprings	Daniel Ricciardo has no such dramas up front
10:33		*** RobDylan quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
10:33	F5KAliceSprings	And he crosses the line and goes two from two in Alice Springs!
10:33	MANTHEYWINSLOL	kevin estre has been credited with the lead that the 92 porsche has now
10:33	MANTHEYWINSLOL	mr_klon he has a serious shot at winning this thing though
10:34	MANTHEYWINSLOL	he's pulled half a minute out of the lead toyota since he got in that thing
10:34	F5KAliceSprings	Scott Pye will come home in 2nd with Jordan Lloyd completing the podium in third
10:34	F5KAliceSprings	Seamus Belcher recovers to take 4th ahead of Lee Holdsworth
10:34	Mr_Klon	it's called nurturing the car, a basic skill in endurance racing - I bet you the lead Toyota could go significantly faster
10:34	MANTHEYWINSLOL	they probably both could
10:34	F5KAliceSprings	The top 10 will be completed by John Muirhead, Alex Premat, Richie Stanaway, Weiron Tan and Mitch Macklin
