Does Supercars need to have a clearer way to tell the Finals Series cars apart? The gold window banner in NASCAR is unmissable! The dayglo orange numbers in Supercars don't do enough for me. #Supercars #RepcoSC

Shocking start to Darlington for SVG. He's dropped to the back of the field, reporting no feeling in the steering wheel. "I feel like I have 100lb too much air in the front tyres. I'm really, really loose and then just ploughing. I can't go any faster, I'm f***ing crashing"
