Not the result I was hoping for, but that what happens now. Things are decided by safety cars . Like Dot said Grrr!!
Congrats to Dicky Doo Doo for having the best car today. And Roger Penske too. I just wish that they would race something that anyone could buy tomorrow. But they don't anymore.

You haven't been able to buy anything from a showroom they have raced for 20 years or more.
Can't even buy an engine they use.
That's why the best racing is Touring Car Masters these days - love it.
Cheers,

Shows just how international the race is these days.
A Froggie co-driver, a Yank car - half-owned by a yank - and the Yank & Canadian drivers came stone motherless last & a DNF!
Bring back the 500-car homologation, I say!
Still, having the safety car make it a 1-lap dash, after 160 laps DID make for a nail-biter of a finish!
Pity we didn’t get to see who miscalculated on their fuel load...
