Here's how Checo did over the weekend:
- He completed 79 practice laps. (guess range: 60 to 80 laps, average 67.79)
- He finished 12th in qualifying (guess range: 9th to 13th, average 11.50)
- He set a time that was 2.3 seconds slower than the fastest time in Q2 (1:38.554 vs. 1:36.290) (guess range: 1.3 s to 1.9 s, average 1.65 s)
- He retired from the race on lap 1 (guess range: one retirement, 13 finishes in 8th to 12th position, average 10.00)
- He didn't complete a single lap (guess range: 1.1 s to 1.9 s (and one guess that he would not complete a single lap), average 1.65 s)
- He entered the pit lane once (guess range: 0 to 2, average 1.64)
So, practice and qualifying went more or less as we expected. Then everything went wrong. Well, except if you are Barty, who correctly predicted the first lap retirement. This was also the first time we have had one of our target drivers retire.
Here are the points deductions for this round as usual:
- 1.069 points/lap
- 4.569 points/position
- 26.92 points/second
- 0.500 points/lap
- n/a
- 8.032 points/visit
And here are the results:
Barty crushes everyone! This is the biggest winning margin so far, but it could have been even bigger. If Checo had not been able to limp back to the pit lane, the margin would have been 33 points! Costaz finishes in second place and wattoroos in third.

In the title race, wattoroos pulls out what seems like a solid lead over kismet.
