I wont mention any names but the last few laps of race 14 was undoubtedly one of the best, cleanest and closest 3 car racing i have seen for a long time.

VOLVO TIPPED TO JOIN V8 SUPERCARS GRID
Volvo is the latest manufacturer being linked to a V8 Supercars Championship campaign as practical deadlines loom for any fresh 2014 entries.
Speculation surrounding new marques has been rife following V8 Supercars Commission chairman Mark Skaife’s declaration at a Nissan Motorsport function in Austin last month that he expects “some really important announcements” on the matter later in the year.
Garry Rogers Motorsport has been at the centre of new manufacturer talk for more than 12 months and is said to be the team of choice for a possible Volvo assault.
Speedcafe.com understands that a deal between the two parties could be complete as soon as next week.
Volvo Australia is currently denying interest in V8 Supercars, but has recently shown a strong desire to add sporting prowess to its long standing image of safety and reliability.
Its actions have included the commissioning of a limited run of high performance S60 road cars from global Volvo Motorsport tuning house Polestar that are set to arrive in the country later this month.
The S60 sedan model appears a perfect fit for V8 Supercars’ Car of the Future chassis, sharing similar key dimensions with Nissan’s recently homologated Altima.
A batch of 50 Polestar-tuned S60s are bound for Australia and set to be priced at over $100,000
Although factory supported S60 racing programs are already in place in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship and the Pirelli World Challenge (USA), a Volvo Australia spokesman poured cold water on talk of a V8 Supercars effort when approached by Speedcafe.com.
“Motorsport is something that is successfully leveraged by, for example, Volvo Sweden and Volvo Cars North America,” he said.
“Volvo Car Australia is constantly looking at a range of partnerships and, like a number of automotive manufacturers, is fully aware of V8 Supercars’ Car of the Future strategy, but we have no plans to go motor racing.”
Garry Rogers meanwhile told Speedcafe.com that a potential Volvo tie-up was “news to me”.
“I take absolutely no notice of any paddock chat because that’s exactly what it is,” he said of the Volvo talk.
The cagey veteran admitted that he is working hard on securing a factory deal for his team, but suggested that having a new car ready for next season would be difficult.
“It’s a process that has been ongoing for quite some time and it’s very frustrating but you’ve just got to keep working, it’s all you can do,” he said of courting a new marque.
“I’ve just about given up on that (2014) because it’s probably too late,” he added of next season.
“We’re already in June and we’ve got a lot of big races coming up. For me it’s looking difficult.”
Volvo already has an Australian Touring Car Championship victory to its name thanks to Robbie Francevic’s success in 1986 with a dealer supported 240 Turbo Group A campaign orchestrated by Mark Petch.
Volvo Australia more recently backed a Super Touring program in Australia that included the driving talents of Peter Brock and Jim Richards and culminated in the 1998 Bathurst 1000 and 1999 Manufacturers’ Championship crowns.
GRM has campaigned Holdens since it joined the ATCC as a single car team in 1996, but currently receives no financial backing from the manufacturer.

Date set for Volvo V8 Supercars announcement
http://www.speedcafe.com/2013/06/07/date-set-for-volvo-v8-supercars-announcement wrote:
Volvo is set to confirm its 2014 V8 Supercars Championship entry with Garry Rogers Motorsport later this month.
The official launch will take place in Queensland on June 17 and coincide with the reveal of the company’s high performance S60 Polestar road car, according to a report by Motoring.com.au.
The report follows Speedcafe.com’s breaking story this morning regarding Volvo’s impending GRM deal.
Volvo Car Australia and GRM principal Garry Rogers had both denied the plans to Speedcafe.com as the deal is on the break of its final sign-off.
The S60 appears to be a perfect fit for V8 Supercars’ Car of the Future platform, although which engine the cars will run is currently unclear.

I'm exited for Volvo Polestar!
Back on topic, some of the 'top dogs' made rookie errors today. Reynolds, R.Kelly, Slade, Motsert, D'Alberto, Caruso all did great i their respective teams. Whincup still manages to dominate.

Re: 2013 V8 Supercars Discussion
So is it just me or is Brighty the instigator of the lap 1 crash of the last race? Looks like he got a few taps then once around the turn "gave back" the taps with interest triggering the whole situation?

Matters arising from Qualifying for Race 19:
There were no issues
They have put it in the to hard basket - deemed a racing incident.
What doesn't add up (and this isn't a T8 Bash) but lowdnes was pinged a MASSIVE 15 points (effectively one position) for causing the stack yesterday - trashing 6+ guys races from the damage caused - I like lowdnes as a drive but this doesn't seem right.
How can causing so much carnage have such a low penalty when a drive through cost a driver near the front of the field 50+ points? trust me i was grinning more the chris o'tool about whincup got the PLP and pissed when it happened to frosty - but the penalty's dont fit the crimes.
Turn around one car and loose 50+ points
Wipe out a chunk of the field 15 points.
