Okay mate, your rear left looks like it's collapsed, you know it just went bang, he's going to be on here, he has to defend.

Just slow it down, slow it down, we just need to get it back. F*** sake, so sorry. It's the worst weekend of my life. It's all good mate, it's okay. Alright mate, bit more fuel saving here, bit more fuel saving. Do I need the fuel save or are you just saying that? We're just double checking the numbers. Just fuel save, we need the fuel save, just to be safe. We've got the gap, we just want to use that gap to fuel save. So it's starting to elevate. Going to DEFCON 2. Maximum fuel save, maximum fuel save, mate. Do everything you can. Oh, and Anton, he is in maximum fuel save. DEFCON 5. We need to be 1, margin minus 1. Like 1.0 or 0.1? That's 1.0. How many are you taking? Sorry, mate. Just save as much as you can. Save as much as you can. You're all good, bud. You're all good. Take it easy, take it easy. I'll let you know, we should be alright. Two laps to take, we'll be alright. We're going to be very close on fuel here mate. Off at the line. Where's Brodie? The red nose of the Shelby power mistake. Here he comes. It's over mate, this is not over. Last lap to go. Car 18 is going to run out of fuel. Push mate, push. Question is, who comes out on top? It is Chevy versus Ford at the end. Well, run it out or win. I don't know either. This is, yeah, nuts. Just coast down the hill, get to the checkered flag. Mate, I'm so sorry. I don't think I'm going to make it. Todd Hazelwood from the club. Best driver in the best car. See you guys. I'd say to say. I can't believe it. Use everything to get home. Starter motor, everything. Just try to get it across the line. I'm not going to get there. No chance. Mate, just burn the starter motor out. Just do everything to get the points.
