Tim GineverHOST
Grove Racing and...
Tim GineverHOST
Well, Penrite sponsor him big time, Matt Payne, and with Kai Allen, who was in the top four last year.
Tim GineverHOST
He was, that was he.
Tim GineverHOST
And now Matt Payne on his own,
Tim GineverHOST
Grove Racing and, well, Penrite sponsoring big time.
Tim GineverHOST
Matt Payne and with Kai Allen, who was in the top four last year.
Tim GineverHOST
He was.
Tim GineverHOST
And now Matt Payne on his own trying to take out the championship.
Michael LamonatoHOST
Chas Mostert will have Ryan Wood again, presumably backing him up.
Michael LamonatoHOST
And while Kai Allen's had a pretty quiet and disappointing finals campaign, for most of the season, he's been in really good form.
Michael LamonatoHOST
How do they all play out over three races? That's going to be a fascinating extra element.
Michael LamonatoHOST
Again, something that we didn't see heaps of last year except of course for that contentious Ryan Wood moment in the final but I think we'll see a lot more of it this year
Andrew van LeeuwenHOST
I don't think so.
Andrew van LeeuwenHOST
Obviously, there was the big high-profile case in terms of the tyre pressures in Perth for Kai Allen.
Andrew van LeeuwenHOST
That was a case of they managed to talk their way out of a penalty.
Andrew van LeeuwenHOST
Supercars wasn't happy with it, so it's not like Supercars is on their side.
Stefan BartholomaeusHOST
This is a track where Groves have been okay but not stellar.
Stefan BartholomaeusHOST
yep in the last couple of years so matt payne was talking a fair bit about the amount of effort they'd put into this track in particular and he was quite genuinely encouraged um to be fastest talking about they tried some things and they're also using kai allen's car his teammate to experiment as well, although we might get to that later.
Stefan BartholomaeusHOST
But Brock Feeney, even though he was second fastest, he said we actually had a bit of a struggle today, and then we just put the green tyre on and it fixed everything, but that's not going to wash for the race, so they've still got some work to do there.
Andrew van LeeuwenHOST
Yeah, and I kind of wonder, we had a bit of a chat to the guys at Team 8 at the end of the day, but probably didn't delve into it as much as we wanted to, but that was a really weird...
Mark WinterbottomGUEST
I thought Jack LeBrock, which I don't want to seem unfair, but I thought he would be one of the ones that would drop out.
Mark WinterbottomGUEST
But Ryan Wood and Kai Allen, they were two surprises for me in particular.
Mark WinterbottomGUEST
I thought they were a good chance to get in.
Mark WinterbottomGUEST
I still thought Ryan Wood was going to go on and get through on Sunday, but it just shows these finals.
Mark WinterbottomGUEST
You honestly cannot choose or pick who is favourite to go through.
Mark WinterbottomGUEST
So a couple of big names out, a couple of just scraped through with Deepa Squally and Cam Waters there but the fight continues but the weather conditions the higher risk of the Gold Coast circuit I thought really showed its hand and kind of showed how hard these finals are because like I said I thought any of those top 10 could have got through but weather luck, reliability mistakes, they play a big part and it cost Kai Allen in particular and Woody, he was a good story point for Sunday.
Mark WinterbottomGUEST
He just missed out.
James PaveyHOST
Frosty, let's just hit straight into it.
Ian HealyHOST
Well, I will do, mate.
Ian HealyHOST
Hey, Garth, you work with Kai Allen and Matt Payne, both – you know, driving particularly well.
Ian HealyHOST
And I think one thing that's come to the fore over the last couple of years, the styles have got a bit rougher again.
Ian HealyHOST
They've been allowed to do a bit more.
Ian HealyHOST
And the skill level of Australian drivers is right at the front.
Ian HealyHOST
What are these guys like, the personalities on and off the track of Kai Allen and Matt Payne? Yeah, it's
Garth TanderGUEST
a good point, Hills.
Garth TanderGUEST
It's definitely a young man's game.
Ian HealyHOST
Well, I will do, mate.

Jarrod HughesGUEST
was actually a Cert 3 in business, which was quite funny.
Jarrod HughesGUEST
So Kai Allen was there at the same time and he was doing a Cert 3 in mechanical or whatever you call that one.
Jarrod HughesGUEST
But Paul was like, no, that's not your alley.
Jarrod HughesGUEST
Let's go down a different business side of things.
