The Run Home: Unpacking the 2025 Semi Final

Yeah, really good weekend.

I think what it shows, that team's very good on the blue sidewall tyre.

Again, very dominant on the Saturday.

But I said in this last episode how important friends are and teammates.

And

personally, I

think Rowan Wood would have won that race.

He wins that race hands down.

Having an ally in the corner and having some form at the right time.

Chad's in the box.

He did a really good job on the weekend, but he owes Ryan Wood a couple of beers, I'm sure, at the end of the year because he helped him out big time on Saturday.

Pavey, I'm sure you would have spoken to Ryan Wood across the weekend.

You just can't help but feel so much empathy for him.

He's been so fast all year long, really deserves a ticket in probably the final four.

And just the mechanical issues, the failures they've had have cost him his championship at the end of the day.

Yeah, big time, Marie.

I mean, they were leading the Repco Bathurst 1000.

They should have won that race, in my opinion.

They had everything going for them.

They should have won that race.

And so his seating in the finals would have been stronger, which means had he had that problem he did while leading on the Gold Coast, he probably still makes it to Sandown.

So I agree with Frosty.

I think he was in the box seat to win Saturday's race, but he played the team game perfectly.

I love how he just eased out of the throttle into Turn 1, let Chas through.

But the defensive efforts to keep Will Brown behind were... what you need from a teammate.
