The leaders have come in for the second pit stop of this race.

Car 17, Brodie Kostecki/Todd Hazelwood has come out ahead of the leading group.

Hazelwood is in the car, as Brodie Kostecki takes a rest.

The Dick Johnson Racing number 38 is limping back to the pits.

Tony D'Alberto is driving with a car that is sinking on the rear-left.

Macauley Jones in the number 96 has spun around on the way up the mountain.

He is facing the wrong way at The Cutting.

Jones tries to do a U-turn, but he cannot get around it.

He does a seven-point turn, as drivers race by.

The leader of the Bathurst 1000 has come into the pits.

Will Brown led that entire stint, and he stays in the car.

Matt Payne (19) pits and serves his five-second penalty.

G'day Sue.

The leaderboard on the broadcast is only showing 24 cars, but there are still 26 out on track.

I assume this is because the two wildcard entries has stuffed around the graphics for the broadcast team.

Currently:

25th: Nathan Herne/James Moffat — Garry Rogers Motorsport, Chevrolet +1 lap

26th: Jackson Walls/Jack Perkins — SCT Motorsport, Ford +14 laps

The Grove Racing number 26 is again the first to pit.

Tim Slade, the co-driver, stays in the car for a second stint.

 David Reynolds has just been interviewed from the garage, and was asked about the moment when he was forced onto the grass by Matt Payne (19).

Payne crowded Reynolds on the back straight coming down the mountain, and has been handed a five-second penalty for his actions.

It's safe to say, Reynolds is not thrilled with the actions of last year's Bathurst 1000 winner.

Matt's not the sharpest tool in the shed, is he?

I don't know what he was doing. It's too early to be playing silly-buggers like that.

He had a lot more pace, he had the fastest car, so I don't know why he was doing that.

David Reynolds has come into the pits after just 14 laps.

We are seeing the rear tyres which have come off, and those tyres are horrid.

The number 48 car has a big, big issue when it comes to tyres at the end of the race.

The stewards have seen Matt Payne (19) force David Reynolds (48) off the track, and they did not like it.

Car 19 has a five-second penalty, which will be served at the next pit stop.

"He didn't lose any ground," an annoyed Payne says when told of his penalty.

David Reynolds (48) was running in seventh, but he has dropped down to 10th.

His co-driver, James Courtney, was complaining on the first stint about the car, and it doesn't look any better.

Matt Payne (19) made a pass at Forrest's Elbow, and then on the run down the mountain forced Reynolds onto the grass.

Reynolds then lost another two spots.

Scott Pye — 888

It was a tricky first stint.

We had a lot of speed, so I was able to fuel save massivly.

Aaron Seton — 10

It was cool to get it off the line and get a good start.

Very thankful to the team and looking forward to watching Zach.

Well.

We have a new net leader of the Bathurst 100, and it is the number 888 Triple Eight Race Engineering team.

Co-driver Scott Pye pitted, main driver Will Brown got behind the wheel.

And the Triple Eight crew did a magnificent job.

They have jumped ahead of four cars to effectively go from fifth to first.

Cooper Murray remains chilling in the garage.

Lochie Dalton, his co-driver in the number 99 entry, is doing a second stint.

Great drive from Aaron Seton.

He has led the entire first stint and now pits.

Main driver Zach Bates, the fastest driver in qualifying and the shootout, gets behind the wheel.

Aaron Seton (10) has driven a wonderful first stint, and has led the opening 23 laps of this race.

But he is under pressure from Todd Hazelwood (17) for the lead of the race.

The top 15 runners have not pitted yet, but they will be very soon.

We are going through the first round of pit stops.

It looks like tyre degradation could be a major factor today.

This is the hottest day of the weekend, and some of the rear tyres on the cars that have pitted look awful.

James Courtney was complaining about power steering issues.

He had pitted; David Reynolds hopped into the car, and the team sent the car out again without inspecting under the hood.

Kai Allen has come into the pits, and he has hopped out of the number 26 Grove Racing Ford.

Co-driver Tim Slade has got behind the wheel.

A very nice first stint by Allen, who had jumped from 11th to seventh before pitting.
