Supercars race canceled in Melbourne due to rain

Race 7 of the Repco Supercars Championship at the Melbourne SuperSprint was cancelled due to rain. Despite some drivers wanting to race, officials decided to stop the event after only a few laps under the Safety Car. Concerns about puddles on the track and the risk of crashes influenced the decision. The short turnaround time to prepare cars for the next event in New Zealand also played a role. While some team members expressed disappointment, others felt the cancellation was justified. The situation highlighted ongoing debates about racing in wet conditions and the effectiveness of wet weather tires.
