A.R.S.E.

And the safety gear looks unchanged..

Was that the Meter that went flying in the car?

looks like the cover off something. Not sure what though.

From memory the broadcasting gear is on the back seat area.

Courtney and Pye have been announced as Walkinshaw drivers for next year. No word on where Tander is going yet. Rumors are he'll be at GRM.

Well, how was that for a Bathurst 1000?

How many bathurst wins can whincup throw away?

Keep getting shitted off at comments about the pussy wagon doing well. They were 2 seconds off the pace and got lapped on pace alone. How are people thinking this is good?

How many opportunities do they get to drive these cars? Need a lot of seat time to drive these things well. They've had 4 days in a year under race weekend conditions.

I say good on them for finishing and having a go

I reckon whincups penalty was rough. Was hoping giz would win though

Gracie has had 2 fucking years in these cars, all the other drivers who don't drive V8's full time were up to pace. Just no excuse at all

nope.


He slowed dramatically on the racing line, to stop Tander getting in front of him.

he caused that WHOLE incident. had he have redressed the position safely, Tander wouldnt have been where he was when Mclaughlin came back on track.

I agree he shouldnt have tried to re address so soon. Scotty shouldn't have come belting on the track at full pace. As he did that tander was trying to pass whincup. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but everyone played a part in it

Red Bull have filed a protest against the 15 second penalty in a move that surprises noone

What a shambles that was. I agree they all played their part in it but it started with Whincup & a penalty had to be issued.
My issue with it was the penalty should have been a PLP, no way should Whincup have been allowed to continue at the front of the race, no less.
Who knew what could have happened by the end of the race, he could've still won it albeit under very extraordinary circumstances but the chance was still there.
A PLP would have put him at the back of the queue & out of contention for the win or even a descent place. It would have been a more fitting penalty & much less confusing, especially for the TV audience (some who only tune in late) as well as us fans & everyone in the paddock trying to work out where Whincup would end up placing.

I too wanted SVG to win it but I'm wrapped for Tekno & for Jono Webb, he's put so much into the sport as a privateer, single car team.
It was also great to see after what happened in 2014 with him & ironically SVG missing the win at the last pit-stop with a stall & no working starter motor.

It was also a day for the not so typical drivers of each team placing well compared to their more established team-mates.

oh great.

Great race again for Tekno, always at the right spot at the right time.

Any further info on the BOC that went into the wall? guessing something with the RF wheel area for it to dart like that, others where in the marbles and still made the turn.

Just felt weird that the car that won didn't lead a lap in the whole race. Pit lane penalty would've been more normal i think

Yeah I don't see why they couldn't have given a pit lane penalty. Atm they can get the time back....

Apparently it was a level 1 incident which is a car leaving the track but not spinning after a touch with a competitor. If a redress isn't carried out then it's a 10 point deduction from the drivers points. Sounds like the officials made up their own penalty and that's why 888 are protesting. To be honest they have a case.

Umm yes the initial incident my have been level 1 but the redress is what caused the bigger incident. That took 2 cars off track & is why I still believe a PLP was what should have been issued. (without actually reading the V8SC rule book).

Be interesting to see what comes of the protest if there has indeed been an incorrect implementation of the rules.
Just not sure there would be anything specific to cover that situation though.

I do feel for JW as he was trying to do the correct thing & it was really a misjudgment by all parties involved.
Hence McLaughlin getting a post race penalty for his part in it.

I think the redress rules are the main thing at fault here rather than anything the drivers did. The initial contact wasnt really much but under the rules JW has to slow down to let SM back in front which he was doing. He didn't seem to be trying to block Garth, once out of the corner he stuck to the left to let Garth pass and let Scott back on the track to then get back in front. Technically JW did everything by the book, the problem was an unfortunate series of events with Scott coming back into the middle of the track from the right as Garth went to the middle of the track from the left. No one really did anything wrong, it just all happened in the same spot at the same time.

While what you say is correct supercars told redbull the 15 sec time penalty was soley for the hit with scotty and nothing to do with the accident after. Therefore redbull have a case he should get the win and a 10 point deduction if they followed the rules they made

Without seeing the charge sheet, I'l have him under cams 7.2 (v)
It is not permitted to drive an automobile unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner deemed potentially
dangerous to other Drivers at any time

By slowing unexpectedly on race lane, that is what I believe he did

Im not a fan of appeals in motorsport. You dont see Geelong appealing against a free kick given to hawthorn which then won the hawks the game. Umpires decision should be final. Otherwise the last 10 laps were run under false conditions and every other team can appeal.

End of day Jaimie made a silly move that ultimately caused all this. Screwed up. Move on.
