What a joke that is

Worst thing is that if it does get overturned it’s a massive anti-climax.

 

[Daniel Flynn]

You're allowed to move once..... that' what he did

Pushing someone straight into a fence?

 

[CURVE]

As a neutral who hates both Ford and Holden, the penalty was the only thing the officials could do, but this is going to be a controversial decision and controversial championship no matter what.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Why interview him? Seriously.

 

[Amazing Racer]

And of course someone with a microphone has to interview a guy after that crushing end
...

 

[Daniel Flynn]

F*ck McLaughlin was almost in tears better luck next year, you have a tonne of upside and you'll definitely bounce back

Hmm after that replay I’m not so sure...

SVG seems unenthused about Jamie... I dare say he would of rather Scotty win that.

 

[Allikat]

Why interview him? Seriously.

Yeah that was messed up. Let him mourn a little first

 

[Daniel Flynn]

And what a shit time to interview someone honestly

Looked like the worst of the hit though came from the wall coming out and narrowing at that point of the track. Immediate call from the officials which is never done. Can put a nice * on this championship to Whincup.

Yeah, poor track design and place for it to occur, but if the wall wasn't there McLaughlin's move across to pinch Lowndes would have forced the latter off the track. The desperate attempt to cover Lowndes was understandable, but for mine it's a clear penalty.

Ultimately Lowndes wouldn't have got past if it wasn't McLaughlin's mistake moments earlier.

Had to play 2nd fiddle today and has to almost every week but still a little bit sh*t to see...

Pushing someone straight into a fence?

I reckon CL would have gotten away with it

 

[demon21]

So after years of not doing much and being on the best team for long period of the time and not being able to win a championship with Red Bull Lowndes finally did something.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Not allowed to block ?

 

[hey shorty]

Not allowed to block ?

You can't shoot Bambi

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Assuming that DJRTP protest, they need to use Whincup’s move at Pukekohe as an example. Whincup was black flagged, which should’ve bee now Scott’s penalty.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Red bull over celebrating to make it look harder to rake it off them. Slade nails Pye and got no penalty

Umm I find that hard to believe mate

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

lol tainted. It's so ironic that they win it from their bunnies up top.

 

[hey shorty]

Umm I find that hard to believe mate

Tell me, shoe on the other foot, is it a penalty ??

It's a very tough block, borderline illegal block but he has to be able to defend. He moved once, squeezed Lowndes and Craig wanted to go on with it. He HAS to be able to defend his position for a championship

 

[hey shorty]

Also, they made the decision far far quicker than any others during the year.

 

[hey shorty]

Assuming that DJRTP protest, they need to use Whincup’s move at Pukekohe as an example. Whincup was black flagged, which should’ve bee now Scott’s penalty.

Definetly right.

Either way there's an asterix next to this title

Reminds me of the controversy when Rick Kelly got a drive through penalty after tagging Lowndes in the final race at Phillip Island in 2006. Despite the penalty that incident ultimately handed Kelly the championship.

Nothing will change. Ego is too big to do anything about it.

And then Triple 8 called the lawyers and got laughed out of court
