Trying to overturn the race resultSo why are the stewards re-opening the case to look at the impact it had on the race if it was such a nothing incident?
I’m hearing that the team orders must have been given to Fabs when he was out of the car. Nothing in the comms between his team and him when he was in the car. It seems unlikely that he’d just do it as spur of the moment type of stuff.The Coulthard incedent needs to be reviewed because it was a terrible look and gave Whincup and McLaughlin an advantage late in the race, but I
can't see how they can prove that Coulthard slowing down effected the result of the race.
I don't think anything will come of it other than perhaps a rule change for next season (not sure what that could be) and perhaps a fine for DJR/Penske.
That opens up a myriad of other problems. Plus, who wanted to watch two extra laps of follow the leader because SVG had nothing behind ScottyMac in the Mustang over that final lap.Any chance safety car laps could be amended to not count.
Finishing under safety car or only having 1 racing lap left is completely stupid.
Stuffed what was a great race.

Would McLaughlin have been able to fuel save as much as he did id SVG was right on his bumper?The thing is, the one who was really penalised was Fabian.
It actually gave JW and Shane a chance to win as well.

Fuel, race time, distance travelled, deliberately crashing a car to close a gap for your teammate.What are the myriad of other problems?
The last point seems like a biased point of view and is not a reason to change it.
I get the first few points but I don’t think they are much of an issue.Fuel, race time, distance travelled, deliberately crashing a car to close a gap for your.
It's not really, the aerowash was so bad no one could really overtake all day.What are the myriad of other problems?

SVG couldn't get to his bumper because he was also fuel saving. It screwed Whincup a bit but it actually brought SVG back into the race when he was in as bad a spot as Scotty.Would McLaughlin have been able to fuel save as much as he did id SVG was right on his bumper?
Everyone behind Fabian had their race compromised by DJR team orders
You’re looking at it from the point of view thinking I’m bringing it up because Scotty won.It's not really, the aerowash was so bad no one could really overtake all day.
The car that won the race was the car that should have won over the balance of the whole weekend and even race day.
I suspect they'll take team points away though, it wasn't a good look. Unless of course DJR can show data that proves their point, which I doubt they will.
In the end, Coulthard was penalised, it had nothing to do with Scotty.
That would be funny.Reading the latest
I predict they are going to disqualify Penske Racing and hand the race to 888
Not for the seriesThat would be funny.
Not for Scotty though.

If he does so does FordPenske should walk away from the sport if this happens.
I didn't enjoy it but those are the rules. You can't penalise a guy who's done absolutely nothing wrong.You’re looking at it from the point of view thinking I’m bringing it up because Scotty won.
It’s got nothing to do with that.
Maybe it’s my speedway background but it just seems stupid that the laps count.
Did you enjoy Percat wining in Adelaide under the safety car?
