Lol what a beat up.

 

[hey shorty]

Mostert set the fastest lap, let's look at his engine too.

Did he do it with the same engine he used for Quali?

Most teams use a race engine in enduros.

 

[hey shorty]

They were allowed to change the engine anyway, Supercars gave permission.

Shouldn't have anything to worry about having them inspected then

Here comes the technical DQ

Not sure they would be worried.

 

[The Speaker]

Shouldn't have anything to worry about having them inspected then

This is the equivalent of arguing that we shouldn't have any problems with the government snooping on us if we're not doing anything wrong

He's not really been arguing points well for the last few days so it's no surprise.

Nothing on the Supercars website to suggest it's happening at all.

Media getting a hold of this "controversy" Pretty sure SVG and Courtney's motors will also be checked.

Can anything happen without everyone acting like they've got a bucket of sand in their panties?

You acknowledge Penske for playing cheeky buggers, then you put in a rule so that it doesn't happen again, and then you move on.

Lost in the Coulthard shenanigans (not that I’m blaming Fabs) is the Chaz vs Waters stoush. Has anyone heard if the fists were flying or Tim Edwards went troppo after the race?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

NSWCROW I watched the whole race. There were periods of not paying attention and playing around on my phone but the point is I stayed on the couch.

Will use alcohol next year.

Chaz spoke to Cam straight after the race and left the track.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

Waters is usually good at being sour but he held back on sunday. Don't think this will end a friendship.

Chaz spoke to Cam straight after the race and left the track.

For the second time

Wonder how often this happens?

 

[hey shorty]

Wonder how often this happens?

Every weekend according to Ryan Walkinshaw. Their engines are also being looked at but the article fails to mention it.

 

[hey shorty]

I should clarify that, every weekend teams have their engines looked at but not every team every weekend.

 

[The Swans Blog]

Ridiculous statement.

If Fabs keeps the 10 car lengths and Scotty has a better stop he STILL comes out in front of everyone. SVG had ample laps to have a crack at him and failed, and Whincup couldn't even get past the WAU car who was saving fuel.

T8 have done this on more than one occasion and not been penalised. They didn't even appeal the decision this time.

Quite a lot of cars didn't pit...

Lel....no worries...should we apply this logic to other cheats? EFC? Smith/Warner/Bancroft?

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

People should listen to Below the Bonnet, a great appraisal from a ford and holden driver who both featured in the race....both think it was extremely dodgy, unfair and brings the category into disrepute...
