What rule is broken exactly?
12 seconds less fuel ?? Rubbish. Courtney also said he didn't have the speed to match Scotty. You have no idea about facts.
30 laps and no one could get past him, yet the race was fixed.... spare me.
At that stage of a stint it's hard to believe, 12 litres perhaps.60 litres more. Find that hard to believe
I'm not suggesting his car was overheating either, that was Ryan Story digging a hole for himself.
T8 did so in NZ last year, I think JW held the field back a long way and was penalised like Fabs was.... Also they did the same at Bathurst in 2015.
My precious Ford..... god you're a child.
They do, go through history and see how many times teams have done it. Ferrari, Benetton, McLaren, T8, Prodrive, Ganassi..... they've all done it.
They broke the rules on Sunday, I don't see anyone here questioning that at all. You're picking fights you don't really have any authority to do so, especially for someone rarely seen on this board.
Decent post, surely the general view isn't that they are likely to be disqualified? I would have it at about a 5% chance?Gee, a few people getting wound up here over the usual media beat-up and deliberate misrepresentation for the sake of a story.
Fact 1: Car #12 was found to have breached rule D24.1 in regards to acceptable practices while following a safety car and was penalised accordingly during the race.
Fact 2: The penalty was mainly due to race stewards determining the telemetary data and related evidence from Car #12 did not support the claim from the DRJ team that the car was suffering from over heating.
Fact 3: Race stewards then referred their findings (together with all other race incidents as normal process) to CAMS who are now investigating whether the actions of Car #12 could of affected the outcomes and final results of the race - taking into account there were three subsequent safety cars deployed after the incident.
Fact 4. Until the investigation is completed, on 20/10/19, DJR Team duo Scott McLaughlin and Alex Premat are the provisional winners, with Coulthard and his co-driver Tony D’Alberto sixth.
Fact 5. Cars finishing 1-2-3 throughout the season are required to make their cars available for technical inspection and analysis after every race. Whether or not these inspections take place on all or any cars is at the discretion of race stewards.
Opinion.
Despite the media ignoring most of the above 'facts' and speculating that it is 'highly likely' that Car #17 and/or Car #12 will be disqualified - the reality is, judging by similar incidents and rulings over the past few years, AT WORST, the DRJ team cars/drivers will be fined and lose some championship points.
Even if CAMS conclude that the DRJ team issued an instruction to the Driver of Car #12 to go slow which created an unwarranted large gap between Cars #17 and Car #12 for tactical reasons, it's 'highly unlikely' given the unknown future race permutations that CAMS can/will disqualify either car....
This rule only applies when you’re behind the safety car.POLL: Should Supercars close the pits under Safety Car?
With controversy erupting at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, Speedcafe.com wants to know if you think Supercars should close the pit lane under Safety Car, in this week’s Pirtek Pollwww.speedcafe.com
10.2.2.3 Maintain a maximum distance of 5 Car lengths from the Car in front.
But that rule is hard to enforce until they get within that length.
The point being that you can't actually say it determined the course of the race because there's far too many variables.Decent post, surely the general view isn't that they are likely to be disqualified? I would have it at about a 5% chance?
Ive also seen people mention that there were 3 subsequent safety cars as if thats supposed to justify the end result?
Surely it doesnt matter if there was 0 or 25 subsequent safety cars.
I think green flag stops are the way to go.This rule only applies when you’re behind the safety car.
Well clearly if the safety car is on track they are behind it.This rule only applies when you’re behind the safety car.

You can't disqualify the Penske cars form the results. But having seen the ramifications of such actions from Coulthard, you put in a rule saying that if you can't keep up a reasonable pace at any stage, you get out of the way and let the cars behind pass.
Then you add another rule to say that if it happens again, Deadly Blood must hire a bobcat to remove the sand from their panties.
Much to the media's disappointment (and possibly a fewHoldenOpel fans) I seriously doubt neither car will be disqualified.
Hey Posters. Don’t be so elitist on this board. I’ve read every post and watched all of last Sunday’s laps . Casual posters could be long time readers and well nuanced in the sport .

It's happened in NZ, you deal with it and move on.I guess the question you all have to ask yourselves is if this were RBR doing the exact same to assist Whincup win..... would you feel the same? And would you be happy with a fine and loss of team points?
Sure thing......Hey Posters. Don’t be so elitist on this board. I’ve read every post and watched all of last Sunday’s laps . Casual posters could be long time readers and well nuanced in the sport .
