I didn’t see much different to any other serious passing move, except the chasee was blocking and sitting in the middle of corners and slow out of them.
There seems to be a racing talent gulf in the category, some can drive fast cars really fast, while others have no good experience of carrying a grip less sick dog of a car.
So.. punt hard.. punt early… Jack rabbit.. go!

The two taps Shane gave Brown were nothing, you see more than that in the opening laps of every race. Brown looks like a little boy, and last night he acted like one. The fact is the lead car sets the terms of engagement. He can try and put in qualifying laps to the end and try and out pace the chasing car. If he can't do that he can give up his spot clean or he goes into full defensive mode. Defensive mode is he stops driving the racing line and drives to block any opportunities for the chasing car to make a pass. In doing so he forces the chasing driver into make an aggressive pass or just stay in behind. People see the chasing car trying to force passes, but don't see the lead car is no longer on the racing line and is positioning his car to block. The chasing car always gets the bad rap even though he has been forced into it. Brown showed no fight at all last night, he should ask his team mate to drop his pants for a moment to show him what a pair looks like as he has none. All mouth and no go. I don't know what Supercars are doing? They don't want to put on a show? Look at Perth with Kostecti and SVG going toe to toe, that was great TV. Are they not in the entertainment business? or are they trying to kill it.
As for Ryan, a guy of his age that hasn't yet mastered how to control his stupid mouth on live TV is a disgrace. At one time it was refreshing to have someone just say it how it is, that was a longtime ago. Someone needs to take him under their wing and suffocate him.
