did you even see #6

i dont actually remember seeing it

you could see how much Jamie was struggling with the pressure this weekend, where as Will did everything just right

Pro Racer · 8 Nov 2009, 06:10 (Ref:2578003)

that SC was ****ed (excuse the french) it could of caused a huge prang. yes the SC reacts to what race (out) of control tells it to do but surely the driver could of looked in the mirror and seen car #1 flashing.

It was sent into the pits at one point, and when #7 was taking pics of its favourites, the #6 car was in the background...

The fastest lap in R22 for #6 was 1:37.5811, the fastest lap of the race was 1:36.1299....

Glad I dont do FPR's rocket surgery

Pro Racer · 8 Nov 2009, 06:20 (Ref:2578013)

had cars not fallen off the road would it have been such a "rocket"?

Spin...Spin...Spin...

I forgot/missed Skaife's comments. To me it looked liked Bright went wide at turn 2 with no help, but seeing the replay today from the back of Whincup's car. it clearly shows Todd tagging Bright.

Bargwanna was certainly driving for his career is todays race. I liked Skaife's comment "if I was Lowndes he would be in the sand trap".

Poor showing by S Richards this weekend. FPR need to start reading the fine print in his contract to find an out. Winterbottom proved it's not a car problem.

...Mrs Frosty isn't happy...?...

Who was driving the Safety Car today...Mr Tander was very [very] defensive in the press conference.

He made some good points though.

Mixer · 8 Nov 2009, 06:57 (Ref:2578029)

Wow, fair race, but if SVG and Lowndes don't get penalties for Frosty and Bargs respectively then Tomas Mezera needs a new guide dog.

And before you say it, yes, Bargs was driving like an idiot but 2 wrongs don't make a right and you just don't spear someone off the track like that.

And FFS pinging Todd for an unsafe release at 40km/h but not having enough evidence to ping SVG?

Was it only on BP streaming, is there somewhere you can view it on demand?

I've stated my opinion and supporting evidence, what's yours?

SVG clearly speared into Frosty in a pass that was never on, and Lowndes and Bargs were both driving like ********s, and frankly both should be punished for careless driving.

I lay the blame squarely with Larko. TV coverage clearly demonstrates this, I dont know how you missed this.
Microphone telemetry also confirms.
Sorry you're outta luck here.

Man what are you smoking?

SVG hit Frosty in the rear bumper and Lowndes hit Bargs in the back bumper.

B pillar is half way up the car.

Maybe they can put him in the 3rd car (Bottle-O) and get a gun in the main car?

UPDATE 4: 1830hrs Sunday 8th November 2009

Matters arising from Race 22:

During the Race Stewards imposed a Pit Lane Penalty on Todd Kelly Car #7 for an unsafe release from his Pit bay.

After an investigation and admission by Shane van Gisbergen that he drove carelessly in an incident with Mark Winterbottom Car #5 in Turn 1 Stewards imposed the penalty of a loss of 15 Championship Points.

After an investigation concerning contact between Craig Lowndes Car #888 and Jason Bargwanna Car #3 no breach of Rules was established.

After an investigation concerning contact between Tim Slade Car #67 and Greg Murphy Car #51 no breach of Rules was established.

UPDATE 3: 1230hrs Sunday 8th November 2009

Matters arising from Qualifying:

Stewards imposed a Fine of $300 on Russell Ingall Car #39 for speeding in Pit Lane.

Mixer · 8 Nov 2009, 08:13 (Ref:2578053)

So 888 more or less have a free hit on Bargwanna then?

And since when isn't the standard penalty taking somebody out a PLP added to your race time. Talk about consistently inconsistent.
