Absolute stupidity at its finest.
Agree, that was a very scary moment.

The 'go point' needs to be mandatory if the drivers are unable to self-regulate.

I'm going to tip a prodrive pole today and a Nissan winner just get a feeling that today will be an upset victory

I like your positivity and it would be great to finally see a Nissan win however they have massively underachieved. But yes it would be great for the sport.

Some mechanical equipment is just not fit for purpose
You can measure and weigh and bolt on and bolt off.
And it can look exactly the same as the one sitting next tonit.
Yet it's not as good as that other one.

You don't believe that stuff happens til you see it first hand.

Good on him to for having the guts to unleash on Walkinshaw. What was it Walkinshaw and Burgess said last year, if I recall it was something along the lines of 'Garth is losing it, nothing wrong with the car'. Does this mean James is losing it too, for JC lets hope he looks for a team soon in case little whinger Ryan says, your a has been, see you. Neither Garth or James are lacking in talent, I am not a fan of either that much.

Its a team sport, nothing is gained from an outburst like that, especially this early in the season

“I feel like I am getting the reputation of being the dirtiest driver out there a little bit,” she said of her penalty. (Simona De Silvestro) (V8s website)

Does this seem like Simona acting like a princess or what. I have no issues with females in racing but I have seen a lot of blaming and not much taking responsibility from Simona. Adelaide, it was Courtney's fault for accidently hitting her when she didn't indicate to pit and then slowed on the race line. Barbagello, complains about the track, then complains that Chaz was at fault for coming over the crest with his lights on. Then says she has earnt a dirty name because of this year. No sympathy for her or anyone else, do the crime pay the time.

Nothing is gained in blaming drivers for having dodgy equipment, which is what we saw Walkinslow do with Garth. No excuse either they were factory backed at the time. Need a good environment to keep a driver happy, clearly this doesn't exist in Walkinshaw. Look at Dave last year in Erebus, didn't have a great car but was still happy.

No, I don't see that at all.

It's just one of those things she has had to learn the hard way, that is fairly unique to the catagory. Another of those unwritten rules.

Should it have to be written. Anyone with half a brain and logic will realise that the racing line, as it suggest, is for racing. Problem is some drivers don't think so there is an unofficial rule that is brought up in briefing. There is no excuse for what happened yesterday for any of the nissans. As for Dave, looking at the replay it was a racing incident really, still need to be consistent which has happened. Too many whingers who say why not put this and that in. Why not bubble wrap it. When it comes to safety, anyone with brains would know. Same goes for the team. Wasn't Chaz or Sladey in the wrong for the three Nissans not using their brains.

Difference is Walkinshaw is the boss, Courtney the employee

If Ryan is anything like his father, maybe Courtney should have a few words with Steve Soper before he criticises the team?

Courtney seems to be Supercars version of Alonso , a top driver trapped in an uncompetitive situation?
