I lol'd. I'm sure you also feel that Whincup was at fault last round when Frosty tried a few times to push him off the road at the fastest turn at the track. and then again with Van Giz...

You are right tho, it was a warning of what Frosty will drive like this year (in his defense, all of his career at FPR, frosty had crap teammates, but now he actually has to pull his finger out, the desperation is showing)

Unlikey that Frosty will be mixing it with Ingall or Courtney.........unless the reverse grid race makes a comeback.

You seem to be implying Frosty will be leading every lap for the rest of the year

Its only a matter of time.

We're not talking about last round, we're discussing today's race.........Tander clearly at fault.

No, Frosty hit first, so he is at fault

Having now seen the footage again, my opinion stands. Just because 6 ford fans disagree with me, it doesn't mean i'm wrong, just that they're all siding with the ford driver (luckily i'm nuetral, My first team is DJR (Ford), my second was PMM (Holden), who now all run fords...)

Frosty is the first to move left, into Tander, then Tander retaliates, even blind freddy can see it!


MW is the new PM it seems

It's not just "6 Ford fans", you have no support from within the holden ranks.......an admission of guilt so to speak.

There were a couple of close ones yesterday. It will be interesting when there are a couple of cars fighting and the first one wants to pit.

And Stealthy, this time your wrong.

Some of that banging stuff knocked the series points around....

What I am curious about is why #7 continues to ignore car #8's pilot...

So,... How does This keep happening?

Surely the series tyre supplier knows that there will be races for the main game and the development series on over the weekend, and that if it rains, a certain quantity of tyres will be needed? At least this time the tyres actually existed, albeit on the other side of the country!

Meantime the development series teams were hamstrung with one set of new wets for the weekend... professional? Not really...

Check the footage, they show the replay from in Reynolds car. It doesn't matter which way you look at it, Frosty turns left and causes the first contact.

From what I heard (not in some powder room by the way) was it was what the V8 guys wanted.. Same with using the last flag point out of turn 7 where the pits start as the finish line and not the normal start/finish line. A few race finishes were cut short you could say but not allowing the full run out of turn 7 to the normal finish line, Whinecup would of probably got back infront of Frosty by the old finish line

But great finish to the race and FPR with their form continuing

Anybody want a job as the safety car controller or safety car driver?

Did Ms Anderson pick up the wrong orange Commodore, or was she instructed to do so?

Uncle Roland isnt too pleased... neither is Mr Stone...

Will a change be made, or is it back to blame free city?

I'm sure there is a fair few grumpy team owners, I was looking at the live timing and I couldn't quite work out how Karl Reindler suddenly jumped from 6 spots behind Murph (Who was just behind 888 & 9) to 6 spots ahead

Looks like the Soft Tyres weren't quite up to 35 laps of Barbagallo by the end....

Actually think that they mention car 8's pilot (in gerneral) more than deserved - even when the car is way back in the field.

Had an interview with the pilot after the last race today so he certainly wasn't ignored at that stage.

Didn't look like it was handled well did it? Could see there was a problem as soon as we came back from the commercial break and 888 was SO far back in the pack.

Not good, not good at all.
