And was the fine really for that? Seems to read as if it's for the burnout itself, nothing to do with Brighty...

As one five five said the fine is setting a standard that this style of burnout is not acceptable he was told on radio to wait for cars to pass before commencing and was told don't do a static burnout as it can damage the track im fairly sure

PS2244 · 23 Apr 2017, 09:31 (Ref:3728606)

Sorry just reread the article he was fined becuase the Phillip Island circuit management specifically asked drivers not to do static burnouts it was a one off thing mate won't happen again

At best, stop this ridiculous tradition of burnouts after every race?

At worst, encourage drivers to do it safely and as instructed

PS2244 · 23 Apr 2017, 09:37 (Ref:3728608)

And the fine was placed by circuit management not Supercars

Umai Naa · 23 Apr 2017, 09:41 (Ref:3728610)

It would have been written into the supplementary regs, which are sighted and signed off by the circuit, the catagory, and presumably CAMS.

Mr Winterbottom copped the same fine, for doing similar on the front straight of Sandown, where people were quickly gathering, post race.

With the hyperbole of the thread title I'm guessing you're a News Limited editor

News Limited wouldn't write anything so negative about Supercars

Umai Naa · 23 Apr 2017, 09:57 (Ref:3728614)

Not even Phelps is stupid enough to do that.

DX20VT · 23 Apr 2017, 10:13 (Ref:3728616)

To understand the fine you need to know the difference between a burnout and a static burnout,
and the effect it has on the circuit surface.

Burnouts are allowed, static burnouts are not.

The mullet sporting, stubbies wearing, XXXX drinking, V8 driving bogan

I have to laugh at this, it really does show how stupid the person is who made the comment. Also seems to think that driving in front of another driver isn't dangerous. While I am a big fan of Chaz, I can sort of agree with the safety side, as for the static burnout call, I am on the fence, seems Victoria tracks are run by politicians looking for money.

What does that make someone though who calls people who are true fans of a sport. A dirty, wine drinking, hobit bogan. You cant wear a stubbie and not everyone drinks when we watch it. Also the mullet is gone. I find this very amusing really, some people should work for the circus

It digs holes in the bitumen, it isn't rocket science.

That's why I am on the fence, it depends on the surface I think. In Queensland burnouts are allowed on some tracks, V8s I think its allowed, not sure

After VanGisbergen dug a hole on the Gold Coast I bet it wont be allowed there either.

Similiar thing happened in NASCAR a year or two back after the winner of the Brickyard 400 buried the nose of the car in the pitwall and did a burnout right on the hallowed bricks and leaving two big wheel holes in the ground. Alot of people weren't happy about that

Umai Naa · 23 Apr 2017, 11:56 (Ref:3728648)

Aren't the bricks just paint these days?

simonracer · 23 Apr 2017, 12:00 (Ref:3728649)

No, they're real as far as I know.

No, Definitely still real, I don't think that will ever change, as long as the Hulman-George family own it anyway

The line of bricks runs across the main straight, through the pits and into the spectator area's inside the track too

CAMS implemented the category rules, see my posts on this point in the other thread - this category is controlled by the cronies that are (V8) Supercars, not CAMS

Probably not. If v8s doing a burnout though will damage the surfers road then some of the made drivers up here will do just as much damage

Trevor · 23 Apr 2017, 23:04 (Ref:3728791)

A critical point particular to Phillip Island and that is that is a motorbike track primarily, the State Government has pumped lots of $ into it, the surface is critical for international motorbike racing, any static burnouts will degrade the surface pretty quickly.

agreeing with, but a key point is the static burnout wasnt on the racing surface.

but still the teams knew the rules and i dont reckon Chaz will be too upset. ripper burnout

That's fine and good for the government to look at it that way, and not saying what Chaz did was right, but he did it down the escape route which is a little confusing. I can see why they want the track to be looked after though. Are static burnouts allowed at Bathurst at all

Only in the spectator areas.
