V8s would benefit from more NASCAR style rulings (and commentary) no doubt. Biff and barge, bash and crash, liberal application of racing room rules, TC could suggest it as an improvement to the show perhaps?

CAMS Stuff

Mr Caruso needs a lesson in managing the field after a SC pulls off... CAMS gave him a reprimand... I thought a drive thru equivalent would be the course taken but apparently not.

Hello kettle, I'm pot and you're black.

Who pulled straight out into the traffic when he got spun causing some unnecessary braking and avoidance by the following cars

I would of thought there would be at least some mention of that (even if there was no case to answer), as I think it was Steven Richards who had to slow down and take a different line to avoid Garth

Congrats Craig on a good win and a Voda 1-2.

Will be interesting to see if anyone re-uses the sprint tyre early today or save it to the end of the race. I expect Junior to come home top 5 today.

its funny that they guy that wins didnt get involved in 4 incidents and won. yet this loud mouth gets involved in 4 incidents and they are all "someone elses fault"

you have to love the battle between Will and GT. 5 out of 5 now for the newbie. if only he could qualify (what were they thinking "saving tyres for the next bit"

PS i think we all saw yesterday that skaife has a holden bias

i dont think we will see any re-uses i got the impression there is not really any benefit because they are well past there best.

Im picking JNR for a win

sjames · 2 May 2009, 22:38 (Ref:2454283)

I'm thinking the stratagy for today for those with soft tyres left will be to try to get to about 25 too 30 laps left to run, if there is a safety car after that they will almost unstoppable.

Anyone got an answer on this? Have the rules changed?

peckstar · 2 May 2009, 23:47 (Ref:2454293)

didnt they change the rules last year to allow the give them a bit of a shove as long as yo dont turn them around

edit and GTR (even though its in the enxt post) is it fair to say that maybe GT should have left some room, afterall he new fabian was on sprint tyres and he should have played it smart and allowed fabian to past, instead of holding them up for over a lap

**GTRMagic** · 2 May 2009, 23:47 (Ref:2454294)

The old 'b-pillar' rule is still the one being enforced...

Mr Coulthard was too aggressive in his dealings with Mr Tander... just as Mr Murphy was some laps later with Mr Patrizi...

Unless they are on the last corner of the very last lap... there is no real rush to punt people off if there is genine pace that can get them past at a 'safer' location on the circuit....

As was said by Skaife in the telecast Tander used to be the same with running into people etc. Shame that Garth's memory isnt what it used to be.

peckstar · 3 May 2009, 00:22 (Ref:2454300)

i think he still is the same. reckon he ran into a few people yesterday and finished at least 2 peoples races

They've been allowing rubbing and the "tap and pass" approach for a while now - what they don't allow is rubbing hard enough to spin or knock a car off track.

Not entirely sure on where they draw the line as it is covered in drivers' briefings but that's the gist.

As GTR said, the B pillar "rule" is still used when apportioning blame if there is an incident.

Geewizz · 3 May 2009, 01:23 (Ref:2454316)

I imagine the pressure on GT at th mo is quite heavy - hence the attitude.... the only shot we saw of Mr Macnamara was down in GRM pits - message there?

**GTRMagic** · 3 May 2009, 01:42 (Ref:2454320)

Q2

Situation normal....................

Yeah - there's work needed to be done in the HRT garage so he'd be nowhere near there!

Amaroo Park · 3 May 2009, 02:14 (Ref:2454335)

The guys on the next him and on the second row will need to be aggresive and try and get Whincup into the first corner.

Cars on yellow tyres just barging the others out of the way, not what i call good motor racing... but apparently to the masses it is

racer, thought about this more and i have the answer now

they were emant to introduce a smaller fuel tank in time for Winton, they were unable to get aenough tanks in time for Winton and as a result they created this one of rule for winton that each team must put in 50 litres of fuel at one poinet during the race

it is a one off here

there is thread where we discuss the fuel tanks

**GTRMagic** · 3 May 2009, 03:21 (Ref:2454345)

And again #7 stuffs up, goes to an adbreak just as Mr Dumbrell was taking Mr Lowndes for the lead@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

peckstar · 3 May 2009, 03:41 (Ref:2454347)

stupid stupid stupid stupid

triple 8 what were you thinking

Amaroo Park · 3 May 2009, 03:56 (Ref:2454350)

Like the pass on Marshall by Lowndes

Senna05 · 3 May 2009, 05:10 (Ref:2454358)

Will we hear more from the 888/FPR Pit situation? Surely Frosty could have gotten out if Whincup wasn't right next to him...and the Tyre could have been alot worse than it was.

I have to admit, the racing with the soft tyre was a little confusing, but a nice change of pace. I give it 3-4 rounds before they get on top of it though, and it's situation normal.

Pro Racer · 3 May 2009, 05:29 (Ref:2454363)

i like the mix up of pace and some of the usual also-rans getting a decent resault, like you say though it can be confusing the stripe is hard to identify and the camera angle isn't always allowing you to see the light. i like what SGR have done and use black wheels for the options.

surely something has to be done about Whinky just parking in pitlane. IMO he sould of been made to go through and not stop.
