banksie should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Given Ingall and Caruso were moving in pit lane without their seat belts sitting over their hans device, surprised no penalties were given. Were the rules changed between Sandown and Gold Coast?

From what I gather, they just have to be fastened at the centre buckle.

There was a lot of radio chat with teams specifically telling their drivers to loosen the belts upon entering the pitlane.

The requirements were changed - it was covered during Saturday's telecast. The drivers must have the belts fastened (clipped in) but only need to have them tight over the hans etc prior to leaving pit lane.

Fabian needed to arc up.
If not to give GT a deserving spray, then at least show some anger on behalf of everyone required to put his car back together.

Tander looked guilty as in his interview, he totally stuffed it and knew it. I recall him calling others dirty dogs previously. Mirror time Garth.

Exciting finish to the enduro c'ship though, we won't be forgetting this one any time soon with the controversy of Tander winning Sandown with his panels blowing in the wind, the Bathurst incident and appeal farce and now the deliberate highspeed unloading of Coulthard by the man involved in everything other than a 2017 contract.

Sounds more like a frustrated Ford fan having a good whinge.

well at least you described it as a good whinge.

Not really frustrated more confused why Fabian seems so nonplussed.
Other drivers would be lining up to tear him a new one

Maybe in hindsight fabs thought that not blocking the faster tander, who's reputation is not that of a clean, fair driver, may have been the better call.

But hey, he's allowed to block and he did. Shame he ended in the wall with nothing, but you play with fire...
