HRT whinging again

mtpanorama · 29 Sep 2001, 12:58 (Ref:153243)

Heard from a 100% reliable source (official type person) that HRT have made a complaint about the new Gibson Motorsport Falcon. Apparently the seat is positioned to far back and some of the roll cage is not legal.

The thing is that it seems that HRT are the ones that are the first to complain about this type of thing.

What's your point ? If it was the other way round and Gibson Motorsport were claiming a HRT car was illegal you'd be throwing all sorts of accusations at HRT saying well this explains everything or something like that.

Rules are rules and if the car is illegal better it gets sorted now before the big one come Sunday.

Nothing sux more than controversial Bathurst results that end up getting over turned...didn't that happen a couple of times in the late 80s ?

It certainly happened in the case of the Eggenberger cars... and look at that episode!

There were protests flying from before scrutineering, but nothing was done. They won the race, so then it was important to prevent any of the protests being proved true, thus the case draggen on and on... it was months before we knew Brock won that race!

HRT.......... who needs 'em ?

Looks like they are already worried and they have yet to even arrive at the track

Hopefully Skaife will lose it over the top of the mountain.

Buckshot,
Im not having a go about the Gibson car being illegal, I dont care who it is that has an illeagal car, as long as it is fixed.

The person who told me this information told me that HRT are the instigators of most of the acusations that go on about legal/ illegal cars. He is sick of hearing from them, and most of the othe teams are as well.

BTW AJ, I agree with you as well

Do you honestly think Gibson would 'cheat' on something so obvious as a roll cage or seating position? It's a very clear cut thing and obvious thing...looking at the photos of it, it appears no different to any other car out there, but the seat doesn't have those head restraint 'loops.

I have no idea about the Gibson Falcon and its seating position as I haven't really seen the car except for a few snaps. But HRT are well where a law onto themself . I remember when TGD was driving for HRT in 96 and won everything mainly due to the fact that his HRT commodre was different to every car outthere in its roll bar design Cams even baned the petty bar setup and said no more cars to be build with one. BUT that car with TGD still competed with it so effectively there was three cars outthere and only one car won everything (funny that ) & MR BROCK was not allowed to have one and he was the lead driver.

But if any one will cry its always HRT & Mr greach oh! and LP
not a surprize really . I just don't know who is in who's pocket more HRT to Cams or Cams to HRT
