V8 Utes 2015/6
What great series, but....
Geoff Fane fined $10k for an idiotic crash http://www.speedcafe.com/2015/03/01/...ng-utes-crash/ |

Interesting to see what penalty will be given to the driver that drove through Turn 8 with the bonnet obscuring his vision resulting in an accident.
Sitting out the next meeting would be a good starting point. |

The Geoff Fane crash was shown on the news. I didn't see the race, so am unsure of the context of the crash, or whether there was any underlying problem with the vehicle causing it to veer to the right (giving him the benefit of the doubt).
Assuming there wasn't, it was one of the most shocking pieces of driving I've ever seen on a race track. Absolutely unbelievable. I wouldn't be comfortable sharing a track with that driver, ever. |

Geez, by that rate, Paul Morris would be Senna compared to the drivers crashing here.

Mr Morris was one of the first to publicly offer his opinion on it

Yeah, I remember that series, it didn't take off and I almost LOL when I heard the marketing blurb. They suggested that tradies could buy a ute, race it on Sunday and use it for getting their tools to site Monday to Friday. Yeah, right! Who makes up this ****?

look at these flaggies at 1985 touring car street race in windy Wellington. Look at posts 1,5,33 &71 and comments in post 22. These guys were actually on the corner as you can see from post 71, so cars went in front of them and behind them !!! http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...et-Race-Photos |

CAMS Boss Chasing Suspension For Mr Fane!
These CAMS bods are trying a bit hard arent they? Wonder when this case might see the inside of a real courtroom? Mr van der Garde has freed up the Victorian Supreme Court, perhaps with this purpose in mind... |

Having been at Surfers Paradise and seen a Ute move the wall back the large part of a metre I'm inclined to go with the modern advice. |

A driver blinded by his bonnet across his windscreen decides to drive through one of the most dangerous corners in Motorsport resulting in damage to other cars. What possible reason could be given for not stopping off the racing line well before Turn 8? The straight leading to Turn 8 is one of the widest pieces of track in Australia with plenty of to park on the driver's right. |

I agree though, he should have been dragged over the coals for that, including paying for the other guys car. |

The CAMS boss actively chasing a different sentence for Mr Fane prejudices the appeal process doesnt it? |
