The powers that be gridding the 3rd race of the event on the back of the reverse grid race, which ran on a grid set by the cancelled race is plain stupid.
Being surprised that a driver and team who brings his own sponsor, manufacturer support and car ownership to the grid, and was the one most disadvantaged by the race cancellation… and pulls in on the formation lap with a healthy car… should not have been a shock!
R3 was nuts.. only because just about every car in the field was out of position, and crashing into everyone else seemed to be not only approved, but actively encouraged.
The series was definitely found wanting in leadership today.
Tony D’Alberto stood his ground, said principles trump anything else and stood down.
Stories go he may not be at the next round, in disgust.
Nice going GRM.

Aren’t those decisions made by Motorsport Australia? They are the ones who would have ruled Race 1 didn’t happen, the ones who chose what the grid lineup was for race 3, and the ones who ruled on driving standards.
Do TCR Australia management have any say in any of these decisions?
Totally understandable what Tony did, but if he does pull out of the class, it’s TCR that hurts due to an MA decision
