To be fair, Coulthard was still having his crash when Percat hit him.

Percat didn't hit Coulthard, Coulthard bounced back off the tyres into Percat. No excuse for Blanchard, possibly Courtney too as he was pretty late on the scene.

DJRTP were very lucky to get across the line, played a high-risk fuel game.

Where in the rules does it say you have to put 140 litres in in 2 stops??
Surely Red Bull put in their 140 and then crunched the calculators, thought they wouldn't get home and decided to make a quick 3rd stop. Everyone is calling the 2nd stop a miscue. I doubt it. Surely the 3rd one was the stroke of genius... Last edited by Average Punter; 24 Nov 2018 at 08:38. |

Any penalty for Blanchard?
Or will another instance of total disregard for yellow flags go unpunished? |

So 140 litres leaves the fuel rig but doesn't all get in the car's tank??
That makes sense. If that's the case, the Penske lads need a new calculator. And Mr Story has a large amount of egg on his face... |

So... is #12 fixable?
There was a bit of noise circuit side suggesting the side intrusion bars were bent. I thought stuff like that shouldn’t/couldn’t be fixed locally? |

SVG under investigation for dropping the car while fuel hose was still attached:
https://www.supercars.com/news/champ...investigation/ The rule seems a little bit vague and this is borderline at best in my view. Dutto seems pretty bullish about it though. If there's no penalty the conspiracy theorists will lose their ****. |

There were a number of Xtrac transmission people on the grid today. Wonder whose car(s) their gear is in this weekend?

It's on now.
Breach established for SVG and has been referred to the stewards, who will convene tomorrow morning. https://www.supercars.com/news/champ...?sf202944368=1 They defintely didn't need to be in such a hurry, pit lane was closed! |

Nope that isn't what the rule says. It says you can't refuel while the car is on its wheels.
It is actually a bit grey. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

Grey area?
Supercars regs? ......... Also this happened halfway through the race - why post race investigation? Last edited by Compromised; 24 Nov 2018 at 19:04. |

Did Supercars see it for themselves or did a motivated dobber choose to interpret the regulations for them?

Exactly, getting tired of this, giving post race penalties for something that happened well before the end doesn't give the driver any chance to recover from the penalty. It's either a rule breach or it isn't, if they can't decide within 3 laps, then the rule isn't clear enough and the investigation should be dropped and the rule sorted out before the next meeting.
