Te run down the hill from 2 and the run down to the hairpin were superb viewing Better still in the garage. |

I did enjoy the hairpin, especially when the people in front left on saturday and we could move to the fence. We had a big screen as well |

Was I the only one to notice Lowdnes' bump on McLaughlin's left rear qtr-panel on the lead up to turn two, a couple of seconds before the 'title deciding' incident?
It makes you wonder if Lowndes would have passed McLaughlins C pillar by the incident scene, if he hadn't have made that little bump.... |

The water was fine, finding an entrance gate was the complicated part. Sunday better than Saturday but no logical reason exists to not label Gate 1 as Gate 1..

Full rundown of how the penalties against 17 were done from the DSA: Bairdo speaks
All makes sense to me I have to say. |

The penalties were always ther in my opinion
Im a bit concerned by his justification of the difference between J Dub at NZ and Scott at Newcastle though. If you run someone out of track then surely there has to be a penalty |

Maybe environmental considerations are taken into account, ie: grass verge v concrete wall?

There were maps up around the place and surely anyone who came in via one entrance would at least know how to get back to that place for exit? I'm struggling to understand the problem GTR? |

They did open the track up for people to walk up Wharf Street, think King Street too. I'd suggest too many gates and too much risk management to open up the whole track. |

It was sorted primarily only because they found a police officer and asked him.. There were plenty of them around at the weekend. Easier when you are there, can pin the location, and use the technology to bring you back there the next day... |

All event volunteers and race officials have a little handbook with circuit layout maps included - I am suprised that security didn't have the same booklet or unfortunately chose not to check the map. |

Only just got around to watching the Sunday race, really no hurry once you know the outcome, great race. There's one thing that I don't seem to see though.
If all that went down was just and fair and all the officialdom decisions were correct, what happened with the Blanchard incident. After clearly punting Blanchard into a half spin and the tyres to make the pass, Lowndes shouldn't have even been a contender at the end. Did I miss something? Wouldn't it be a 15sec time panalty at least. They even replayed it but it didn't get a mention at all. |
