[iV8SC14R31R32] Castrol Edge GC 600, 24-26 Oct

[peckstar]

Scott Pye fastest after P1

Lots of 1 minute penalties for kerb hoping, Lowndes and Chas two key drivers caught up in this.

suspecting Jamie might cope a penalty in the next session for kerb hopping as he breached the maximum (4) on his last lap

[ford71]

lots of black flags being issued in Pracs.

Whats the real penalty at this point? Loss of fastest lap?

Loss of that lap each time it happens.
1 min in the sin bin if it happens 4 times (maybe in a session)

on race day, the 2nd jump is a penalty

[ford71]

Thanks peckstar.

[peckstar]

there we go session 3 (for co drivers) is just starting 5 cars were given a 1 minute penalty carried over from session 2. however the kerb jumps have re-started for the session

tim blanchard gets his 2nd penalty for kerb hopping, he will serve a two minute penalty

[Biggy G]

What's Fabian upset about?

[Reload]

The Larkham/Reynolds thing is getting a little worrying.

Is there any danger a race might start soon?

You do know you are not obligated to watch the all the crap before the race?

They spent 20 minutes talking about Bathurst while you could hear and see the Carrera Cup cars flying past behind then

Presumably they are blaming daylight saving for the late start?

8 mins to go

[GHOGH]

Are the Bottle-O mechanics getting weary of the car damage?

[naca]

Stupid move by frosty there.

[rich07]

Haha had to laugh at Rihana telling Frosty about the penalty. Well deserved. Good on Slade and D'Alberto . Slade looks stuffed.

You might have thought so.. Always a lot to do in that garage at various points of the weekend

The Bottle O car seems to be a rocketship , but never seems to get thru a whole weekend intact

Mr Slads did a very good job. Losing the coolsuit & the helmet fan & the drink bottle in a very closed off car would have boiled him!

Nice for Mr D'Alberto to (finally!) get his first main game podium..

[Reload]

Only 9 cars on the lead lap at the finish.

[skells22]

did someone forgot about the rule about start line shunts and go into pit lane while under safety car?

[Umai Naa]

Not overly convinced that Mr Winterbottom deserved a penalty for the so-called incident at the final corner. I'm not partial to either driver, but come on. It was hardly a bump and run.

Slade struggling for grip and Frosty kept the boot in causing Slade to lose momentum and Frosty therefore gets the drive out of the corner. I'm sure that Slade's lack of grip made it look worse than what it was, however it seemed like the right call.

why no penalty for Dumbrells jump at the restart. Dont think re-adressing is enough for that. Should at least be same as a jumped start

I'd be fine with your suggestion if they also clamped down properly on people cutting chicanes.

Cutting the course like that is just as bad as Dumbrell's jump start (even though all are generally mistakes), and penalities should be geared to suit.

I thought there could have been a penalty for Slade at the re-start for going too slow..........as they said on the commentary, Dumbrell probably thought the lead car had problems.

actually while you are right about chicane jumping, it cant be linked to the re-start rule,

however i do agree that there need s to be a penalty of some sort for cutting a chicane.

saw this quote from Jamie in a speedcafe article on the kerb rules

“By far that was the best, we didn’t have cars running through pitlane or anyone taking the **** so to speak. (Note **** is that word from the above picture, autocensor would not let me use it in a quote)
