Great pit maneuver there by GT.
Recon he's got a career in the police force now his racing one's done. |

Tander's weaving possibly left Coulthard confused as to where he was so can't blame him for holding the racing line. Very poor move by Garth, looks like a lot of desperation to impress for next year.

Hi Garth here. How many laps did FC hold GT up for? the TV was showing FC's car sliding round everywhere a number of laps earlier. His own team said GT was faster. We see it time and time again and it never ends well. FC does have a bit of a rep for it. As did Steven Richards near the end of his fulltime drive. spends more time driving in their mirrors. Night Fabian.

Its part of racing, different cars have different strengths in different part of the track or even in phases of the race. And you can hold your line, If Gt was faster he should have been able to make a pass without the little bumps in the corner |

Two guys fighting it out with cars that are putting out close lap times, but are fast at different parts of the track is racing. A guy with no tyres left and slow holding up faster cars is not the kind of racing I want to watch. Why do many driver move out of the way of faster cars and some don't . You hear drivers say in interviews that so and so was much faster than I was so I let him go??? and others will fight to the death. Then when it all turns to **** it's never their fault. |

DJRTP suggesting there is hope for the No 12 being on the grid tomorrow.
Will be an impressive effort if achieved, lucky its the home track and testament to the modern chassis Last edited by peckstar; 22 Oct 2016 at 11:55. |

I understand the car you enter must be the car you drive but when does it become "Grandpas Axe"? How much of "The Car you entered" has to be on the one on the grid for it to be legal? Cant be much of todays #12 going to be left in it anyway!!!

Fairly entertaining race, incredibly average move by GT there at the end.
Watching the cars fly around this track will never, ever get old. |

Given that GT is one of those who will fight to the death with no tyres over second last place, is the first to complain that he was "offed" and has form for professional fouls, the meeting of pot and kettle must be an interesting one. Retirement beckons. |

Full respect to those who did an all-nighter on #12.

Big 5 or 6 car crash in the utes with a lot of damage and the spectators are cheering as they continued to run into each other.

I reckon today's race has to one of the most "carnage-free" races I've seen on the Coast.
Great to see the GRM guys up there again and some full-on driving through the field. Special mention to Scotty Mac's pass on Frosty - heart in mouth stuff and I don't know how but he got it done. Tim Edward's reaction was the usual negative whine but you kinda expect that. |

Not sure you can call that a pass. Fortunately Frosty was awake or it would have been a penalty for Scott (maybe both of them out of the race) In my mind that was the perfect example of what a redress is for |

Scotty went pretty hard and really gave Frosty no choice but once done, in Frosty or his team's situation, you've got to shrug and get on with it. |

Winterbottom did the smart thing and chose not to close the door on him.
If only Mr McLaughlan did that a few weeks ago... |
