Yep all of his other incidents haven't been notable enough to warrant any reasonable explanation as to his banning

He's not banned, he was refused a license upgrade.

I think Sandown was the tipping point.

He got a good start, but put himself where cars don't normally go, and tripped over someone. Then the carnage ensued.

Had he managed to get through the first few corners unscathed, he would've been a hero.

Were the incidents any worse than the likes of what Lowndes & Gardner got themselves into when they entered the category?

When Gardner made his debut in '93, the driving standards were pretty average.

While you're less likely to be turned around in a race these days, you're more likely to be pinged for lesser matters.

A conspiracy theorist might suggest that Chahda getting turned down has conveniently taken some heat off Rullo getting approved...

Do the likes of DTM or SuperGT have a "Super Licence" system? Has it been explained why the Virgin Australia Supercar Championship needs this. It is other than NZ just a national touring car title, it's not the F1 World Championship... you don't even need a Super Licence to compete in LMP1.

Yeah I have no idea why this is being implemented makes no sense too me. I believe it's only implemented as part of CAMS F4 agenda look at the amount of points the F4 title winner gets, 12 points but you get 5 points for winning the Kumho V8 Touring Cars, seems very illogical

Going on this logic by CAMs then, Jack Le Brocq better not get a drive next year if he keeps driving the way he did at Sandown. He has made a lot of errors too, yet he is allowed in. Doesn't seem overly fair, not saying Jack isn't talented, he just makes stupid decisions.

Jack has the runs on the board.

Has competed in the Enduro Cup the last couple of years, not to mention other national championships where he has seen success.

Yes I understand your point but Jack has proven pedigree in Australian Motorsport like race wins, podiums, poles. However at the moment Matt is yet to put any runs on the board

Putting Chahda aside for a moment, why should success have anything to do with getting a licence upgrade?

Surely the priority is driving safely?

Exactly, if you cant drive safely, and take people out. It doesn't matter if you are at the front or at the back, you need more practice, if it is a once off error and take someone out then that's ok because the best of the drivers do it.

It's confirmed subject to the Supercars commission. Perkins is also looking for wildcard entries via the Dragon/Image team.

Likely #5 didn't frosty's engineer just leave PRA if I'm correct? And it's now been confirmed that Jack LB will be doing two wildcard rounds with MW Motorsport with support from Nissan likely to be Winton and Ipswich due to costs. this move seems like
