Too busy running to the trackside champagne room to get stuff done? |

On top of that, drivers and teams would have commitments to go and be with sponsors for the F1 race etc. |

For the same reasons - drivers and teams have flights to get, as do the people who pack up the big white rigs, as for that matter do the stewards, senior event officials etc.
When there are a number of things to consider, time runs out really easily. Unnecessarily harsh to be critical of hearings on incidents being held over to the next race meeting. |

Enjoyed the races on the weekend. Good mix of winners.
I see there is discussion regarding if it should continue as a points race. Too me it didnt seem any different than when it wasn't a points race |

Great to see Scotty Pye take his first win and what I way to get it done.
Super impressed with his effort and those conditions. Great also to see Reynolds with his elbows out to take the lead and then another win for him and his team. With some mixed up grids to the norm will we see some modification to qualifying? - it certainly produced some interesting results and battles |

How many tyres did the cars get for the weekend?
Did Winterbottom and Waters put green tyres on when they pitted in Sunday's race? |

I don’t consider the complaint harsh. Unavailability of people in a series sponsored by an airline (so flights should be able to be easily changed) doesn’t sit well. |

Judicial decisions need to be made correctly, with evidence and testimony from all parties concerned to be fair and reasonable. Whilst there is always a desire to get that done "on the day" it isn't always possible due to a variety of issues, some of which I've mentioned. To accuse stewards of not completing hearings due to an alleged need to head off to the "Champagne room" is a cheap shot and unbecoming of you GTR.Dress it up any way you like to try and justify your original post but it just doesn't wash. |

If we're making decisions on running the sport (or any sport outside of the horse/dog racing codes) based off betting agencies, then we have truly lost our way.

But unlike most sports Supercars tend to change the results by punishing the offender retrospectively in the the event the incident occurred rather than what most sports do - punish the offender for the next event.
Steve Smith is banned for the next test. If he was in Supercars his runs scored in the third test would be deducted from the Australia team score and he would be free to play in the next test. |

However in the case of smith he was deliberately cheating, a rare occurrence in any sport and thus it is not wise to compare Cant think of a time where the winner has been changed post race, Im sure it has happened but very rare Ie why they dealt with Scott so quickly at newcastle |
