Well, there you go, the Stewards don't always get it right.

Gee LP, that 10 K might go some of the way to fixing your trashed cars from last week-end.....

[James63]

Doesn't that mean he lost the appeal?

[Uncle Cranker]

James I just changed it a bit.
The Stewards findings were set aside.

[James63]

Ok so he won...and is now not guilty of supplying false information?

It's a good thing us fans easily understand the penalties system...

[manwell]

Well he's not really $10,000 richer.
It just means he doesnt have to pay a $10,000 fine.

[resisturban]

Mate, upheld means he lost....

[pete60]

Mate upheld means he won....

[Spunky]

I was confused when the email came to me, not knowing if he won or lost, now I am still as confused.

[pete60]

It's pretty simple...Perkins lost first up. He appealed the decision to CAMS. The appeal was upheld and the steward's findings were set aside. He wins in the end!

Larry deserves to keep the 10 grand, it will go to both go to car 24, 11 and the engines

[GTRMagic]

Since the $10k was withheld from the franchise licence income payments, its not like he is richer, more that what LP is entitled to has been remunerated to him...

[mixxer]

.........and the engines ..........

Another tidbit from the mount is that LP is not happy with a component supplier who supplied him with a batch of faulty pistons which very publically failed in the area around the gudgeon pins during recent rounds.

[GTRMagic]

Losing 3 of the 4 cars run by the Perkins equipe to engine issues at Bathurst, and having a couple of engines lunch at PWR at Sandown & Bathurst suggests there might be more issues than a crook batch
