Your blind hatred of him makes you look stupid. Maybe watch the race instead of sitting on the internet waiting to write some trash about someone you dislike.

lol that's because TSR is obsessed with Murp, Rick etc..

complaining about them and the Supercar series is a hobby of his

Take ur kiwi eyes out of it, Potato Head run up Bargs back in turn one, you can see the damage on the front of #51 if you open your eyes

And NO promax there is no way in breathing oxygen that I am obsessed with those two try hards

[peckstar]

looks like a fujitsu car to me

Murf hit a a jack daniels car, but its because the cars have banked up due to the first incident

[kiwi20]

Im not a Murph fan.
I support SVG and SBR but dont go bagging everyone else. Every driver in V8s do a better job than I could do.

True Nick, but that was the decision made by all parties, VESA/TEGA.
TEGA are the ones who wanted this competition, TEGA wet out to get TC to run it, TEGA came up with how it would run etc.

Agree with your observation. Maybe the CAR f Tommorow wil reduce costs , so we can have more events, doubt it thow.

2010 BRC IMPCO V8 SUPERCAR GP CHALLENGE
Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit, Melbourne, Victoria.
25th to 28th March 2010

STEWARDS SUMMARY

UPDATE 4: 1730hrs Saturday 27th March 2010

Further matters arising from Top Ten Shoot Out:

Following an investigation and an admission by Jamie Whincup Car #1, that he drove at an excessive speed while Marshalls were on the track at the conclusion of the session, the Stewards imposed a $3,000 Fine, totally suspended until 31/12/10.

The Stewards also accepted Jamie Whincup’s offer to address the Official’s briefing at 0915hrs on Sunday 28th March and deliver an apology.

Consensus of the marshals who were the ones he nearly hit was it was a bit of a hollow apology.

I heard his speal but at the time wasn't aware of the background behind it.

The problem is (and the Yellow Flag thread is discussing the same thing) there is a different perspective between those in the steel cage with wheels and those protected by a pair of overalls when it comes to the approach speed into an incident scene, understand our side of the fence better.

I'd rather see all drivers have to do a club level event as a trackside marshal every 2-3 years to obtain their licence renewal so that, especially those at the top end of the sport, understand our side of the fence better.

what an absolute pathetic display by Ch10, did you see the names on the running sheet towards the end of V8's R3? someone forgot to remove the GT driver's names from the computer, i think i saw Ash Samadi racing and a few others i actually didn't recognise. Also what was with the Formula Ford commentary? it sounded like Will Davo was commenting(?) and was doing a half decent job, but whoever was with him (Diffey?) was just calling everyone "he" or "him", didn't bother to look up the names of the drivers prior to the race. Murray Walker may have stuffed up half of his calls in the past, but at least the driver he mentioned was in the same race

[Holly Wood]

Didn't Steven Richards and Daryl Beattie do the Formula Ford commentary?

I think the bit where he said "I still don't think that I was going that fast" showed it for the early morning time waster that the exercise was.

not sure hence the question marks, but the Ch10 commentator whomever it was, was the "he/him" commentator, and the "industry specialist" (Davo/BPB) was the one that actually knew half of their names. wouldn't have taken much to have a sheet in front of him with the names he could of at least glanced at

I don't think it was a hollow apology. Definitely not heart-fealt by any stretch but nothing wrong with it. Jamie's not normally the driver with marshals on track and no racing happening, so it's understandable he didn't have a clue that his speed was too fast. Should he have known better anyway? Absolutely. Did he do the right thing by apologising? Yes.

I do agree that the drivers should get out on the corners to work, including the V8 ones. But, first thing's first, CAMS need to have a way of ensuring the driver actually does go out there as I know of a large %age that have been signed off without ever going near a flag point.

(Unrelated to the topic) P.S. The answer is 3 years.

AND.. what about something like.. pit lane limiter to be used under double yellows 50m prior and post the incident.

The drivers only need to slow down, there's no need to complicate the sport more than it already is with speed limiters and the like.
