Agreed !!!!!!

Hope that is what I heard as it had me in stitches.

Did Crompton give the lady taking the photo with Chaz a bit of a push off?

She is constantly the slowest Nissan, so I think that's a bit much!! Me thinks, she is only on the grid because she has a sponsor to bring..

Quite possibly, but I'd argue she's in the "worst" Altima and the Altima is the "worst" model competing in the series - do you see where I'm going with this?

Mixer · 4 May 2019, 07:37 (Ref:3901659)

Yeah, last to 12th in the Kelly Krate has to be a good job.

7 seasons of racing... that’s a lot of work for a chassis...

S griffin · 4 May 2019, 08:12 (Ref:3901670)

Well she's giving it a good go. Although she hasn't quite got to where she perhaps expected to get to

Umai Naa · 4 May 2019, 09:13 (Ref:3901683)

Allegedly the car in the Kelly stable with the strongest backing, yet is several generations behind the car runs a livery in kind to a minor team sponsor

Mixer · 4 May 2019, 10:02 (Ref:3901687)

Well some of that pot comes from Supercars itself.

How much influence do the organisers have over keeping it competitive though?

johnh875 · 5 May 2019, 00:54 (Ref:3901905)

I wonder why some rules get rigidly enforced (recent minor pit infringements) but SVG got no penalty for the restart overlap that nearly put Kelly into the wall, the very thing the rule is intended to prevent?

gtcapri · 5 May 2019, 01:43 (Ref:3901911)

From Supercars:

https://www.supercars.com/news/champ...-svg-incident/

Asked of the incident, Kelly said: “From what we can see from the tyre marks, he had an overlap. And the rule is if you have an overlap, you don't have to get off the throttle.

Some would suggest that Mr Kelly had it coming when he tried to escort Mr van Gisbergen onto the grass.

Because there is no such rule in place. Overlaps are allowed from the last corner but no passing until the control line.

Don't you think her sponsor is doing the whole gender-equality virtue signalling thing?

Because SVG had an overlap and Kelly blatantly tried to block him. So who's at fault for the contact then?

S griffin · 5 May 2019, 10:14 (Ref:3901938)

If someone has an overlap, you can't close the door. Therefore it's the person's fault who tries to close him

Forda · 5 May 2019, 10:26 (Ref:3901943)

Congrats to Scotty Mac and DJRTP on yet another magnificent win; despite all the political adversary, and the Mustangs being extensively nobbled.

DJRTP are clearly now a force to be reckoned with, and their success is on par with the DJR powerhouse of 30 years prior.

And as gtcapri mentioned earlier by link, Kelly himself put his hand up as being totally responsible..... Confirming Gtcapri and mixers thoughts:

Quote:

I started to cover myself, unfortunately Shane had more momentum and a little bit of overlap and the rule is you can run him to the edge and not further and he obviously had more overlap than I was expecting and turned me on to the grass.

“I put my hand up for that one and say it was my fault because he had overlap, that’s why I ended up on the grass. Just really bummed for the team that did a great job.”

That’s refreshing to see, a driver admitting to his mistake

Im getting the vibe your very one eyed and have the best violin in the business

johnh875 · 5 May 2019, 11:51 (Ref:3901974)

Ok then, I thought Id heard the commentary team talking about it, has the rule changed?

He's just holden on to the moment.

S griffin · 5 May 2019, 12:20 (Ref:3901984)

That’s one way of putting, I’m sure they all are
