JCO was 3rd and 4th at Adelaide last years, dont read too much into a track where the team and the driver have traditionally done well

Whincup Car Repair.. a time lapse

And THAT is why they win... discipline, calm, skill...

tux · 3 Mar 2018, 01:17 (Ref:3805334)

Did you know Whincup had an accident?

Everyone seems to have forgotten Cam Waters car was destroyed too.

Micklegend · 3 Mar 2018, 01:26 (Ref:3805335)

Not even a race run and I'm already over 'maximum attack'....now we have larko drawing with his finger on a smart screen....going to be a loooooong season.

I like it too, it reminds me of Bentley doing a similar thing with their works Continental GT3

Damn Giz, destroyed them all. All in all seems status quo from last season at this stage.

which is SVG goes well at Adelaide?

Ospi · 3 Mar 2018, 02:02 (Ref:3805340)

Loving the Penske/T8 banter has begun already.

From the overhead I can't see how there can be an advantage gained from what he did, was so far down the straight. Guess it'll come down to how clear the they were in the briefing about how far after the corner the yellow line counts.

peckstar · 3 Mar 2018, 02:02 (Ref:3805341)

New rule, seems a weird one, why would they even have a yellow line there, what does it achieve?

The wall in relation to the line there, and vice versa, doesn't make a whole lot of sense anyway.

Why is the wall straighter than the line?

Exactly. Why bother even having a line around the back of the track? The concrete wall is the pretty obvious "track limit" at that section of the track.

What a way to start the season, with Race Control umming and arring over pole at the very first race. Presentation has been done, check handed over, yet result still in question? How professional does this look?? About as professional as the under 9's 3rd grade ( choose your sport ) on a Saturday morning. Going to be a long season.............

He did, but Mr Waters isn’t the reigning 7 time series champion either...

Tickford also chose not to fix Mr Randle’s car...

peckstar · 3 Mar 2018, 02:17 (Ref:3805348)

wow, could determine scott and craig in half a lap, but cant determine if a yellow line determines the track edge

has to be a badly written rule

Why has this never been an issue in 20 years

Compromised · 3 Mar 2018, 02:19 (Ref:3805350)

Why was the championship decided in 30 seconds yet this is dragging on for how long?

They just released a complete revision of the rules, so shouldn't be any problems with what is written.

Ospi · 3 Mar 2018, 02:31 (Ref:3805353)

I doubt it's something in the standard regs, it's likely part of supplementary regs they hand out at driver/manager briefings which are usually vague at best to begin with. So it could be one of those annoying interpretation decisions.

and yet there is?

But the new rules mean there shouldnt be

peckstar · 3 Mar 2018, 02:38 (Ref:3805356)

Mike jacobson quoting cams rule 7,4. no doubt that svg left the track and is guilty.

Real question is why not put the yellow line along the wall

Compromised · 3 Mar 2018, 02:39 (Ref:3805357)

How long until calls for the ZB to be re homolagated?

Penske seem...willing...

Even more real question, why bother with the kerb if it doesn't mean anything

Muznik · 3 Mar 2018, 02:51 (Ref:3805362)

Funny thing is I rewound & watched Scotty's lap & he was equally as far over the yellow line the corner before (6)... so is it only this corner that the yellow line applies??

Ospi · 3 Mar 2018, 02:53 (Ref:3805364)

So one of those really fun "it counts here and here but not there, we don't know about there but as long as you're 34 degrees to the line should be fine" situations.

There seemed to be an inference in the SVG sound grab with Riana, that the matter was discussed earlier (drivers briefing?), so there might be arguments to support him having used that piece of track...

was DJRTP the origin point of the enquiry? They seem to be copping a fair degree of online griefe on the basis of Ryan Story's comments to camera...
