So how is it offensive for Davey to say it once in a press conference with 10 people in the room?
But not offensive for the clowns at News Limited to reprint his exact words every day since Thursday?????? |

BTW there was a bloke with a pantech in Harris Park printing up custom number plates for the man cave/lawnmower/pool room.
No prizes for guessing what the most common request was................. |

Not surprising to see GT's comments considering his wife is a driver.
Nothing more pathetic than having grown men jump on the PC feminist bandwagon. |

Have we heard anything about what the girls thought of the comment? I have to watch the race with whatever footage I can scrounge off the uploading sites (and with whatever space my HDD has left), so I don't get all the pre-race and post-race interviews and that sorta stuff so if there were any comments from them I didn't hear/see them.

Apparently not offended, but not amused either.

I would think the V8 Girls also had to be PC about it and then publicly officially accept the public official apology
Laughing at Garths comments. Well done for rolling out the obvious, if he had a proper look into it, all of the cash both of these crowdfunding deals generated will end up at the drivers' nominated charities anyway. I doubt I missed more than 1/2hour of the Fox telecast from Thursday morning til Sunday evening and the first I heard of Dave's comment was on Day 3, Saturday sometime. However I saw headlines on non-motorsport websites, a morning show discussion making it as controversial as they could and typical social media rubbish first thing Thursday morning. Too many wowsers too eager to run with a "story" that can generate some huffing and puffing and carry on about morals and what has the world come to. Why not report on the motorsport part? I'm glad I started that fund for Frosty. OK, its far from being successful moneywise but I learnt a few things about online media and the type of people that use it (mainly to abuse or attack it seems), I have had contact from Frosty about the support, and best of all it seemed to upset Tander If anything, Dave's fine that was an attempt at saving face and making an example has made the story bigger and spread it across to ears that would never have been the wiser. Well done. |

Adcafe still have the audio of DR on their site, but he probably should have got another fine for the other remark on Triple M radio
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ren...-1227567958478 Harvey Norman CEO Katie Page wasn't impressed and backed the V8SC fine. Can you imagine what Harvey Norman thought, they really backed the project big time and then have a teammate **** all over it. The fine doesn't even come close to the value of the damage done. Obviously someone had a chat with DR to take it on the chin: Quote:
Hopefully he shuts up and that's the end of this sordid affair. Last edited by TWRv12; 13 Oct 2015 at 22:29. |

If V8SC are so PC why do they have a gallery of grid girls on their official website?

I think he probably single handedly tripled the amount of people that knew the girls were racing ! |

David Reynolds' Bathurst Comments
In David Reynolds defence I'm under the impression that he wants to pay the fine himself, the Kickstarter/Gofundme etc to pay for the fine was started by a friend/fan, it wasn't DRs initiative.
Mind you being online on several chat rooms during the race and watching Bathurst at home with some friends, DRs nickname for the Supergirls was used by both male and female a lot during the race, I got the feeling it was a term of endearment moreso as most people I spoke to wanted the girls to do well, interestingly most people were focussed more on De Silvestro then Gracie, Gracie being written off by most people I spoke to. |

He has allegedly spoken to the initiator and asked for it to be removed, and he will be paying for the fine in full himself

There's also a chance that the girls themselves came up with the nickname. Last edited by Matt; 14 Oct 2015 at 15:37. |

My personal thoughts on it... It was stupid of him to say in a situation where the press could grab it, he should really have known better. Slap him on the wrist for being dumb enough to say it when/where he did, but don't make him out to be some sort of misogynistic ******* that doesn't welcome women in racing. From the sounds of it, he worked with them in the lead up. If he was just treating them like "some of the guys" and poking fun at them the same way he would poke fun at any of the other guys in the team and didn't mean it in a malicious way, then I don't see any reason to make a big deal about it. |

Looks like Davey can breath easy, now that Chris Gayle has offended the fair maidens of Australia with his comments at the big bash match.
