It's one thing to support your team, but it's a bit unnecessary and immature to simply bag out other teams or drivers because you don't like the marque they've aligned themselves to.

Post isn't aimed at anyone in particular, but seeing as though the members on here should know better, it does get a little tiring especially after reading it day in, day out on social media, and the usual websites that have their comments switched on.

Some friendly banter is expected and good fun, however the same repetitious negative crap towards the "enemy" is tiresome. This forum has managed to avoid it with the exception of 1 or 2.

Roland hates losing, so there's no sand bagging going on here. They'll be back, sooner rather than later.

I think it was justified with regards to Lowndes, I don't think anybody thought he would get away with the laws on those tyres, I was waiting for him to start slipping back

bluesport · 17 May 2015, 08:03 (Ref:3538474)

How did the fastest lap time compare to last year, were the cars slower?

someone doesn't have Foxtel at home?

More than one driver I have spoken to does not...

billybanana · 17 May 2015, 21:44 (Ref:3538718)

He'll get a please explain from head office making comments like that.

Axeman444 · 17 May 2015, 22:39 (Ref:3538733)

or an opportunity to get a prospective advocate setup

HISTORY MADE ON HOMEGROUND

Quote:

The Pepsi Max Crew has become the first team in V8 Supercars history to claim every Championship Series and Dunlop Series win and pole position across an event as Frosty closed the weekend out with a win. - See more at: http://www.prodriveracing.com.au/new....BM5nrCMn.dpuf

Aside from Chaz's error, PRA cleaned up across the board.

(as per peckstars post)

Oh and Frosty took the c'ship lead.
Not bad for a bunch of numpties hey

RBR will have some serious "egg on face" if Frosty takes out the title.

ford71 · 18 May 2015, 01:27 (Ref:3538781)

For sure, but I'm not celebrating just yet.
The whole thing could spin on its head before the season ends.
Feels good to see a podium with no Holdens though. Hard to do when they make up the bulk of the field

chavez · 18 May 2015, 01:37 (Ref:3538786)

No surprise, but Sunday's race was very good.

And once again showed up the farce we see on Saturdays.

They were strong where it counted. And that's what matters. They also set a neat new record as a team, too.

EL GT · 18 May 2015, 10:01 (Ref:3538876)

Matters arising from Race 12:
The Stewards imposed a fine of $350 on Garth Tander, Car #2, for exceeding the Pit Lane speed
limit (44kph).

Can anyone tell me why this was not a drive thru pitlane penalty

Stewards Summary Update FINAL: Sunday, 17 May 2015 at 1058hrs.

just adding the source to you quote

its an interesting question, can only assume there is some form of error in the wording here or maybe post race or pre race

**GTRMagic** · 18 May 2015, 10:59 (Ref:3538906)

On the way to Parc Ferme?

v8man · 18 May 2015, 11:37 (Ref:3538911)

They way to fix up the Sat races and to make sure think more about the tyres they use in the 2nd race is to have one qualifying per round and you start where you finish the previous race and the qualifying needs to be more than 10 mins, you watch the Dunlop series and they split the qualifying into 2 groups and they have 15 mins each and the you look at the main game and they only have a 10 min session with every one in, same amount of cars and completely different rules

DV_08 · 18 May 2015, 11:47 (Ref:3538917)

It is a bit ridiculous to see teams throwing races because of poor qualifying and not wanting too waste tyres

Mixer · 18 May 2015, 12:15 (Ref:3538925)

You know, I agree re the start positions for the race, but this is how it used to be and it was changed to give some more on-track action on Saturday, and also give a guy who DNF'd a chance to have a better race.

But these Saturday races are craaaaap.

peckstar · 18 May 2015, 21:59 (Ref:3539123)

appears to have been a bit of post race agro from Reynolds towards GT.

Not happy about being driven off the track by GT.

Ospi · 19 May 2015, 04:25 (Ref:3539193)

Sounds like the hrt boys really had a shocker in all respects.

Had a great Satdy at Winton - did 2 laps in the Gold Navarra driven by Rick Kelly, he is a good bloke actually. Then had a tour of the Nissan garages before the grid walk preceding race 1.
Was lucky enough to get a foto with Rick Kelly & my 2 favourite drivers in Jason Bright & Marcos Ambrose plus this little hotty...
