Rookie error.... literally.

But if they're consistent, you can't turn a bloke.

 

[Magma]

these last couple of laps is going to be very sketchy

Thought Fullwood chucked wets on ???

If he waited 2 laps......

Waters' Green Eyed Monster already has more victories in 3 days than Lowndes's original did in 2 years

That was the only good looking AU Falcon

Good weekend of racing.

I didn't really agree with the Waters incident on the Saturday night. It made for an epic finish though!

If thats how they play it from now on im all for it, I mean Feeney punted Murray (understandable IMO) and copped nothing for it.

So maybe it is the new normal

Good to see Waters up for the fight this season and not afraid to rub panels either. He is going to need that aggression to have a chance at the title.

Yeah valid point, as long as it's consistent, that's the main thing.

Not only did Feeney not cop anything for it, but the race stewards decided it was Murray's fault and gave him a 15 second penalty for it. Presumably it was because he was being lapped and shown blue flags, and failed to get out of the way, which created the incident.

It really is his fault essentially. But it's not a great look either haha.

Cooper struggled a bit more than I thought he might

I wasn’t sure if it was for position or not, if being lapped and blue flags out it’s on Murray for sure.

Apparently it was for position, so he wouldn't have been shown blue flags. He hadn't done his 2nd pit stop, so was effectively 3/4 of a lap down on the leaders - even though he was on the same stretch of bitumen.

That’s what I thought, he hadn’t pitted so was for position. In that case I’m surprised the penalty wasn’t the other way. V8 sleuth does a pod with Graig Baird after each round, will see what he says.

It's discussed in this article, which lays all of the blame on Murray:

Basically they're saying that Murray drove Feeney off the road, and came off 2nd best after the subsequent contact.

If they didnt think Feeney hit him as a square up theyre kidding themselves

Presumably the penalty was awarded after looking at the steering traces (amongst other data) from both cars.

He might have been far enough up.... might have.

Feeney does have form though

Have lost a fair bit of interest in supercars, but watched some of NASCAR at COTA this morning and it might be just me but they seem so unprofessional compared to supercars.
The driving position looks awkward as hell, multiple wheel nuts, the timing totem pole is updated by a carrier pigeon, the cars seem to be off the track half the time cutting corners (all four wheels over the ripple strips) the cars look more “plasticy”

Its cant be too sophisticated or most people who follow the sport wont understand it.

I also cant get over the driving position, I tried driving like that on my sim in a 2 hr race and my elbows were crying out in pain. Its a very backwards series but the fans over there love it because its Destruction Derby with a bit of UFC thrown in.

Multiple wheel nuts?

The timing pole is the dumb international feed, only updates every lap which is useless. I watch the US feed and it updates every few seconds.

Might have been confused with ARCA series that I watched some of at Daytona, it appears they’ve gone to a single central nut now.
