Ugh, last thing I wanted today was a Redbull 1-2.

 

[IforceV8]

If it stays green to the end Frosty will probably end up 13-14th, what will that do to him in the points?

 

[05XR8]

I wish it would end right now so Pye can finish 3rd

200kms at this track is not enough. Need to race at Highlands Motorsport Park next round. Then, PI.

 

[NW48]

I wish it would end right now so Pye can finish 3rd

I'm torn in that regard. I want to see Lowndes get past Whincup, but I want the race to end now so Pye can get a 3rd.

 

[05XR8]

Whoops. Waterboy into Courtney.

 

[NW48]

If it stays green to the end Frosty will probably end up 13-14th, what will that do to him in the points?

Reynolds and Lowndes would be 224 and 225 points off Winterbottom, respectively.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Tandered.

 

[NW48]

Waters turns Courtney around and gives Winterbottom two free positions. What a 🤬

No contact there with Tander and Waters.

 

[05XR8]

That piece has to hold on.

No way. #2 should get a drive thru as well.

 

[CodeRedR51]

If it stays green to the end Frosty will probably end up 13-14th, what will that do to him in the points?

Up to 11th now. Hopefully that rear bumper stays put. It's flapping in the wind but I don't think it's going anywhere.

 

[NW48]

Race Control needs to look at Winterbottom's bumper. That thing is flailing around now.

Justice served. Waters gets a Drive Through. The kid is a liability.

 

[IforceV8]

HRT took the Pepsi challenge-and lost.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Waters turns Courtney around and gives Winterbottom two free positions. What a 🤬

No contact there with Tander and Waters.

I don't understand you can clearly see Tander go on the inside while Cam was overtaking Courtney honestly where was he supposed to go?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Waters turns Courtney around and gives Winterbottom two free positions. What a 🤬

Waters had nowhere to go. Tander was on the inside and forcing him deep while Courtney was turning in.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I love how someone says bull:censored: on national TV down there and nobody bats an eye.

 

[IforceV8]

Amazing how the onboard camera suddenly worked when it came time to give the 6 car a penalty but it somehow missed the 5 car getting dumped.

 

[NW48]

I don't understand

Courtney runs wide. Waters somehow manages to turn Courtney around whilst passing as Tander sneaks through cleanly on the inside.

Waters had nowhere to go. Tander was on the inside and forcing him deep while Courtney was turning in.

Waters did have somewhere to go, and that's to squeeze Tander. Not squeeze and turn Courtney around.

-
Edwards, what did you expect. You could give the FG-X to David Wall and he'd still manage to finish in the Top 10. Waters on the brink of the Top 10 isn't that big of a surprise.

I love how someone says bull:censored: on national TV down there and nobody bats an eye.

It's our culture really. You can't and shouldn't censor passion.

Also while I don't agree with Tim Edwards all that often I don't see how the incident with Winterbottom is investigated post race but Waters is instantly penalised despite both incidents being quite similar

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Wow. Tricky Dicky's looking really old.

Waters did have somewhere to go, and that's to squeeze Tander.

Which likely would have turned himself and/or Tander around.

Come on, it's pretty obvious that you don't like Waters because PRA elected to let go of Reynolds and appear to be setting him up as the driver of #55.

The Waters incident was well into the race and quite obvious whilst the Winterbottom incident was on the first lap and would take quote a bit to get to the bottom of, and you'd probably need to get driver opinions first.

 

[05XR8]

Good stuff for Pye. Just great for DJRTP.

 

[aarror]

Great to see Pye and DJR team Penske on the podium!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nice job Pye for the podium, glad to see that Caruso had some speed there at the end and got a strong 5th. I nominate Frosty for most cars passed today, guy was on a mission after that lap 1 incident.

 

[NW48]

Which likely would have turned himself and/or Tander around.

I don't think it would have. There would have been a possibility, but not as much as one when he decided to squeeze Courtney.

Come on, it's pretty obvious that you don't like Waters because PRA elected to let go of Reynolds and appear to be setting him up as the driver of #55.

So that would also make you're hate for Tander in V8's and Lewis Hamilton in F1 also invalid since it's quite apparent you dislike both of them?

And that isn't why I dislike Waters. His attitude, driving style amongst other things really rubs me the wrong way.

 

[Spacegoat]

Pleased for Pye, well deserved result for him and the team.

Edwards, what did you expect. You could give the FG-X to David Wall and he'd still manage to finish in the Top 10. Waters on the brink of the Top 10 isn't that big of a surprise.

Whoa, hang on. The FG-X is good but it's not that good!

 

[prisonermonkeys]

So that would also make you're hate for Tander [...] also invalid since it's quite apparent you dislike [him]?

Not at all. I dislike Tander because his driving is dirty. He's caused more spins than any other driver.

 

[05XR8]

 

[CodeRedR51]

His attitude, driving style amongst other things really rubs me the wrong way.

He's a young rookie, thrown into the mix before he's ready. I think the guy deserves some praise for running in the top 10 most of the day. When he grows up some and gets some more experience, he's likely to win a lot of races. (and he's already doing that in the Dunlop Series)

 

[NW48]

Not at all. I dislike Tander because his driving is dirty. He's caused more spins than any other driver.

I wouldn't say he's the dirtiest driver out there, maybe one of the dirtiest, but I think he's just one of the more aggressive ones.

 

[mustafur]

Tander was at the centre of the big accidents today.

Waters penalty was complete BS, especially when no one got a penalty from Winterbottoms hit, no wonder Tim Edwards was furious.
