Don't think Whincup was amused.

You'd swear he sucking on a lemon during that interview.

Cracker!

Brilliant drive by Scotty Mac, great last corner and loved the interview!

"I plucked first, gave it some jandel and f@#k yeah!"


Good to see Volvo embracing GRM's wacky side with the ABBA grid impersonation.
I reckon its great, makes it real interesting. I must admit as much as a hardcore Holden man I am I was pretty rapt for Volvo and was cheering on Scotty in the last few laps :cheers:

Bet thats not the last time we hear that line, maybe Volvo should pick it up

Life long Holden tragic but have always been a Gary Rogers fan and what he acheives with young drivers, hats off to them, no pun intended

Also a long time, one eyed HOLDEN fan.   But really just a Motorsport NUT.  I was at the track today. And it was AMAZING. The atmosphere in the last few laps and after the race was something I have not seen in years. 
Well done to GRM and young Scott. The sport needs more passion like his. Chaz has very similar attitude. "I just want to drive fast"

On a different note though. The announcement today re the new tv / media deal for the v8s in 2015. Is a dark day for our sport. 
Unless you are willing to line the pockets of the owners of foxtel you will see very little v8 action next year. 
Pretty upset by this decision by the v8sc owners and management.  Choosing short term $$$ over all the long term supporters and fans.
Oh well guess if I give up Motorsport (I don't know if I can). I would have more time and $$$ for my other love.  Camping.

Wow! Race two. That was one of the best race finishes i have seen for a long time. I've never seen the whole crowd up on their feet and cheering like that before. Good to see Lowndes have a win as i still rate him highly and would like to see him beat his team mate Wincup.
Jamie did'nt seem too pleased with the result when being interviewed after the race. Today's race three could be very interesting as all the brands appear to be more competitive this year.

Wasnt it his boss that spent so much time upside down at Clipsal that his sponsors (OzEmail I think) put their logo on the bottom of his car and "this way up" on the rear bumper

Winning one race out of three does not make you the winners of the weekend. Lowndes is in front in the championship, so he was the winner out of the weekend. Typical first weekend of the year the driving standards were terrible. But happy to see Volvo on the pace from the start.

Talk about rule interpretation when dishing out drive thru's!  From one of the officials "because Kelly any Van Gisbergen gapped Whincup cup at the restart we assumed they accelerated too early"  or words to that affect.  So penalties are now based on assumptions?
As for Whincup's drive thru, talk about nit picking on technicalities...

That was an interesting one Al. I have watched a replay of that re start several times and after hearing the official's comments of it being a visual observation of the gap back to the red bull car to assume the speed difference it brings up another possible scenario.
If the red bull car was holding back below the 60km/h speed limit and holding the field behind him then this would account for the apparent gap when the front two cars accelerated and they were definately in the correct zone when they did. This could have been unintentional or deliberate to create a penalty. Food for thought..

They did also say they were using radar and other indicators, not just a visual observation and making an assumption on that.  Remember they have a lot of data at their disposal.  the interview on the run was good but very brief and view impromptu.  A bit more then visual observation was used.

That is a little unclear on the replay as when questioned the official said they do use radar but when asked further if they did use radar in this instance, he avoided answering this and went on to say that they had made a visual observation. He was referring to the gap between kellys car and wincups car. This could be caused by the first two cars exceeding the 60km/h limit or by the third car holding below the 60km/h limit. Maybe we will never know but it certainly is a bit nit picky in the big scheme of things, as was the penalty on wincup for the observer touching his car in the pits as it obviously cost him the race win, for something so trivial. I hope the rest of the season is not going to be like the NRL was last year with officials holding back the flow of the game with whistle blowing and penalties every ten minutes.
