Neverbloom Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I've been to Olympic Park race a couple of times and it's a top event. I always get the trackside ticket where you can walk around the whole track. Get to turn 1 about 30 minutes before the race start to get an okay spot and watch about 25 5 litre V8 engine cars fly straight towards you is something special. Wear a hat and lot of sunscreen, take heaps of water, not much shade and it can be a killer of a day if it's hot. Around where the P1 parking is a top spot if it's hot because that's where there's shade. Also on the Friday be prepared for lots of school groups on excursion, they're harmless but just freaken school kids everywhere lol thank you for the advice and i been to school, school kids are not harmless Nnnnnathan12 and ThatzIt 2 Link to comment

Nnnnnathan12 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 What a finish. 15 second penalty for what whincup did is pretty ridiculous IMO. JackDoff 1 Link to comment
JackDoff Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 What a finish. 15 second penalty for what whincup did is pretty ridiculous IMO. Shouldn't the car that goes off have to "give way" when re entering ? Link to comment

Shouldn't the car that goes off have to "give way" when re entering ? They should have to give way, But Whincup was simply trying to redress the position. Skaife was spot on in the commentary, the redress rules are dumb, when you have a car going slower to allow a car off the track to come in front of them, it's going to cause problems. Link to comment

JackDoff Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 So what happens with Holden now that production has stopped? What models will race instead of Commodores? I think Ford will be using the Mustangs? Link to comment
Nnnnnathan12 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 His penalty should've been to readress the position, not his fault that Tander decided to try and squeeze through them. At the end of the day, all 3 drivers played their part in the incident So what happens with Holden now that production has stopped? What models will race instead of Commodores? I think Ford will be using the Mustangs? I think their going to redesign the commodore to a front wheel drive 4 cylinder or something like that. A 6 cylinder turbo that's rear wheel drive would be better JackDoff 1 Link to comment

wswanderersfc Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 His penalty should've been to readress the position, not his fault that Tander decided to try and squeeze through them. At the end of the day, all 3 drivers played their part in the incident tander only got clipped because he had to try and dodge whincup who jumped on the breaks to redress, he knew tander was behind him and tander does not have to slow down, he had alright to try and over take whincup, both whincup and mclaughlin were at fault tander was an innocent bystander, mclaughlin went and appoligise to HRT team stragiht away and whincup did not he deserved the penalty and more. IMO whincup- thought the move was on it wasnt and force scott off the road, then slams on the breaks to try and redress, but tander being right up his ass he should have either moved off the racing line or waited to redress Tander- incoccent, tried to go around whincup when he hit the breaks and then got clipped by scott scott-taken of the track by whincup then angrly tried to rejoin, should have given way to tander but even then he only clipped tander because tander was forced to try and over take whincup when he hit the breaks. what you learn from this and bathurst every year for the last several years is whincup is a complete piece of ****, interview him and all he does is defend his decision blame someone esle and then fight the decision after the race, scott first thing he does is goes and apologize to tander and then when interviewed admitted he was completly at fault for hsi part in the accident and will cope the -25 championship points on the chin. seriously feel so sorry for tander was in a good place to go on and take it and make it two from 3 for the enduro cup, rember he has also jsut been dropped so winning bathurst and sandown another team would have picked him up in a heartbeat, im not saying they wont know but it would have looked that much better Link to comment

Skaife was spot on in the commentary, the redress rules are dumb, when you have a car going slower to allow a car off the track to come in front of them, it's going to cause problems. Kelly got a 10 sec penalty earlier for nudging someone off. Precedence had been set. The situation Whincup caused wasn't fixed, and the penalty isn't for the secondary accident, but Whincup nudging Scott off.If Scott had've been beached then the same penalty would have applied. Yeah, Skaife was correct in that the rule opens people up to this issue, but that issue wouldn't have happened if 88 didn't go in too hot, lock and slide into 33. Without that decision this whole debacle is avoided and the three cars battle on This is the latest from the stewards. Crazy that the girls got fined $5k for not participating in the transporter parade http://www.supercars.com/news/championship/stewards-summary-supercheap-auto-bathurst-1000-2/?sf38450227=1 Edited October 10, 2016 by braad JackDoff and Nnnnnathan12 2 Link to comment

Benched Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 One of my sporting heroes, well, actually, just life heroes, has announced his retirement. Mark Webber is hanging up the boots after the Bahrain round of the World Endurance Championship. This bloke is an absolute legend, sheer class and epitomises all the good things about the Aussie character. Nnnnnathan12 and JackDoff 2 Link to comment
