[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Should be a NO rules class

Should be a NO rules class

this should be F1....

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Nah, then it wouls just be a Ferrari fest and the wogs would NEVER get tired of it

[emts]

But it also why I don;t watch it anymore.

look at LMP1

you can have petrol, diesel, different forms of hybrids, different driven wheels, (yes we still love you NIsmo no matter how much crack you smoking)

and technology from it trickles down into road cars most recently the laser lighting system from AUDI.

either that for the FIA GT3 championship where the cars are still based on the factory ones.

oh and bathurst...cos beer.

yeah its much more exciting.

the 2 national level sports sedan series are 2-3 seconds faster at sandown than Carrera GT3 and V8 SC. and theyre basically budget motorsport compared to those teams (well, not budget, but almost grassroots really)

what are the national level sports sedan series?

Thought CAMSpulled their national standing?

[Leroy Peterson]

i dunno anymore. theres the Kerrick National Sports Sedans Series and used to be another one, Victorian Sports Sedan Series. which is basically the sandown and winton rounds im pretty sure.

also, miguele:

[emts]

Sports sedans is stilla series but not a championship (no idea difference) but for the rest Yeah they all been given the flick as a "national series"

http://autoaction.com.au/cams-announcement/

cams basiclly Fked every-one who did not have a million to run a team.

hmmmm.

im not sure how it should be done. but it seems that other than time attack and drifting, motorsport doesnt seem to be increasing in popularity or exposure or participation. its nice to see some new cars and victorian track backs in the V8 SC calendar though.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Motorsport will never grow while CAMS is running it

Fined because he breached "Safety" protocol by doing a burnout on the track in front of the grand stand...

Are they forgetting that he was on the track, the spot that 5 minutes earlier he drove over the same patch of asphalt at 250km/h?

[emts]

I can somewhat see the logic.

there are still ppl racing for places so travelling at 200+ km over that patch, add in a heap of smoke and an unknown car, could go bad.

BUT..

considering every fan wants to see that, and that the only time he in front of the main crowd, plus I'm sure he pulled to the side and did it not just doing donuts in the middle, a quiet reminder that it is to be done after turn 1 would be more than enough.

ideally they should be encouraging a bit of showmanship after the finish to keep the human in the sport, every-one is on radios anyhow.

eg more of this...(NSFW comments)

and less PR planned stuff.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

If there were still cars on the track then he's a f**kknuckle.

Remember what happened to Beau Yates when Rattla did that? Nearly killed both drivers

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Excellent snap Birds

[Leroy Peterson]

its not like he stopped on the finishline and did a skid... he would have passed the line as fast as everyone else and then slowed down/stopped. he was pulled over to the racecourse side of the track (not on the race line). and its not like he was sitting there doing an easternats level of smoke.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Haven't seen the vid but cant see why he couldn't wait until people were off the track
