Shane's probably going to have 4 or 5 laps to get past Mostert once he gets to him.

Not all is well it seems, drivers seem to be getting suppressed as to their real thoughts on the cars

And now this from SvG's Facebook

Quote:
Sorry for this long post, I thought I'd share some thoughts seeing as I kept most things to myself yesterday.
Most people probably have noticed I have been pretty quiet publicly over the past couple of months. My purpose of writing this is not to 'explain myself' nor to expect sympathy for the public bashing that some of us drivers get, I guess I’ve always been told like most of us as kids ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.’ I will never forget I’m in an extremely fortunate position of being a V8 Supercar driver, my dream job.
It’s not a secret I haven’t been a fan of the way the Gen3 car feels and drives, and behind closed doors I’ve been pretty critical of things and tried to make it better, firstly with feedback to the category in the prototype testing and now with my team trying to make the race spec car to my liking.
The category seems to think our complaints and gripes with the car will ‘make better racing’ if we are struggling and we are told to be positive and show the sport in a good light, which of course I understand the last part. I try to be as neutral as I can with my critiques of the car, I act with the intention of representing the drivers trying to make the car better for everyone.
As much as I don’t have a good feeling with the car at the moment it drops perfectly into my strengths - Hard to drive, on edge, hard on tyres. Perfect for me! So what am I complaining about? I guess I want not only myself, but all drivers to be getting out of the car raving about how awesome and fun it is to drive. Which is something that’s not really happening now.
Over the weekend I probably said a bit too much publicly on Friday about the heat of the cars, although it did prove fruitful getting extra cooling for the drivers. Many still struggled, including myself with the heat. Unfortunately that upset some of the top brass and hence my adopted media strategy for Sunday ‘if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it at all’. I just knuckled down and drove my arse off on track.
I understand it’s my duty to represent the sport in a good light as Champion, I will do that to the best of my ability by being myself off track, racing hard on track for my team members, team partners and our fans. It was a real kick in the teeth hearing those comments from a 5 time champion – someone I look up to and respect. I am not going to pretend it’s all roses when it is not.
The messages I have received today from fans, friends, colleagues and media members has been surprising and amazing. I was pretty down last night so to have such support today from the people that matter is a great feeling.
I love my team, they have been awesome this last couple of months helping me prepare and be at my best at Newcastle. I can’t thank them enough.
See you at the GP

Is there really still no better option than Skaife to have to listen to in the booth? It's like if Rusty Wallace had a 20 year broadcasting career that we were forced to endure.

So based on this were all cars carrying the ChillOut system in violation (based on the washy evidence presented), but only the podium placed cars were protested? Any Ford teams carrying this system?

He makes the races unwatchable.

My only guess is because he appeals to the lowest common denominator and all the smooth brains who follow the sport seem to love him. He also seems to have so much influence over the sport that they can't get rid of him.

Crompton isn't much better, he grew insufferable over the last few years.

EDIT: Just read this line about Skaife and my god it infuriates me.

Quote:
It is also understood that he rang multiple journalists/media proprietors on the Friday night of the Newcastle 500 weekend to complain about negative reporting on Gen3 following practice.

The issue was that they put an additional system on the driver's side, which T888 claims they got verbal permission for from the Supercars technical director but he's said that was a misunderstanding.

The technical regs state that all cooling systems must be placed on the passenger's side (which is where they moved it to for Sunday). And breaches of the technical regulations have a minimum penalty of disqualification. So while it's really an excessive penalty the stewards don't have any choice unless T888 can come up with some more evidence that they had permission to use the extra system.

And i agree, Skaife needs to go. There's several good commentators who could replace him and it seems like he's adding to the toxicity in the series atm.
