That really was crap racing. What a piss poor excuse for a track.

If the officials were serious, Todd Kelly should have been excluded for putting Wincup out.

At least Morris got penalised for his blatant corner cut in the last race, but I thought it was rediculous how McConville was penalised, when it was clearly Dunbrell that hit him. Crap track, crap racing, crap officials.

Also, not enough was said about Lownds' brilliant recovery.

Credit where credit is due though, the top three did a great job all weekend.

Indeed, but I think it was probably more luck than skill that they got through unscathed. It seems Courtney has settled down a bit which is a good sign.

Two sharp turns right off the start that can only realistically handle one car width is bullsh*t. Be interesting to see what percentage of racing was done under safety car....seemed like a hell of a lot. And then the safety car peels off, get to the first corner and it's all happening again! :sleepystuff:
