haha, Paul i relented a month ago and got foxtel. I too have refused, but this years GT was the clincher for me. Watched all the GT stuff yesterday and today. Awesome stuff.

Great drive by Roger! Kept it clean (where others struggled...) and did the business.

Matt · 4 Mar 2016, 15:06 (Ref:3619923)

Watched the foxtel coverage from about 6pm to midnight local time.

Great stuff.

Good late passing for third. Good job scudd!!!

Backed up the win with a podium, well done Scud.

Good light flashing from lago while making passes!

goat69 · 5 Mar 2016, 23:11 (Ref:3620315)

Bad luck scudd. Great racing all weekend though.

rich07 · 5 Mar 2016, 23:16 (Ref:3620318)

Ah **** what a shame for Scud

Reload · 5 Mar 2016, 23:23 (Ref:3620322)

A devastating finish for Scud, however he drove brilliantly all weekend. He really seems to have found some extra speed in the car and it boads well for the rest of the year.
Don't know whether the car can be fixed in time for Melbourne ?

I hope so. Would be good to see him at the gp.

Thanks for the support lads.

I wasn't told I was leading, I thought the Audi in front of me was for position.

Had I of known I was 10 seconds in the lead then I wouldn't of done anything silly.

But to the general public, I look like a ****wit.

Nothing that many others haven't done before.

Tough luck mate. Frustrating for you.

Well we know otherwise so you're not a ****wit in our eyes, you've had a bloody good weekend up until this morning so there's a lot of positives to take away from Clipsal. A win and a podium is a lot to be happy with and you should be proud of that.

I read somewhere else that you're planning on getting Davy Russell on the radio from now on so hopefully what happened this morning doesn't happen again.

"Dads army" from bathurst have pipped in with some timely advice, "patience roger". Ah im glad i know them as their advice is always helpful.

TCR · 6 Mar 2016, 22:30 (Ref:3620688)

Was wondering why you were pushing so hard given the lead you had scudd. None the less, you put in a great effort over the weekend and congrats on the round win.

Out of curiosity, are the pit stop handicaps calculated for every single race based on qualifying times?

MaskedRacer · 7 Mar 2016, 02:53 (Ref:3620732)

Great to find the Adelaide GT races on youtube. From someone used to Blancpain and PWC. I found the pit stop handicaps awfully confusing.

I am gutted for what happened to Mr. Lago at the end of race 3. Circumstances can be so cruel sometimes. And this comes from somebody (me) who is not a big fan of the Lambo Gallardo.

Tourer · 7 Mar 2016, 07:10 (Ref:3620778)

Wow - that's a big penalty for a race incident.

Wonder why they went that hard on him - is there a background story to this?

D.R.T. · 7 Mar 2016, 07:19 (Ref:3620783)

Yeah it was a mistake however that is a rather large penalty.

I wonder if this is the precedent they will mark everyone on moving forward
