So Lowndes to the back of the grid for the 2nd race today - he's having a cracker of day isn't he? He'll have ago, no doubt about it but it's one of those days you'd just want to get finished & wake up to a fresh start tomorrow!

Another gt error on the re start, that's 3 now. And yet not one penalty. Who's the favourite to win

Hopefully they'll stick with the same rule structure for SC restarts now and all can get used to it - no doubt some consistency will help. |

Why don't we allow passing before the control line? Surely when the green flag waves the race can restart?
At the start of the race drivers are free to race before the control line. |

Pretty much what I've always thought. Treat it the same as a rolling start except in single file. It's safe to race, so go race. A lot of faffing goes on around restarts in all series, and rules change by the weekend. It seems to me that's mostly because any version other than 'go' is illogical in some way.

there may be issue though with somewhere like Clipsal, where once the leader gets the green, the last car is still to get around the final turn, which if you allow for racing prior to crossing the control line, you potentially have cars trying to go up the inside trying to overtake into the final turn.
Also makes it very hard to police early jumpers where you need a set of eyes on every car, as opposed to 4 or 5 sets of eyes **cough radar guns cough** just at the control line. |

Is there something wrong about passing.
I agree as said earlier Green means go. |
