How bloody good, and somewhat ironic, was Pye's drive through the field to 6th?

Perhaps had Supercar handled the whole incident(s!) properly from start to finish, managing the media output, the output to teams, the anti-DJRTP and their drivers wouldn’t be so heated! |

I would have though that holding up the entire field by 50 seconds to advantage your teammate would be bringing the sport into disrepute.

I would have thought you do that to advantage yourself from the double stack, not sure where you get the disrepute from though.
But I guess yours, like mine, is nothing more than an opinion. Each to their own. |

Team is lucky Supercars have no balls to disqualify the whole team for it. |

Pye did not compare SM to Armstrong.
If anything he compared his team to Armstrong. |

I just can't get why the fastest and formerly most likeable guy we have seen in ages has got the self confidence of a baby. None of this would have happened if he hadn't whined about all the social media. We know the social channels are feral, but if you complain about it, you stoke the fire. People literally accuse Roland & 888 of cheating every other weekend, but nobody bites because they don't give a ****. |

Speaking of Pye those were some good passes in yesterday’s race. Hopefully today provides more action

Thanks @mixer
From what I’ve seen, the other drivers have responded to SM calling the pit lane toxic etc. the other drivers have responded rather than started the fight. SM to me is coming across as a cry baby. A very fast cry baby... |

It would have had to pit for fuel just like Jamie did because of the extra downforce and drag the commodores received due to their incessant whinging.

I know the setting is beautiful but in terms of actually being able to race this might be one of the worst circuits on the calendar.

Gee that new and improved hairpin section delivered heaps of overtaking as Mark Skaife kept spruiking. Has anyone ever thought Skaife ain't much of a track designer? Newcastle feels like Canberra by the sea.

And DJRTP take the trifecta - Bathurst, the Drivers' Championship, and now the Teams' championship.
What an awesome result. |

Bit of a sedate weekend.
Congratulations DJRTP. 888 finished the year strong, but you have to go all the way back to 2005. That was the last time they finished the year without either a championship or Bathurst. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

I think I counted two televised for position overtakes during the Saturday race. Didn't bother watching todays as I watched the Super GT x DTM dream race instead. More overtaking in 1 weekend than an entire Supercars season.
I really hope that the attempts to improve the racing works and that they take this seriously because it's a major problem. |

Congratulations to DJRTP for winning the Teams Title, Ford for winning the Manufacturers Title, and Mr McLaughlin for winning the Drivers Title.
Thank you to GRM for years of participation and commitment, even when it didn’t always work for you, you were there. Thank you to the pilots now without homes, or full time Supercar homes, to Mr Stanaway, Mr Golding, Mr Slade, Ms De Silvestro.. and maybe a few more.. you will have other thngs to do next year, yet your contribution over a number of seasons is well known & appreciated. Ms SdS I hope you truly kick arse in Porsche next year! To Nissan. Thank you for participating these last 7 seasons. The cars were not always competitive despite the efforts of your contracted team. Ironic that on the same day you leave the series, the Altima is the car delivering Bryce Fullwood Nissan’s first Super2 series win. |

As an aside - Tickford most improved team? Ignoring the occasional driver muppetry, obviously. |

Sunday was a bit different with fast cars coming from the back of the grid. In addition to aero, they need to look at ways of reducing the advantage the big teams have or should I say increase the opportunity for getting out-of-order grids. |
