Yikes... This season has been a challenge... Could be the team's first winless season in a while (don't fact check that, I didn't)

Gold Coast Results are up, men.  Before I begin I have yet to find an official Stewards Summary.  I do know that via the Supercars website the 31 car was penalized 30 points post race in Race 2 for the inadvertent air jack drop and the RR rotor hitting the ground.  This penalty HAS been applied to the V8CFL points for said race.  Once I find an official Stewards Summary I will either adjust the V8CFL point differences or leave the V8CFL points as they are, depending on the summary.  I will notify all either way.

But as for now, Ecurie SCarGo had a HUGE weekend with a win and a second place.  They now are atop the V8CFL Table headed to Adelaide.

R&K Motorsports and Ecurie SCarGo will head to the V8CFL Tournament final head-to-head in Adelaide for that championship.

Race 1 podium:
1 Ecurie SCarGo / stevo qld / Chevrolat Camaro
2 Kalyara Racing Team / Kytabu / Ford Focus ST
3 Ain't Care Motorsports / skaifeman / Chevrolet Camaro

Race 2 podium:
1 Ain't Care Motorsports / skaifeman / Chevrolet Camaro
2 Ecurie SCarGo / stevo qld / Chevrolat Camaro
3 Kalyara Racing Team / Kytabu / Ford Focus ST

Congrats to skaifeman and Ain't Care Motorsports for their first win of 2024.

Both Barry Ryan and Betty Klimenko report that external interference caused the rift with Brodie.

https://speedcafe.com/believe-in-black-klimenko-explains-bathurst-1000-speech-kostecki-erebus/

QuoteSo, external people created those wounds. And it will probably never get talked about, unless Brodie wants to. But I'm not going to talk about what happened, that's none of anybody's business.

Quote from: mikeamerica84 on October 28, 2024, 12:46:37 PMSo let me see if I have this straight:

WAU hooked Woods's fuel nozzle into Mostert's car.  No fuel went into it.  Hence the later needed third pit stop for Chas. 

But then they are fined $2500.  For what?  What breach was it?  It is not like they altered Mostert's car by putting Woods's tyres on it, or fuel in it.

But there you have it.

gotta top up the coffers somehow - remember Supercars is Australian for $$$$$$$$$$

Agree Stevo, a performing DJR is good for the sport.

There's a few other drivers that I'd have question marks over as seasons end approaches and Aaron Love is one of them.
I have no doubt the equipment he's in would be a little ordinary. He's parked himself firmly into the Blanchard corner and I don't think another team will pick him up given his form and mistakes.

Jaxon Evans needs another season in the car, whereas I think it's best for Macauley to take a more managerial/sponsorship role similar to Andrew.

Ryan Wood has shown some flashes of brilliance, but enough to warrant his long term contract extension at WAU. They obviously know more than me, but I see a car that is capable of winning races consistently enough and the #2 just isn't performing, as has been the way with WAU since WAU became a thing.
I wish they tried for ADP, Golding or went hell for leather for Kostecki...

Quote from: mikeamerica84 on October 28, 2024, 09:15:47 AMJust completed watching the Gold Coast round. 

I realize that WAU used the wrong refueling gantry for Chas in Race 2 and have not seen a stewards summary for the race, but what was the big deal?  There was no mandatory fuel drop for this race.  Nothing has to be measured.  Now if they didn't get enough fuel in the tank, that is their problem but I see the gantry usage as a no issue.  At least they used the one in THEIR pits.

And man.... had Brodie not flipped his lid early in the season, with the way Erebus is running, he might just be right in the mix right now.

But did it have enough fuel in it??

It didn't, they ran it as long as they could before coming in again.
