I've got Whincup guilty of putting McLaughlin off and has to take some responsibility for the incident with Tander and McLaughlin. McLaughlin was in the wrong for unsafe re-entry but Tander was blocked and had nowhere to go. What was he supposed to do, just sit behind Whincup and wait till he sorted his mess out that GT had nothing to do with?
I have a bad feeling the appeal will be successful because they said the penalty is for putting McLaughlin off the track and had nothing to do with the rest of the incident. If it was purely a penalty for putting McLaughlin off then how does he get a 15sec penalty - something I haven't seen handed down to a driver yet this season for a similar type of incident. Because of the crash, Whincup was unable to redress, but his attempt to do so is what caused all the shit.
Here's hoping it gets rejected and at Gold Coast, Whincup bins it big time in the first few laps.
Otherwise, was disappointed for Lowndes and Frosty, and pretty happy to see a different Bathurst winner. DJR did pretty good with both cars high up in the top ten
