I acually think it may be a good race this year, probably won't watch the whole race, probably the first 1/2hr and the last hour, I'm more into the whole tech side of racing, how drivers approach the race, and the strategy side of things.Quote:

Hahaha bingle ingall will run out of tallent and take out himself and his team mate by half race distance.
Meanwhile, a $25k fine for calling the all girl entry a pussy wagon. It's not equality if you are a protected species.
Probably if he hadn't used the word pussy, he wouldn't have been fined.
I think it's quite humerous , but others put connotations to it.
And he's right in his description , but it shouldn't have been seen as sexist.

He's apparently on good terms with the girls and was probably having a dig at them, as you do with your mates. It's a shame to lose the larrikin in us to the pc gods. Traditionally in Australia, we mainly insult people we like, it's a sign that we like them. We seem to be turning German...we'll all be very punctual polite people to avoid being fined. Can't wait for that wacky Germanic sense of humour to kick in. I've probably insulted Germans now...don't worry it means I like you. :)
I agree, especially with all the PC ***** around these days.Quote:

EXCELLENT final practise for Co-Drivers this morning,....Good to see Russell do his FASTEST EVER lap to finish with a brilliant third, & also Marcos, now with a few laps under his belt, finish in 4th place.
Of course, there's a few on here that think this is simply "taxi racing",....well just take a look at Russell's "work" behind the wheel just during practise, the speed He's doing, & the wheel work He's having to do,.....doing that with 24 other cars for about for SIX hours. It would not be easy. GO RUSSELL.

Tom.
Lap record has been smashed to pieces by Jamie Whincup who's just done a 2.04,...quali will be very interesting in a few hours.
