However, if sliding the rear of the car to help it turn is out of control, then majority of us in that weekends top 10 shootout should have been penalised due to reckless driving as I’ve never seen so much in-control sliding in all my life. While I find this offensive for someone to think I wasn’t in control of my car which I’d been belting around the greatest track on earth in all weekend as hard as I could, I can see how they’ve confused the cars yaw (or oversteer as we commonly know it) as out of control. “Where I believe the stewards made an error was them assuming I was out of control. The day I don’t take an opportunity like the one that presented itself down at the chase on Sunday is the day I’ll happily hang my helmet up and give my spot to some young kid that will have a go.
I was well and truly up the inside of him and when contact was made in the middle of the corner, I was on the apex, on the right trajectory and fully in control of car 88.Īs the late great Ayrton Senna once said, if you don’t take an on track opportunity when it presents itself, you’re no longer a racing driver.
The move was on, Scotty made a mistake out of Forrest Elbow which allowed me to make a run, he half blocked down at the chase which he’s fully entitled to do and allowed me racing room on the inside to execute the pass. Sometimes you can watch a replay and change your opinion of what went on but I’ve now watched the incident where contact was made between Scotty and I at the chase 1000 times and my opinion has not changed.

To think this whole debacle, and I call it a debacle – Tekno not being able to celebrate properly like they should, Supercars Australia (SCA) branding us un-Australian and playing dirty by slamming us in the media, the TV crews cutting radio audio and pasting in over the top of footage laps later in an attempt to further fuel the ‘I don’t listen to my team’ criticism, all the man hours from both T8, CAMS, SCA preparing for the appeal, could have all been avoided straight after the race, dam!
