Read in the paper today that James Courtney is going to DJR Racing next year. They are looking to resign Wil Davison soon too, which leaves Steve Johnson out, about time they got rid of him.

Shame about Richards though... seeing his car losing pretty much all rear-end grip was a shame. And I don't think I was the only one hoping that Murph would run out of fuel :D

Wow. That was an amazing race.
I tried to wander off and do some other things during the day, but I couldn't leave it. I was riveted from start to end.

Great Three-peat for Lowndes/Whincup!
Bummer for Winterbottom and Richards to go down like that two years in a row. :(
Can't help but feel Winterbottoms day is coming though.

Lowndes clearly didnt deserve it...

Amazing legendary run by Murphy and Richards to come second after Lowndes shunted Murphy and fucked up their car earlier. They spent the race crawling back to third place. then Greg put on the pressure and ignoring pleas from the pit to hold back successfully fought for second. Murphys attitude towards the Pit crews pleas was fuck off I am racing, let me race. Legendary Holden driver and four times Bathurst winner!

What is stupid is not seeing the truth to the statement I made.

The winning driver shunted the second place driver and caused damage to his car that forced him to the back of the field.

Other drivers have been penalised with pit drive throughs for less.

Perhaps due to the big names involved, the winning driver got away with it and went on to win the race. Injustices always happen in V8's, the winner doesn't always deserve to win, thats the way it is. Pity for the legendary for Murphy that Lownsy got away with shunting him, but what a race, Murphy pleased the fans by clawing his way back to second position, then high pressure racing at the end.

Lowndes was in front of Murphy when they collided. The onus was on Murphy to stay out of Lowndes's way. I'm outraged that Murphy wasn't penalised!

Yeah mate. :)
They went to the team testing at Qld raceway a couple of weeks back. We've got photos of them with both Craig and Jamie. :D

Looks like they had an awesome day. I got to go to work. :down:

What a start to the Fuji GP! Hamilton is such a fuckwit. Couldn't possibly handle getting a bad start off the line so he forces his own team mate out the way, bullies Raikkonen aside only to come into the first corner way too heavy and cause the field some chaos.

At least Massa has some balls to say 'yea? I'll take you on, cunt!' a few corners later. Massa will prolly get a penalty but good on him I say!
Real un-fucking-professional by Hamilton He's got so much to learn. A little boy playing with a man's toy.

Yeah, exactly my thoughts, and really highlights why he needed to drive for a few years in a slower car. Whenever he loses a position his head just explodes and he does something stupid. Shame Massa couldn't capitalise and get a few more points out of the race - and how about that move he pulled on Webber?! Crazy stuff.

And a big fuck yeah to Alonso. 2 in a row! :up:

And another big fuck yeah to 10HD for showing it at 3pm! :up:

EDIT: Turns out Bourdais was penalised for the incident with Massa as Bourdais was exiting the pits (which moved Massa up to 7th). Now, as much as I want Massa to beat Hamilton in the championship, that's just fucked. Bourdais did nothing wrong.
