First Ford fan I've heard today to say no.......
The way I saw it, Frosty tried to pass Jamie, Jamie shut the door, Frosty had to brake suddenly, Lowndesy had to brake suddenly, locked up a little bit and hit Frosty, could Lowndesy avoid it? Debatable, did Lowndesy do it on purpose? Highly unlikely. Did he deserve to get penalised? Probably not.

I'm only a ford fan because that's who I gre up following.
I'm a massive lowndes fan though, more neutral these days because I follow international motor racing more.
I like winterbottom probably equally, so the incident was a double blow to me

Unreal race. I have never seen anything like that. Whoever did the work on turn 2 has a lot of explaining to do.

Just blame the TAFE boys.

They resurfaced the whole track, turn 2 was always going to be a problem. Some people sounded the alarm early, but the 'she'll be right' party won out.

It's over. Ford are gone.

As a Holden man, I can't help but have a smug smirk on my face about this. But I know in the back of my mind that Holden are probably next on the chopping block.

Was a very entertaining race, devastated Bentley didn't even get on the podium after leading with 3 minutes left.
Nice piece of nostalgia seeing Nissan win.

We won Class B!!! You RIPPA!!!
Those Bentleys were two of the best looking race cars I've ever seen. Brilliant.

Hopefully next year they can sort out the timing to allow some of the v8 drivers to compete

You know that was intentional right? V8 Supercars didn't want their drivers to do the 12 hour. Ridiculous.

Yeah i know. Very petty by them.

Redbull Racing fans will especially love this.
