Wow I've missed a heap!
Please enlighten me as to what is so offensive about it? I've seen several cars driven by girls who have that sticker on their car but a girl saying it is okay?
Purely my opinion but it goes like this: If he had said it TO the girls, in a personal context, yes maybe they would have giggled at the joke. Because he said it ABOUT them TO the media as an audience, THAT is why it was so inappropriate. You've also got to consider how unwise it was for him to say that about essentially, a team car within the PRA family, and to refer to them by their gender wouldn't have been done to any other driver. Calling them the 'Supergirls' for example was their team name. Also V8 clearly want their athletes acting professionally, despite the bogan fraternity who have pepped up suggesting they 'get a sense of humor'. Consider if a member of the Australian swimming team made a similar comment to the media about a female team mate- similar to your story, that maybe the girls were slower because their 'extra bits' were creating more drag? The fine would have been higher for sure. Reynolds is a creep, never liked the guy.
These new cars certainly fall apart compared to the old rigs.
Not a wheel left on that.
Little theory called 'dissipation of energy', it's the reason Chaz survived that crash. It's sort of the whole point when you crash that the car falls apart to protect the driver.
Wtf is going on with Whincup? Seemed to have a whole lot of brain fades yesterday at the death.
Mind you, the whole safety car thing has to be thought out a little better - was the implication of all that, that Whincup would have dropped a lap if he pulled in behind? Or just that he needed to wait to get the green light
Needed green light or to be signalled by the SC Communicator (who sits in the passenger seat). He may not have dropped the whole lap, but shit in the double stack scenario, 1st and 5th would have still been better than 1st and 19th.
Some have suggested he's done this to get out of his Red Bull deal. That's fucking stupid, if he wanted to do that then he could've driven into Lowndes when the safety car took off.
Edit: Why was there no penalty for Winterbottom's pitlane infringement? He drove straight into another car!
Doubt it, I think he's just being a little reckless knowing the championship is off the table.
Because MW redressed before an investigation was needed, it was only a light tap really anyway.
10 days til GC!!
