Doesn't make any sense that Scotty was penalised at Sandown for something that happened at Bathurst. Makes it pretty clear that v8 supercars officials are very biased.

[@yarpos]

Gee you would make a great Magistrate. Oh really Fred, you burged the place last month? ahh thats in the past, so no consequences for you. Just carry on, all good.

[@chloesammann4276]

Well I guess it makes sense not much people win Bathurst from pole lmao

[@zoeaitken.]

where is McLaughlin on the bathurst start grid now though because if he had started somewhere else the result might have been different

[@Rotaron]

So this might be a dumb question??? So no power increase!! So no real advantage! Then what's the bloody issue???? The engines are all sealed, so the 3rd party engine shops need to lift there game. Whether it ford or Holden that used the engine it would have made no difference so what's the issue???? This is why V8S are losing fans.

[@Sager-fs9bv]

Yes group A was the best racing both rally and circuit. And the cars were what we all drove on the road.

[@jeffwilliams742]

Agree because today’s race formula is so boring and crap

[@peterj5751]

I hate the whole formula. I hate that they are just a standard chassis and gearbox and that they all run controlled versions of V8 engines set up with a maximum power. I hate that Nissan and Holden are running rear wheel drive V8 cars when you can’t even buy anything close to this basic layout. I hate the compulsory pit stops. I hate the contrived safety cars near the end of the race to ensure they can boast about a close finish. I have been watching the touring cars since I was a little boy and Toranas were racing Falcons and old never miss a race if I could avoid it. Now I watch almost none of it. Bring back a formula with modified road cars which all have different strengths and weaknesses and what real innovation and tactics play out over the race rather than this contrived procession racing we have now. Rant over.

[@Kustom2170]

Peter J I enjoyed reading your comment & I also agree to an extent.... But this category has evolved into an international multi corporation development series..... It is no longer Bob Perkins vs Larry Jones vs Brad Jane vs Moffat Brock vs Peter Perfect... Times have changed and maybe it’s time to let it go...... But never forget 🙏🏽😎

[@nathangregory6653]

All these people saying this is another example of DJR cheating. If they were cheating it wouldve been in all 8 cylinders not just 3 and they wouldve gained an advantage but they didnt.

[@trentmatthews5521]

Nathan Gregory theres no way three cylinders would give you an advantage anyway with such minimal lift on the cam. A hairline more wont do anything in the camshaft area, maybe if it was in the crankcase it would in some way or another, but supercars now have come far too political with all this rules crap. Its ruined the sport, its like f1 and nascar, back in 05 06 ect nascar was great, f1 was great! Supercars were great! Nowadays you touch someones bumper and your penalised

[@andrewschneider1436]

What a joke. Cant they just go by the average lift of all cylinders. Supercars is a joke

[@yarpos]

you the team owner are responsible for the package and getting engines built. Your approach is like shonky businesses that try to wash there hands of incidents because its a contractor or an outsourcer. They are all your responsibility , you specifify what it is they do or provide.

[@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4]

Walking for sure

[@oldayzgarage]

You guys should be embarrassed to even bring this up. You state, although it breached a minor engine spec ON ONLY 3 CYLINDERS, it did not have any effect what so ever on power levels. If that's the case, then how did it give him an advantage? SECONDLY, you technically can't just add extra lift on valves. There must have been a slight machining difference on a cam lobe for example. Running cylinders unevenly does not give you an advantage....and you guys are supposed to know this stuff. It's just stupid rules for the sake of making rules. You won't keep the category alive by stealing money from the rich guys.

That's really silly. McLaughlin is part of the DJR team, employed by DJR. Good or bad decisions made among the team by Scott or anyone else, effect the outcome of a race. If he decides he is disadvantaged to much by the decisions of his own team it is his choice if he stays there or shops around for options but while he is there he is DJR

Oh my god what pathetic double standings by Supercars organisation. There policy is that what ever happens, holden must WIN. How many years did holden dominate the races and no though by V8 supercars to even the pace. Then speak to Marcus AMBROSE on how he was robbed over the supercar title in Tasmania where KELLYS team mate blocked AMBROSE from passing so KELLY could catch up. All the Holden boys come out and state it was good team work and was supported by V8 supercar. There is nothing in Australia that can compare with the corrupt behaviour of the V8 supercar fraternity How dare another car brand other than Holden win races. They will keep changing the rules till holden again win championships. This goes back to the Series P{rodustion races in the late 60 and early seventies. FORD had to race with unmodified showroom cars but the Holden XU1 was allowed to change from stromberg carbies to WEBERS.

[@cameronsteele9330]

Joe VAN DIJK Ok Boomer

[@apsallpartsolutions7312]

No. Advantage at all.

[@Alex-tu9bh]

To achieve more lift you need a bigger cam right? How wouldn’t it be on purpose, surely couldn’t have used a different cam by mistake

[@DDS029]

But only on three valves, to me would indicate a bad grind job on the cam. Could be human error. If it was CNC'd it could have been a bad tool bit. And sometimes for some reason computers decide to do things in not a logical order. So these could have been the last three lobes ground, no matter where they were on the cam, and something moved before they were cut. It could have been the bottom of the lobe had too much taken off, and not necessarily the top of the lobe ground to high. That would still measure too much lift, but from the center of the cam to the top of the lobe could be in spec. When you are dealing in thousandths, it doesn't take much to throw something out that much.

[@robgodden6736]

At the start of the season Mclaughlin was winning every race. Roland Dane and Whingecup couldn't handle the fact they went the kings of the track anymore. 888 racing cried and cried about the advantage DJRTP supposedly had, which was nothing more than sheer hard work the team into preparation of their cars. Next thing you know 888 motorsport cried so much about parity which was a load of BS anyway, the powers that be (all Holden people by the sounds of it) pulled this parity stunt. Seems like 888 and Holden are running Supercars. Whingecup has been sandbagging for most of the season to support his parity claims, nothing surer that. He is a sore loser along with the whole 888 team. Pathetic. All of a sudden in the last 3 or 4 race meetings Whingecup has found speed , well well well. Strange that. When 888 was winning every race and championship in the last 10yrs not a word about parity then was there. No Ford team's crying. Roland Dane and Whincup should stop acting like little girls and grow some Balls, it's not all about your team winning everything, every race every year all the time. You cunts have had a good run for along time, suck it up like men . I'm sure the wankers running Supercars will make sure the Mustangs are kept from winning too many races in the future.

[@mozzaplaysgames7897]

It's because the gap wasnt something dumb when whinecup was winning, We have parity changes to keep the racing close and good, Which we've had besides Sandown which was a 888 race whether anyone liked it or not. But the Mustang won with stupid high gaps between the cars along with Tickford randomly finding all of this speed, there was obviously something up. Now that it's been fixed and everyone has got their head around the new single spring shock it's a lot more obvious who the fast people are which is, 888, Shell and Tickford, Everyone else will catch up I'm sure of it and i think we will see a good battle next year with the less downforce. 888 has good cars for Gold Coast and Sandown we know that, We'll have to wait and see at Newcastle

[@dttocs4746]

It has always been the same. Ford is winning "add weight" Ford is winning "remove area from front splitter" ford is winning "lets make the rear wing smaller" Holden is winning " lets do nothing"

[@robgodden6736]

@@mozzaplaysgames7897 2 seconds isn't a big gap. Whingecup and SVG went going well earlier in the year cause they couldn't get cars sorted out as well as DJRTP ... 888 and Whinging Winer decided to cry parity to try and fuckup the DJRTP team , knowing full well the 888 cars hadn't come to grips with the new shockies ect. as well as the DJRTP cars. So 888 used their own incompetence to cry parity, knowing full well they would get their cars going better eventually. And hopefully gain something extra by getting the Mustangs penalized with all the parity crap.

Or just blind that you can’t read there was a TEAM breach (Basically cheating which you can’t acknowledge since all you’re on about is how “bad” triple 8 is & how Penske “Is just too good”. Let’s not forget, some key facts. 2017 - Newcastle (McLaughlin runs Lowndes into the fence and blocks him moving through like usual) Issue for the team and they cried over the championship that year. 2019 - Bathurst (Coulthard cheats, gets penalised and there’s a debate over it) Another bad thing Penske did and CRIED ABOUT. Let’s also not forget, the title of this video! Where him & the TEAM, changed the engine for The top 10 shootout and for pole. I can’t wait for you to come back and say “Oh but 888 cheats too” when they’ve been struggling because of the fact Penske have been quite over the top with their poor choices in RACING.

Clearly a mindset of win at all costs within the team, which is outside of the spirit of the sport. They've basically been spanked for everything they tried to do at Bathurst, the only success left to them is the win for the drivers. Hopefully they learn from the experience & choose to stay within the rules in future. All the fans want is a fair competition, so we know whoever wins actually deserves it.

Fact it’s a control camshaft Fact that’s the only way to get lift from a camshaft Why should they be fined for doing something thing out of their control V8 supercars should be fined for idiots running their business Fact nascar is crap and now V8 Supercars are crap.

Nathaniel Nixon no it’s not

If the cam was out of spec then there would be a even number of cylinders effected since 1 lobe lifts two valves. It's either 1 lobe and one rocker arm or three rocker arms. It's beyond a joke though. The regulations should be based on the average lift of all intake and exhaust valves. Depending on the angle of the pushrod as the rocker wears you will end up with slightly higher lift.

[@theauthenticsteve]

No the extra lift would have been caused by failed head gaskets which would have also been the cause for the reported engine failure. The extra lift was reported to be 0.0035" more than permitted by the rules or less than one tenth of a mm. This could have easily been caused by failed head gaskets. It was also reported this resulted in no performance advantage in dyno testing. It was a bullshit decision.

[@lionatelier]

Yes it is a control camshaft it was mandated with the COTF it was .025” out, and only out on three cylinders the flow rate would not have even been measurable,as the Dino run obviously showed but regardless of if it’s intolerance it’s all it was an intolerance so to fine someone $30000 and put them to the back of the grid is just head hunting when there at the top of there game typical tall poppy of Australians it gave no extra HP as the commentators said so to be logical nothing even needed to be said there was no gain.

[@theauthenticsteve]

@@lionatelier Have you got a link for the cam info? That does not add up. The engine build sheet showed lift in spec, after the failure the valve lift was only measured at 0.0035" over.

[@pusskingleo7564]

6 Random??? engines, yeah, McLaughlin, Coulthard , Mostert, Davison, Holdsworth and Waters.

[@darrenwilliams6271]

cheaters

[@ipgray3542]

Yeah you saw it in Dicks face when he was walking back with the trophy in his hand. He new they cheated to win. End of story.

[@nicward2623]

So it passed the hp test but the witch hunt continued until they found a microscopic breech that gave zero benefit. I'm done with this bullshit series you hobble the mustang and give the commodore more aero. Congratulations 888 are winning again and all is right with your world. I can't wait until my subscription is up with Fox so I can cancel it

Cheats

[@mattcdh1189]

did you watch the whole video?

[@tradernz2038]

Triple eight winning doesn’t seem to draw the same scrutiny 🤔

[@justgjt]

Naughty Ford / Detroit pressure being applied . . WIN AT ALL COSTS... sic (Cheat but don't get caught). Good governance and assurance at work catching them out.

[@mohitewhatu2760]

Typical american sideswiping the real issues, no intent, bull

[@mikeelenius9573]

answer this. if there is no advantage then why in God's name did they get a penalty. in fact, there was a power loss. supercars you're a joke!
