[@radamus210]

I suspect you folks will see an invasion of Americans schooling up on Shane after Chicago! What a great event, history making for NASCAR. So watching this clip - yes, we saw the same thing in the last 10 laps or so from Shane - He would lock on to the next victim like he was on his hitch - that takes precision car control to pull that off inches from concrete walls. He didn't have to bump anyone he was that much faster - and he found a line no one else was using because that is what he's excellent at. I think Shane felt pretty confident by halfway point he could pull this off. he could have walked away for half the race and embarrassed everyone. But he liked a certain gap, and maintained it. But when it was time to go, he checked out and gave a class on braking and cornering. Overall this was a fantastic event and all the more special for how it turned out. Sometimes a good slap in the head is refreshing, it clears the cobwebs and gets the blood flowing. NASCAR land sure pepped up and said "Oh, hell, didn't see that coming" LOL!!! And that's what is so great about it.

[@gigacolorscapes1859]

after watching this and chicago, shane still needs work, at 2:59 kostecki blocked him like a real blocker, (really?, bad sportsmanship flag?) not a chase elliot restrictor plate blocker, and speaking about chase, chase let shane by, shane didn't even earn that pass for 2nd with his experience and tires (workin' the corners & and using what he can in the straightways), but hey there's many other road courses he can prove himself at, and maybe even being a full timer, we'll see him like jimmie johnson at indy car perhaps, and by the way juan pablo almost got an indianapolis motor speedway win in nascar, jpm won both road courses at the time, sorry to tell you this but is he going to play stepping stones to jpm tier, or is he a one hit wonder, oop

That's the biggest difference between the 2 series (NASCAR vs Supercar), in Supercars it's a violation to wreck someone to get by him, in NASCAR it's just how it's done. That ruleset breeds superior drivers, but maybe not superior racers. We'll see how SVG performs on an oval, but given his experience racing sprint cars I'm sure he'd be just as lethal. And he's only an above average driver in Supercars, far from the best ever.

The threshold for unsportsmanlike conduct on this side of the pond sits somewhere around hooking someone into the wall at 180 miles an hour. By our standards, that was a brilliant performance, and there’s a decent chance the leader hangs onto it.

To all the V8 supercar fans in Australia, i wanna ask, as cool as seeing the Camaros and Mustangs racing in your country, but does it bother you that the transition from Falcons & Commodores to Camaros & Mustangs kinda changes to whole atmosphere of the series that you and everyone worldwide have become accustom to in the past til now?

[@markszili2577]

100% It has changed it Falcons and Commodores have been a massive part of the sorts legacy, I've switched off from watching the sport, neither Holden (GM) or Ford did enough to compete with the Asian or Euro cars coming into Australia. Holden shut down completely both manufacturing and dealerships, and Ford ended manufacturing of the Falcon. I'm a Ford man myself and drove them for many years as my daily driver, now I'm in a Toyota Corolla, not because I wanted to be but because I had no choice if I wanted a new car with all the interior mod cons. Falcon vs Commodore rivalry on the streets at home and on a racetrack was part of Aussie culture that died too soon and will be missed by millions of people until there is no one left alive to remember.

blocking is making a move in reaction to the driver behind you, you are allowed to make 1 defensive move and then return to the racing line if its safe to do so... but you arent meant to make that defensive move in a reaction to a driver attempting an overtake. So he most likely got it for a few of his defensive moves on lap 40 and 41... but it was bloody harsh, usually race control has a little bit more common sense than that.

I have no attachment to this series and still agree with everything you said lol

[@jamesmcdonald6047]

I watched those last 5 laps and was thoroughly impressed. Both drivers were phenomenal in their racecraft and positioning in those laps. I believe the race finishing order was way it should have ended, Van Ginsbergen clearly had the quickest car. The leader certainly has the right to protect his line ,but not the whole track!! If he is driving with the mirror more than the windscreen, he’s Blocking.. I prefer let it play out on the track, sometimes you Win, sometimes you Wreck!! That’s Racing

[@pkblade]

I agree they should have been left to race and as you can hear from Mark Skaife commentating Kostecki was doing everything what he would have done back in the day. There was a similar incident with SVG in Barbagello where he was the quicker car but couldn’t find a way round but because of supposedly excessive blocking over several laps the other car was warned & had to yield.

Pretty sure the call was made for the move Brodie pulled on the front straight coming to 2 to go. SVG got a good launch out of the corner and might have *just* had a nose inside when Brodie came across. But, for a more official sound of blocking, basically if the attacking car (SVG in this case) has a run and sticks their nose out to attempt an overtake, the defending car (Brodie) cannot move across to cover in reaction. At least that’s the rule in most motorsport.
