Why the hell are ford drivers always letting thru holden drivers but tussling with other falcon drivers?!! If they decided "okay he is faster than me at moment I am slowing him down I dont wanna stack and not get any points" why the hell do they still do it!!!

Today was the perfect example of why Ford can't win a round. Now I think if Jeff Pollites (Is that how you spell his name???) really wants Ford to win, then he should nominate a team to be number 1. At the moment the Ford teams are more interested in taking each other out rather than HRT or other Holden teams. This is because they are fighting for Ford sponsorship dollars in the race to be the #1 Ford team. To quote a Hollywood car film, "Today Ford looked like a monkey F*cking a football."It was truely embarrassing to be a Ford fan today when 3 top drivers from your camp take each other out on 1 corner.
HRT arn't Fords main rival. Ford is it's own worse enemy. Jeff if you are going to but your nose in to the running of Fords V8 Supercar assult then do it like a true leader and gather your teams as one common force and don't divide them as you have done.

Gee thats a bit HARSH...
What about Murphy taking out Bargwanna...In their heated argument Murphy said he would do it again...
So their are Holdens trying to take out Holdens as well...
I think Marcos did the BEST job ever in race 1 to keep big nose behind him with very second hand tyres. Its just a pity he couldnt take it up in race 2.

And what about Ingall taking out Richards? This taking out stuff happens to both Ford and Holden.

WTF was Wilson doing just sitting there smoking his tyres. All he did was just cause Lowndes to stack into him. If the Fords are going to beat HRT they have to work together, not against each other

I think the blame for this falls equally between Wilson and Ambrose. Ambrose tried to barge his way past when there wasn't room causing Wilson to spin. Wilson on the other hand should of seen Ambrose coming and let him through. Wilson shouldn't of stood on the throttle and smoked the tyres he should of just waited until it was clear and then taken off. Lowndes should of seen that stuff was happening and driven out onto the grass to pass Wilson instead of driving blind through the smoke. Ambrose was quite unlucky to damage the car and DNF after what seemed a relatively minor altercation. The mad bugger was trying to restart the race with no power steer! The officials wouldn't let him, probably concerned hydraulic fluid would leak onto the track and cause more accidents.
If Skaife and Ambrose had won a race each who would be the round winner?

Get romano off the track!

Wilson was a bit dumb, thats how they do it in Indycars to avoid hitting the wall, or okay if desperately fighting for the lead, but not mid pack, dumb dumb.

but not as dumb as Radisichs crew fitting the old single rail gearbox during the rebuild and having the shifter come out in his hand during the race ... well we all know THAT one!

For interest sake I checked the AVESCO rules and in section D14.4 it basically says that if their is a tie for position at the end of a round the order in the last race will be used to break the tie in that round.
