Yep. Pushed him wide. Left him with no choice but to hit him or hit the wall. Disgusting bit of driving, but I've come to expect no less from van Gisbergen.

Put your bias aside mate. He got in the marbles and got in the wall. There was no squeeze from Gisbergen, it wasn't a dirty move.

Yeah, van Gisbergen is the most overated driver... He should not get any of the praise he gets for his driving. It's bad enough that he is a filthy liar as we know when he left SBR for 'personal reasons' saying he'll never drive a V8 Supercar again then a few weeks later he has signed a new contract with Tekno... I hope he does get sued for all he's worth...
 
Gis was cleanly up the inside, Scott was on the outside where there was no grip and that's what caused him to slap the wall.

Gutted the 33 is gone :( 97 or bust now. Super Black could get a top five if people keep falling off, lol.
 
And suddenly Percat is 5th, dare I dream of a podium for him and Gavin?
 
Well, now the race is pretty much done for me. Only Lowndes left, can't care for any one else, especially any Ford or van Gisbergen. Isn't it fitting that his car sponsor is a Dog food brand?

Van Gis is easily one of the best drivers, but the teckno move has put a black mark on him, even though it was proved to be the right move.
 
SVG is making this look easy. Cut his way through Lowndes, Coulthard & Mostert like they were nothing. :crazy:
 
Looking good for a kiwi to win this, even though I'd like Scotty to have pulled it off:( Good to see Holden in the top 3 though:D

He never even touched him, clearly lost the rear and slid into the wall.

You can't fire up the inside like that. The racing line naturally takes you high on the exit, closing the door on anyone on the outside. You have to pull the move off quickly to give the other guy time to duck back in because it's a blind corner and the cars behind will collect a slow-moving car. But van Gisbergen placed his car on the inside and didn't give McLaughlin room. McLaughlin's mistake was his correction, trying to realign the car to tuck back in, but van Gisbergen left it too late. They might not have made contact, but van Gisbergen as good as put McLaughlin in the wall.

It's the same as when he dive-bombs down the inside at the Chase, but turns in later than he needs to, leaving the other car out wide and forcing them to have a minor off. Whincup does it, toi.

I think you've got some hatred issue you need to sort out.

So you's obviously think that lying is a good thing to do? He was not legally allowed to sign with Tekno nor anyone else, yet he did. Not to mention the dummy spits he does when something doesn't go his way. For that, I'll never respect him.

And how is a move that was not allowed to legally happen, a 'good move'?
 
This year my adage has been that if McLaughlin can't win, either SVG or Fabian should. Don't care that they're in Holdens any more, my patriotism has the better of me :)

If 97 has enough fuel and/or a good enough tyre set to slap on in the final stop, Shane's going to walk to the chequered.
 
The Ford's need to get up past Fab or Giz is gone at the last pit stop.

Tbh them changing to a new brand makes it not as simple as you think, but the way he has gone about with it was bad.

Either way the bs you spouted about his skill is mark of someone who's hate is bigger then his head.
 
It's not going to happen because Frosty is looming large in his mirrors but come on Percat!

I don't think it's unreasonable to dislike a driver with a reputation for dirty driving. Why do you think Tander used to call him the "serial pest"? It's because he never leaves racing room, and a lot of his moves dare the other driver to cause an accident.

Im not saying everything you said is laughable but its exactly what im saying.

Racing is tough, scotty is my favourite driver but im the first to admitt that it was still his mistake.

Allowing room for an overtake to happen was still in his control.

Scott himself even said it was his error and that he didn't see Gis on the inside. Case closed.
 
Aw, that was a shame for Nick but can't be too upset. He and Gavin had driven a fantastic race up to that point.

If he stuck with SBR and gritted his teeth and fought it out, I'd have a world of respect for him, unfortunately, he didn't. And as I said, I'm not obliged to respect someone who lied, complains and is an occasional dirty driver. Don't get me wrong, he is an unbelivable driver in the wet, but his off-track actions would leave anyone with a bad taste in their mouth.
